Chocobos don’t just eat Gysahl grass it seems!
Music on the other hand, Final Fantasy fans will find many familiar tunes such as the Chocobo and battle themes. Other tunes that are original to this latest DS game from Square-Enix are mostly done with a very light paced cheery mood to it all working well with the cute graphics.
On the whole, “Chocobo to Mahou no Ehon” is a beautiful game to look at with some fun replayable mini games. Don’t expect an epic story, though – just lots and lots of Chocobos!

Shouldn’t take you long to find out how to navigate the Picture Books and the mini games aren’t difficult to figure out. The only problem you’ll probably have is understanding what all the goals in the books are.
Pros
- Beauifully presented 2D and 3D graphics.
- Throwing cards up into the top screen.
- Lots of goals to achieve in mini games.
- Makes full use of DS features.
Cons
- Have to wait for pop-up animation before mini games start.
- All the old Final Fantasy tunes re-used.
- Card battles are a bit like rock, paper and scissors.
