Like Arthur’s grandfather, Besson is always harnessing image and light, playfully contrasting truth-seeking elements from both of the film’s worlds (note the parallel between the lantern Arthur’s desperate grandmother hangs from her front porch and the floating creature that acts as a nightlight for Arthur, Selenia, and Betameche when they go to sleep inside a flower). The film’s live-action scenes have a splendiferous cartoon wonder about them, just as the cartoon elements are remarkably lifelike, meaning the story’s real and fantasy realms immaculately blend into one another. When body, spirit, and soul come together, Arthur is shrunk to a pint-sized version of himself, entering the cartoon world of the Minimoys to defeat the evil M (David Bowie) with the help of Princess Selenia (Madonna), two days shy of her millennium birthday, and her little brother Betameche (Jimmy Fallon). A Shakespeare quote is the first of many clues that will lead Arthur to a telescope-cum-portal whose lenses represent a holy trinity of promise. The breathless staccato editing does not allow for very many pauses between dialogue and a character’s thought and subsequent action, mirroring the breathless quest of a lonely young boy, Arthur (Freddie Highmore), to save his grandmother’s house by finding the miniature land of the Minimoys his missing grandfather warmly charted in vivid water colors throughout the pages of his journals. The film’s running time-snipped from a reported 103-points to Harvey Weinstein, but the message of this spiritual-minded animation never feels compromised. At the very least, Atari may have a game out there that'll attract the girl crowd without resorting to pink boxes on the shelves.Luc Besson’s Arthur and the Invisibles clears the smog left behind by the year’s dubious family entertainments. The game's turning out decently on the handheld, even if it's simply treading familiar territory in a new universe. It still looks pretty nice, just don't expect the same extravagant imagery or the console versions.
#Athur and the invisibles portable
The console team's definitely pushing some really stunning 3D work on the PlayStation 2, but for the portable game much of the graphics are hand drawn or pre-rendered sprites and backgrounds. The Nintendo DS version of Arthur and the Invisibles took a more conservative approach to visual presentation on the handheld. This portion of the game seems to give the Nintendo DS game a more "female" flavor, what with the cuteness overload of these virtual pets.

And by linking up DS systems wirelessly you can have your creature visit other friends' mul muls. By petting it, feeding it, and cleaning up after it after it poops, your critter will grow up bigger, stronger, and happier. Complete enough of these challenges and you'll unlock hidden treats that can be used in the other portion of Arthur and the Invisibles: a virtual pet where you'll grow and raise your very own "mul mul" cotton ball creature. Atari promises more than 90 mini-games when the game wraps up production for its release in January, just in time for the film's release. Even the microphone comes into play, where players will have to blow into the system to get one of the cute cotton-ball characters from the bottom screen to the top one. They'll have to guide a falling Arthur onto platforms by stretching out the platforms for him using the stylus. Players will have to rapidly tap a mosquito's backside to outrace another critter on the upperscreen. Many of the challenges are based upon similar mini-games from Wario Ware Touched, but with a Minimoy theme. The game allows players to relive the fantastic adventure of Arthur and his two friends, Selenia and Btamche, in their mission to save the Minimoys’ world from destruction. The design team doesn't hide the fact that the Arthur and the Invisibles has Wario Ware to thank for much of the product's inspiration. Arthur and the Invisibles (known in Europe as Arthur and the Minimoys) is a video game based on the 2006 film of the same name by Luc Besson. Though the console developers are credited for the DS design, it seems that Neko Entertainment has its hand in this handheld rendition. The Nintendo DS version, however, approaches the franchise differently, giving players mini-game challenges in the rapid-fire style of Nintendo's Wario Ware series. The console game takes on the story arc of the upcoming film in an epic action adventure.
