Rating Summary

The premise behind this adventure game is that small invisible creatures exist in color-spectrum wavelengths that can be detected, interacted with by using—the Sony PSP camera. Thus players capture invisible creatures called "invizimals" to use them in battles against other invizimals in tournament-style matches. Capturing invizimals means shooting them with fireballs, luring them into the PSP camera, surrounding them with flames; Fighting means that the little fantasy creatures use elemental (fire, wind, ice, etc.) and physical attacks to defeat their animated opponents. Invizimals can "claw-slash," spit fire, shoot spikes, or use toxic flatulence to inflict damage. One creature (Flameclaw) stabs itself with its stinger if it loses a match; another creature (Skysaur) shoots projectiles from its rear end; and the Bongorilla invizimal picks its nose and wipes its boogers on the ground. The game contains live-action cutscenes in which real actors sometimes push and shove each other; the scenes are often dramatic and may include frequent references to kidnapping, or discussions about "weaponizing" the invizimals.
