THQ is joining the EyeToy
market and releasing a game based on Nickelodeon characters called Nicktoons
(working title). There weren’t a lot of details, but there will be many
different games (like the EyeToy Play disc) starring famous Nickelodeon
characters.
I played a bit of a SpongeBob
bowling game, and it was a lot of fun. The ball is at the end of a bowling lane,
and you can see yourself in the ball. On either side of you there are arrows
pointing left and right, and a line swings back and forth down the lane.
Wherever it stops is the direction the ball is going to roll, and you have to
rub the arrows in the direction you need to roll the ball to compensate for the
throw. Whichever direction the ball is thrown is random, so you have to be ready
to roll it either way to get a good score.
This game has a lot of promise
seeing as how the EyeToy is so much fun. I had fun playing the bowling game, and
it was only one of many. Check back for more info as it’s released.
