Playing like a cross between PSP classic LocoRoco and the Wii's excellent LostWinds, Soul Bubbles more than merits the comparison to those two great games. While it owes a small debt to the former, it very much feels like its own game. You play as an apprentice spirit herder, tasked with guiding seven precious souls through a series of circuitous levels. As the air is harmful to the spirits, they're encased in a bubble, which you need to blow around – thankfully, not by huffing into the DS mic, but by dragging the stylus across the screen to push it around on a cushion of air. It takes all of five minutes to get used to the fine control needed to get around the various obstacles, while you're given three masks to cut bubbles into smaller pieces to fit through narrow gaps, to deflate larger bubbles or to create new ones which can be joined to your existing bubble or used to pick up water to douse flames blocking your path.
