Giana Sisters DS

Giana Sisters is a retro side-scrolling platformer for the Nintendo DS, inspired by Giana Sisters for the C64/Amiga and the original Nintendo Super Mario Bros. The game offers a pleasant introduction with a low barrier to entry, appeals to both men and women, and contains only minimal aggressive elements. The transformation from ‘sweet Giana’ to ‘punk lady’ and back is controlled by gameplay elements that players can manipulate. The game impresses with its simple controls, well-suited platforming mechanics, charming retro music and graphics, as well as its successful character designs and animations. Giana Sisters is exceptionally well-suited to the platform and, thanks to its precise controls, offers a compelling level of entertainment for platformer fans. Highly recommended for action enthusiasts and all fans of the Giana cult.
