Reel Steel is a new video redempton game from ICE.
A licensed movie theme from Dreamworks, the game is designed for the five to 12 age group and consists of 3D images of robots which ‘box’ the player. The front of the dedicated cabinet is surmounted by a ‘fist’ which the player pulls back and releases as the image of the opponent robot advances.
The player has three attempts to knock out his opponent as he weaves in front of the image on the screen. “It’s an interactive game which lasts well over a minute,” said Gene Brogowski from ICE. “It gives good entertainment value and the player feels as though he has had his money’s worth, especially if he is quick and strikes while the image flickers to demand a reaction.” There are several characters to choose between in the game and a ‘robot bonus’ which involves the ‘biggest, baddest robot of them al”
The game will ship around the end of April.
