Pap the
Disney Gamer's Highlights:
Disney Magicboard Online
Developed by: Shanda
System: PC
Often, I run
across some very unique and
interesting Disney video
games, many of them
available only in selected
countries. This is the case
with today's game, Disney
Magicboard. Developed by
Shanda, the game is a racing
game that takes place in an
online world. Starring
Mickey and friends, they
race around with a magic
board, completing various
challenges in the process.
Gameplay is similar to that
of Sega's Sonic Riders video
games.

The story
behind Disney Magicboard
Online is that one day,
Mickey and friends are
enjoying a nice day skating
around town. They find a
magical tree that transports
them to another universe.
There, they find a book that
transforms their old
skateboards into magic
boards that allows them to
fly around town and perform
magical tricks. Certainly,
it is an unique way of
presenting Mickey's
wonderful universe.

Like in many
online games, an element of
character development is
present in this game. You
can make your character a
better racer as well as
obtain faster and more
effective magic board to
race around. Some of the
skills the magic boards have
include hovering as well as
gliding and jumping.

The most
interesting thing about this
game is that it is only
available in China. If that
is the case, why I am
highlighting a game that is
hard to play in this
country? Well, I am about
showcasing the many talents
developers have when
creating unique and
different Disney games.
Disney Magicboard Online may
not be available for
everyone, but it is
certainly a gem when it
comes to Disney gaming.

great opening cinematic:
