My store just got this stuff in. It's supposed to "Unlock the Potential of Your TV" with its absurdly expensive games. It's basically a really expensive version of those Radicaa things that are advertised on TV all the time. I don't get it. Anyone heard of this? Is it teh Ph4nt0m?
Welcome to a new reality.
Looks crap.
Pretty snazzy web-site for something so limited in function.
That wireless bowling ball is quite spiffy, however.
Wow, that baseball demo was sure fun and informative.

the end. I'll take 2.
I saw these at Best Buy the other day...
...
Yeah... I'll bet five bucks they're on clearence right after their Christmas hopes are crushed.
It's the same hardware (albeit in a different form) that was used to make that Dragon Quest sword game in Japan. If that somehow got localized for this machine, I'd actually be very interested in this, just to play Dragon Quest.
Yeah, there's a little Xavix logo at the beginning of the game, and printed on the ropey thing on the sword.Quote:

It's pretty much a rail shooter but with a sword, like the game Konami made a while back. The tracking of the sword is limited to 8 directions of straight lines (no curved slices etc), but it tracks the hits all over the screen. The game itself has a lot of things I didn't expect of it; juggle combos, a hit counter, an experience system, memory card saving (it uses a little book-shaped card) a two-player mode (requires two memory cards, so I never bothered), and so on. The potential is there to make a couple of good novelty games. Somehow I doubt it though.
XaviX is a fun and exciting game... its 10 times better then that stupid Eye toy. The graphics isn't the greatest but the game play makes it worth it..
I played a demo of the tennis game in BB. I don't know if their controllers were broken or what, but it was the worst motion-tracking based game experience I have ever had. Ever. It's awful. Try before you buy.
And like the n00b said...it's FUGLY.
