Phone reception in Japan is exceedingly poor but the
phones the Japanese get to play with are ridiculous powerful. This latest phone released by Vodafone in Japan has a built
in motion sensor allowing users to control the phone by waving it around in the air. Pre installed on the handset is ‘House of the
Dead Mobile’, a first person shooter type game in which players can pan around
in the 3d environment by waving the phone left, right up and down.
I spent about 10 minutes playing ‘House of the Dead Mobile’ and found myself dizzy from spinning around in circles and waving my hands up and down like a lunatic. This has definitely got to rival Nintendo’s DS for innovation to gaming mechanics. Now just imagine a train full of Japanese commuters spinning around in circles shooting at virtual zombies!
