Virtual Impact
-
Version
1.1
Virtual Impact is a hot new 3D Windows based PC game.
VI is outside the box from other sims. One could say
it is a cross between a sports and a space combat
game. The player uses a ship to maneuver a cue ball
through 3D space by firing small balls at cue ball.
The ship is called an impactor. The user tries to take
control of the ball and knock it into various targets,
which are guarded by drones. The drones protect these
targets the way a goalie in soccer defends his goal
from the opposing players.
Virtual Impact is an artificial reality that runs on
top of your reality. You access this reality from your
terminal screen and cause chaos in this causal
universe. The physical laws in this universe are
slightly different from your world, which adds a nice
twist to the experience.
During game play, drones will try to steal the cue
ball. The user starts out with three cue balls, and
the game ends then the user runs out of balls. There
is no way to shoot at the drones, just as in soccer,
the players don't shoot the goalie, nor does the
goalie fire back. The game is about controlling the
ball.
Targets consist of clusters of many elements that
react when the cue ball collides with them. The
behavior of these elements is controlled by realistic
physics modeling, giving the user a rewarding
experience. It is common for many objects to move on
the screen in response to simple actions performed by
the user. This provides eye candy and intense thrills
to the user.
The demo comes with a tutorial and an arcade-style
game, along with previews of the campaign missions and
instant action worlds. The paid version has five
campaigns and three instant action worlds.
