Echochrome 2 ps3 gameplay1/10/2024 ![]() Sometimes the game can really get frustrating so it’s definitely suited for small doses. I’ve only come across a few of the art pieces so far in the game, sometimes two in each stage, so I don’t know if there is some in every level. One of the major attractions to echochrome ii is also moving the light source around and discovering the pieces of Shadow Art within the different stages. The level is only finished after a certain percentage of the blocks are painted, leaving the path to completion completely up to the player. Using three new colored characters, you are required to traverse the shadows to color their corresponding blocks. In this mode, there is no official “exit” to the stage. “Paint” mode is where echochrome ii begins to innovate, rather than merely redesign the former game. “Echo” mode is just like the original echochrome where you must use your shadow to collect various echos across the stage. Depending on the angle of the flashlight, the design of the level, and the player’s own intuition, there can be several different exits in a stage. Exits are created by placing the shadow of a sphere on top of two cube shadows, creating an arching doorway. ![]() By casting the shadows over the environment, you move the character across the room to the exit, possibly one of a few. “Escort” mode is the mode available on the PlayStation Network or PlayStation Move Starter disc and is what you are more familiar with. Not only does the title have one hundred developer-created levels, but along with the nearly limitless amount of user-generated levels, each stage can be played in three different ways. The real meat of echochrome ii comes from the level variety. With this, echochrome ii creates a new level of immersion within the player’s own mind, rather than stemming from the exploration of the environment. Once you accept this fact, the game becomes much more enjoyable. It is designed to slow the player down and play more with strategy and thinking, as opposed to reaction and dependency. But the majority of echochrome ii doesn’t require such incredible subtlety and in fact, if you try to move fast, you might accidentally bump your “shadow” off its block to his demise. Even with the sensitivity turned up high, the light seems to drag across the screen than simultaneously with the movement of the player’s hand. But that much control would probably hamper the game’s approachability. Originally, it seems like something to complain about. While this may seem like a problem, it actually helps with the game’s aesthetic feeling. ![]() You can be completely out of range of the PS Eye’s range of view, such as across a room, and still control the light. The pointer controls as well as the flashlight are controlled solely through the Move’s internal accelerometer. It actually turns out the the PlayStation Eye camera isn’t used at all for the game, it is merely used to record video (more on that later). While the game has been portrayed as shining a flashlight through the television into a virtual room, the reaction time of the game doesn’t feel as true one-to-one as it should be. Echochrome ii was designed to demonstrate the fullest capabilities of the PlayStation Move but, while it doesn’t exactly do that, the game still works very well.
