«©NCSX» Whereas Forrest Gump* ran, Sho Yamato rides. A mountain bike that is. Sho pedals like a piston and speeds through desert roads and canyons with unflappable determination. To pedal in Idaten Jump DS, players use the stylus to make circular motions on a wheel located on the touch screen. To maneuver left or right, tug the d-pad accordingly. To jump, tap the L-trigger but for double air, draw a "V" on the touch screen and the Sho will hop higher. The first challenge is a practice run which features a single significant obstacle on the course - a tree that lies right in the center of the road. Swerve and you're on your way to the goal. The second race pits the player against a corpulent competitor from the Shark Tooth biker gang.* Forrest Gump is a dim-witted man-child played by the amicable everyman actor, Tom Hanks. Mr Hanks' other roles include an assassin in Road to Perdition, a lawyer afflicted with AIDS in Philadelphia, and the other half of the Bosom Buddies television serial. Bonus Giveaway
While supplies last, orders will include a bonus metal "Flame Kaiser" tag which is shaped like a little shield. Jan Code: 4988611206348 View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX website.
NCS Game Notes
» At the outset of the game, players may set right-handed or left-handed control and the game will adjust the controls accordingly. The name entry field allows 6-characters and we named our hero, "Ryobot" Three profiles may be saved to card memory which preserve player names and settings.» Bikers get tired if exerted too much - watch the health hearts at the top of the screen where each big heart slowly breaks into four hearts and dwindle down during the pedaling action. It's not necessary to swish the stylus continuously to pedal. Once you build up speed and the indicators are hitting to top portion of the speed gauge, Sho will pedal casually on the way to the finish line. After beating the Shark Tooth gangster in the second level, the next stage takes place in the desert where riders tend to tire more easily. » The full name of the game is Idaten Jump DS: Moero! Flame Kaiser. The "Flame Kaiser" refers to the mountain bike that Sho rides. This document is ©NCSX 2006. All rights reserved.
