Wandering around Weston -Super Mare last week my friends and I stumbled into the nearby arcade on the pie (surprise surprise). After the usual air hockey and shooting galleries I spotted ‘Police 24/7′ in the corner and my mind raced back to an article I read years ago of this arcade cabinet being realised in Japan. The special part of this game is that it uses sensors to actual map your movements onscreen. Admittedly this is basically just used to allow you to crouch or move left and right to take cover, but it really brought me into the game. A lot has been made of the Wii’s motion sensing but I really think this sort of tracking has a lot more potential in it- or at least should be added as a part of other motion sensing concepts.
Unfortunately I only last around 5 minute before I was taken out by some cheating AI..seriously its the only plausible way i got shot…
