Developed by Avalanche Software and published by Disney Interactive Studios, Bolt arrived on the Nintendo DS as an action-adventure game.
Avalanche Software also made Cars 2, Toy Story 3 and Tak: The Great Juju Challenge for the DS.
Bolt is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
- you've played the DS hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want a game you can finish in one short session
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Bolt is like
Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.
Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
