The editors liked

  • Interesting technology supported by the PSP Camera
  • Over 100 different Invizimals to capture
  • Lengthy singleplayer mission. Multiplayer offerings are surprisingly robust. Actual combat is engaging
  • Requiring quick reflexes and some degree of strategy.
  • Augmentedreality visuals are impressive when they work properly
  • Some fun capturing minigames
  • Battling has some engaging light strategy
  • Entertaining liveaction scenes.
  • Creative and decent use of video camera technology
  • Appealing to fans of the battle creature (tabletop and video) games and

The editors didn't like

  • Story mode feels like an extended PSP commercial. Gameplay works against the technology by requiring constant movement around the Invizimal trap card
  • Resulting in frequently connection issues. Mission structure feels heavily repetitive and deliberately confined.
  • Many capturing minigames don't always work properly
  • Color and movement demands are frustrating and easy to cheat
  • Graphics often glitch out.
  • Jittery nature of holding such a small camera and one-handed on-screen interactions can make creature capturing rather frustrating. Repetitive gameplay and backbreakingly low camera angles.

  • The battles are surprisingly complicated, and there's a great deal of variation with over 100 Invizimals to collect. The multiplayer options provide it with longevity. It's actually relatively cheap, considering it includes hardware.
  • The camera struggles on occasion to accurately pick up visual clues. The outcome of some challenges appears arbitrary, and this can result in frustration, particularly for the younger generation which it is undeniably aimed at.

  • Abstract:  It's generally accepted that early adopters of technology tend to get somewhat shafted. The reason why we're not all wearing Virtual Reality headsets when we game is that the technology never really caught up with the promise of a fully immersive world...

  • Abstract:  Communism. It's a great theory. Unfortunately, although the idea is great, it just doesn't work in practice. Unlike communism however, Invizimals does have a lot of redeeming features.What are Invizimals? They are animals that you have to capture, trai...

  • Innovative Fangmethoden, Freie Hand bei der Entwicklung, Völlig neues Spielprinzip mit Kamera
  • Musik ist etwas zu kurz geraten, StoryModus wirkt teils unfreiwillig komisch, Farben sind beim Fangen etwas hakelig zu erwischen
  • „InviZimals“ ist der Grund, warum man eine Kamera auf sein PSP-System montieren sollte. So einfach ist das – die Suchtgefahr ist immens hoch, und schon nach dem Testen werden Sie Probleme haben, aufzuhören: Versprochen! Das Spiel nimmt alles, was an „P...

  • Abstract:  Nogle spil skiller sig ud fra mængden. Det kan have forskellige årsager: Fantastisk kvalitet, enestående grafik eller historie, fabelagtig styring eller bare, at spillet er et fænomen i sig selv. Invizimals skilder sig dog ud fra samtlige PSP-spil af h...
