Let’s face it. Gaming has taken a huge leap in the last decade or so. More so than the last few decades put together.
I recently got a game for the PSP called “Invizimals.”
In this game, you play as an Invizimal Hunter, dragged into a power struggle with no explanation whatsoever. There you were, minding your own business when suddenly, your mentor finds himself in an Indian prison.
No, you don’t get to bust him out, but you do get to run around your room chasing invisible, super-powered creatures.
Confused? So am I.
Let’s start from the beginning. What is an Invizimal?
Game:
Invizimals are invisible creatures made up of pure energy. they live in our world, and are attracted to auras. Being made up of energy and invisible at the same time, they are very useful as stealth tools of war. That is what the main villain of the game wants to do.
IRL:
Invizimals are Augmented Reality programs spawned by the awesome combination of a PSP’s power and a PSP camera.
Gameplay wise, it’s a bit like Pokemon because you need to hunt down and capture / collect them all. Even the battle style and battle system is kinda like Pokemon, as well. you have 4 attacks and each attack has its own element.
So, what’s so different about this game?
You get to interact with your little pet in ways that Pokemon could only dream of.
Here’s a little pic for you guys. My little Zaphyra is playing around on my desk.
She’s begging you to scratch her tummy!
So, til next time, this is Nikko, signing out!
