Sabrina Animated: Zapped - Game Boy Color

After accidentally turning her audience at a school talent show in to a pack of wild animals, Sabrina must scour the halls and classrooms for her former friends-turned-monsters and change them back to their teenage selves again.

Whenever you find such a critter, you must jump on them to stun them, before zapping them with Sabrina magic and turning them back to normal. Once every friend on a level is restored to their former glory, you can move on to the next level and the next set of monsters. Go from school to the beach to the mall to the zoo to make sure you've caught them all. Collect spells to make life easier, health hearts to prolong your lives and power stars to make transforming your friends simpler (you don't have to stun them first). Each level gets progressively more challenging, and on the second level, there's a bonus: one of the monsters is none other than Salem, Sabrina's furry feline friend. Switch between being Sabrina and Salem to get in all the hard-to-reach places.

Simple in concept, this game is strangely addictive. The repetitive nature of the tasks sets itself as a challenge, so that you absolutely have to find those monsters before you finish. Youngsters who are just getting the hang of gaming will love Zapped and though the generic nature of the tasks will appeal to both genders, girls might find this a little more appealing than some of the alternatives on the market thanks to Sabrina's presence.

Great entertainment and good, clean fun for any age of youngster, (the monsters aren't that scary!) fans of the TV show will love to take this game along in their backpack. --Lucie Naylor
