Wizards of Waverly Place: Spellbound
2010 video game
Wizards of Waverly Place: Spellbound is a video game published by Disney Interactive Studios for the Nintendo DS, and released on November 16, 2010. The game is based on the popular Disney Channel show, Wizards of Waverly Place. It is a follow-up to the first game of the same title, developed by Black Lantern Studios, which was released in 2009.
Summary
Like the show, the game focuses on the adventures of Alex, Max, and Justin Russo, teenage siblings who happen to be wizards. The game is split into several smaller episodes that tie into an overarching plot involving Alex making a dress for a wizardry fashion show.
The game consists of both point-and-click and action-adventure gameplay. In each episode, the kids learn a new spell, which is then used to solve a series of area-based puzzles. As new spells are unlocked, the kids gain new ways to solve the puzzles, that become more complicated as the game progresses. Between puzzle-based areas, the kids need to complete action-based areas, which are short mini games. Both styles of play merge in a series of challenging games unlocked by completing levels.
