Toys and Games Reviews of ConsoleHyperscan Video Game System
Customer Review: Decent console and controller for kids.
Summary: 3 Stars
The console itself is an interesting design you have to scan cards to do certain things through out the games you play. Poor design for anybody 10+ years old. Great for younger kids though. The controller isn't to bad but it isn't great.
Description of ConsoleHyperscan Video Game System
HyperScan is the first gaming system that combines card collecting and video gaming. Scan your cards and your favorite characters come to life on your TV screen. During game play, you can pause and scan Modification Cards to enhance your combat offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as special abilities. When victory is yours, re-scan and your new powers are upgraded onto your card for use in future conflicts! Advanced 32-bit processor provides excellent graphics, speed and sound - for sophisticated, quality play.HyperScan requires a TV and CD-ROM (not included) and is portable enough to take from place to place. This special set includes HyperScan console and X-Men Game Pack (with CD and cards).
Other game packs sold separately. Game packs contain a game CD and about 100 game cards; 10-20 Character Cards and the rest Modification Cards - with at least 20 hours of play on each Character Card. Cards in game packs will be available based on a rarity scheme, meaning that players won't know what cards they're getting in their game packs, making them collectible.
HyperScan is the combination of two pursuits big among today's kids: video games and collectable cards. The system takes the novel approach of actually incorporating the cards as assets in the video game through the use of IntelliCards, trading cards with tiny RFID chips buried inside that can send information to, and sometimes receive info from, the HyperScan console. In the included X-Men 2-D fighting game, players select their character by swiping one of the included character cards over the flashing red scanner built into the console's clamshell design, much the way a grocer would scan a can of beans. Should the player win the battle, their character is rewarded with increased experience, strength points, and other stats that are then transferred back onto the card with another scan. Players can get deeper into a game by using other cards to add attacks, level up other X-Men characters, and execute cool finishing moves. The system's graphics aren't much to write home about--think original PlayStation--but they're in line with the system's price when you consider that the first game is included. The cards feature full-color graphics of the characters or items they represent, along with beginning stats--updated stats are viewed only on the console. HyperScan makes a good system for avid card traders provided they have access to other HyperScan players. By itself, though, HyperScan is not much of a system. The console comes with one controller (but has ports for two), X-Men game, six X-Men cards, AC power pack, AV connection cables, and instructions. --Porter B. Hall
