To be honest, the fact Disney is making a game based on its forthcoming animated/live action film about a cartoon princess (called Giselle) who's sent by an evil queen to the real-world city of New York, where upon she falls in love with an already engaged divorce lawyer, doesn't strike us as being the starting point for top DS gaming.

But a quick gander at recent video footage of Enchanted suggests there will at least be plenty of gameplay variety on offer – the sword-fighting bits you get to play as Prince Edward seem pretty lively. There are even Sonic-style 2D platforming levels with you playing as Giselle's pet chipmuck Pip. Check it out:

It all appears slightly reminiscent of the recent Shrek the Third game, which also offered three characters, each of which had very different attributes. But let's hope Enchanted does more for its target audience than the big green ogre did on DS.

Enchanted is due to be released alongside Disney's film this winter.
