Follow interplanetary rogue Jake Desaul as he battles through 5 distinct worlds.

Each world possesses unique characteristics on one screen: different gravity, friction, or environmental effects, adding challenging new aspects to the screen-switching gameplay!

In addition to the platforming levels, Fractured Soul also contains fast-paced flight levels that also feature this exciting dual screen mechanic!

Gorgeous sci-fi graphics that push the DS to its limits, and eerie atmospheric audio immerse the player in Jake's personal story as he struggles against his own mortality!

• Classic platform game with unique spin: play across both screens of the DS at once!

Turbo Trainz

Turbo Trainz is a fast paced train race which gets your heart thumping and your arms pumping!

Take up the challenge and race against the best drivers from around the world to compete for the Turbo Cup! Your opponents are cunning and will stop at nothing to win. Watch they don’t fire a missile up your caboose, make you lose control with an oil spill or bully you off the rails with many other special tactics. You can fight back with many of your own abilities to even up the race!

If your opponents don’t get you then the environments will test your limits! With broken tracks, earthquakes, crazy mazes and pesky animals, just to name a few, you’re in for a rough time!

For fun with family and friends you can challenge each other in 4 player multi-play on the 1 Wii console to see who RULES THE RAILS!

Key Features:

• Chug like a train using the Wii’s unique control system!
