If you head on over to
Square Enix's World of Mana website, you can catch a glimpse of the
forthcoming DS entry in the recently reborn RPG franchise. Children of Mana
certainly falls in line with Square Enix's habit of constructing stellar graphics that live up to their bold and
thoughtful art design, though one should be warned about the adorable bunny beanbag creatures that feature heavily in
the game. Centering on the adventures of Flick, Tumble and Pop (fresh from breakfast cereal mascot auditions), the game
aims to attract fans of the classic Mana series in addition to newcomers. The
battle system seems geared more towards reflexes than strategic thinking, but with some Wi-Fi cooperative gameplay, it
should turn out to be an excellent and much needed DS RPG (that doesn't star a certain portly plumber). To view the trailer, follow the link, click on "Trailer" and then on the "Children of Mana" picture.
