TPG says, "Dance-Off. Battle Game. If ever there were two words that went together, these are not them. Now add a third: RPG. Confused? So was I when I received this little gem in the mail the other day.
Some would call this a bold attempt to build an RPG from atypical elements, including rhythm-based gameplay, complete stylus control and…well, a cute yet deep story line is fairly standard for RPGs."
From Atlanta Video Game News Examiner:
"Halloween is past and Thanksgiving is fast approaching. That means it is time to start planning for your holiday shopping. One of the biggest problems when shopping for gamers is making sure that you buy a quality game that they will enjoy. There's nothing worse than getting a game for someone and finding out that it is buggy, has bad controls, or just isn't fun at all. So, we've come up with the best bets of recent releases for the two major hand-held platforms (Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP) for the 2009 holiday shopping season. We've broken it down not just by hand-helds but by genres as well. So click through on the links below for the hand-held and genre you'll be shopping for this year."
John Tucker writes "In any genre of games, there are some entries that appeal to the masses, some that only hardcore fans have the background to enjoy, and some that are intended to bring in new fans. Many times, these last efforts are geared at younger players, and that makes sense. Zubo is clearly one of these "gateway" games, intended to bring younger players into the fold of RPG fans, and I was actually surprised to see it come out of EA."
SV:
Zubo is a music-based rhythm action game featuring a likeable set of characters. Players enter the world of Zubalon to help its inhabitants, the Zubos, defeat an evil force bent on world domination. Players befriend the Zubos they meet along the way. You will feed and nurture them, help them gain skills and strength, and assist them in their battles with the enemy, the Zombos.
This looks like a very, very, interesting game
Only The Portable Gamer can pull off phrases like "gender heterogeneity"
Ah, yeah, if that screen shot is indicative of the game, I'll pass. It's creeping me out.
So what genre would this fall under??
