I loved this game. However, it is very short. Five hours, maybe. There are a number of things to unlock, so replay might be good. There are also variations on the main game (a section called "Memories" where you can play all of the games in the main story for much longer sessions) that really add hours, though it seems like that would get old, fast. Even with all of that, the impression I get is that the game is too short. Then again, Warioware was also very short. I think if you like Warioware, you'll like Feel the Magic.
It has just the right sense of "weird" to it. Here's the story: You spot a girl and love her, then try to get her attention. A group of performance artists in bunny ears decide to follow you around and help you. You clean her, yell at her over an orchestra and stop some rampaging bulls. OF course, once you do get her attention, a man with a lizard mohawk steals her. Only people hurled from a moving vehicle will stop him. Naturally, you wind up on a deserted island. You dance and find her lost bling. Eventually, of course, you use cats to get into a warehouse. Oh, and you may be in a bad movie.
If the game wasn't so short and odd (clearly not for everyone), I would say it's the best DS launch game available. Mario takes that award just for accessability. But for originality and best use of the touch screen, Feel the Magic takes the goldfish in the stomach. Rub it!
