    Arthur and the Invisibles is a poor man's Warioware.

    Functionally the game is a boring technical mess. Collision is wonky, the instructions, although intended to be quickly understood fail to do so.

    The gameplay for each of the mini-games is unrewarding and feels more like you are lucky that the controls worked rather than the success was due to yourself. Either the gameplay is too difficult due to poor design or controls, or it's far too easy when the controls are working. It is unrewarding to put simply.

    The music is far too repetitive and becomes grating merely minutes after play. Honestly, I'd recommend playing with the game muted.

    There appear to be some collectibles, but there doesn't seem to be any clearly laid out objective to obtain them. Even while playing the game and doing things that I would figure would unlock items, I didn't earn one so I don't know what to do.

    I get what they were trying to do, but it feels like the studio was quickly contracted and rushed to make a game in like 6 months.

    I would recommend staying away from this title, at least on the DS.    … Expand

    To get your Arthur and the Invisibles fix, examine the PS2 version.

    As for breeding a Mui Mui, it never becomes a worthwhile activity. With just a little more effort in the mini-game design, this Arthur and the Invisibles game would have been worth a look.

    The rapid-fire minigames found in the DS version of Arthur and the Invisibles offer a different take on the WarioWare style of play, and they're a good bit of fun for the relatively short time the game lasts.
