Marbles are exclusively controlled by the stylus in this title that satisfies even the strongest puzzle addiction. Marbles are rolling relentlessly down a twisted track toward you. Stop them by launching launch new marbles with your stylus. When three or more like-colored marbles match up, they vanish. Tons of power-ups, multiple tracks and a great multiplayer mode make Magnetica a must for puzzle/action fans. Innovative use of stylus to flick marbles.Ultrarealistic magnetic physics: Launched marbles will curve toward like-colored balls. Three single-player modes: Challenge, Quest and Puzzle. Multiple paths and scads of power-ups and hazards will keep you on your toes. Consult the all-in-one dashboard on your top screen. Show off your Magnetica personalty by battling a friend head-to-head. Single-player items boost your score, slow down or stop time, or reverse the course of the marbles. Versus weaponry includes Ion Clouds (smoke screens you'll have to blow away via the DS mic), Recoils (which block marbles), Black Holes (which suck up launched marbles), Viruses (which deflect marbles) and Gravitons (which alter the path of launched marbles). A seemingly endless array of fresh twists will keep drawing you back to single-player Magnetica. Switches, tracks that pass over or below each other, and moving barriers that deflect marbles will keep you flicking marbles for hours.

Shunkan Puzzloop, or Magnetica is a pretty fun puzzle game. The gameplay at first glance appears to be a rip-off of many other games, such as Zuma, but Puzz Loop is actually the series that came first, so its not ripping anything off. The game can be pretty challenging when played in ku kō suto mode, where over 50 different screens.

The music game is appropriately catchy. Unlike a lot of other DS games I have played, I actually felt compelled to listen to its soundtrack in game and not put on external music.

There's not a lot to say, the game is just a very good DS puzzle game.
4/5

Alright puzzle game but also super forgettable too. Pretty much the type of game you'd only play if you have some time to kill...

so that's pretty much me in a nutshell then.

inoffensive. pretty much the exact same thing as zuma and luxor, which by extension are clones of another game called puzz loop. that said, magnetica definitely has the best presentation out of all those
