There is a recent trend in video games called life simulations. These games are a sort of role playing game light. Where players build / upkeep something then are rewarded for it while also helping other characters with various jobs/quests.  The game play is easy going and relaxing and moves as quickly as you’d like it to.
One of the most recent additions to this genre is Disney Magical World. This game takes the genre of life simulation and throws a whole lot of charm and Disney magic to bring a new world to life. The game starts out with you selecting your character’s appearance. This can either be created in game or through the usage of your Mii avatar associated with your 3DS.

As the game progresses and more quests are done more customization is further and further unlocked with your character, their personal space and your cafe which is run by your character in game. The game takes familiar characters like Goofy, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and brings them to life as new friend who need help and also patrons of your cafe. There is nothing as interesting as watching Goofy eat pastries in your cafe. Some examples of the help character need are: collecting items, completing a specific set of directions,putting on the right article of clothing and getting complemented on it or as simple as fishing.

In addition to these help quests there are also some action/adventure areas themed after various Disney properties like Alladin, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland and Winnie the Pooh. In these you take on bad guys and clean out the area with your magic wand. These areas are unlocked through the collection of Happy Stickers and extend the fun of the game by changing it up every so often.
On the surface there might not seem like much to do in this game, especially to those more action adventure oriented players, but to gamers who enjoy Animal Crossing and Disney this is a perfect fit. It could take weeks to collect all the stickers and collectables in game, so the game is as long as you’d like it to be.

Disney Magical World is only available on the Nintendo 3DS and retails for $29.99.  It is available everywhere video games are sold and through Nintendo 3DS eShop.
