Developed by Spellbound Entertainment and published by DTP entertainment, Giana Sisters DS arrived on the Nintendo DS as a platformer.
It is part of the Giana Sisters series; on the DS you can also try The Great Giana Sisters. The series also appears on other systems with The Great Giana Sisters (C64).
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to run, jump and explore
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the DS hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Giana Sisters DS is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
