    As its designer says, Invizimals is about bringing back your inner child spirit. And the game clearly has that special touch, that we could define as 'magic'.

    InviZimals is a sort of monster collection game just like Pokémon, but in this game you have to find the monsters with de PSP GO!Cam in your room, kitchen or garden. The monsters are everywhere and once you've collected them you can train them and let them battle against other monsters.

    It's a fighter that also satisfies your OCD side. [Christmas 2009, p.112]

    As it sits now though, the bigger question in the end is whether it's fun or not. In short bursts, the answer is certainly yes, especially for the pre-teen set. But, if you are looking to spend hours living the mantra "gotta catch them all", then Invizimals is one catch you'll want to let back into the wild.

    While Invizimals' technology can't quite deliver on its ambition, it works enough of the time avoid condemnation. The real issue is the restrictiveness of the mission structure and ultimate lack of real depth to the critter combat.

    Invizimals is a great idea perhaps realised too soon. It never feels as cohesive as it should due to technology limitations, and for that reason it's hard to promote it as a well constructed gaming experience. But we'd sure love to see a sequel that irons out the bugs.

    Invizimals really wants to be Pokémon, but takes away everything that was great about it.

    Very innovative gameplay modes. A truly unique experience, using the psp as it had an accelerometer or inclinometer is quite surprising. The Very innovative gameplay modes.

The combat is deeper than it seems at the beginning, as it becomes more complex as you keep playing. Overall a great new experience, you should have seen the face of my children.… Expand
