Novastrike dev unveils XBLA game News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

Co-op adventure fugitive chaser.

Novastrike developer Tiki Games has whipped the table-cloth off a brand new Xbox Live Arcade game called Interpol.

This little chestnut costs 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) and will be out sometime this winter - probably sometime after Father Christmas has visited. Excited.

Interpol pits the authorities against nasty fugitive Dr. Chaos, who's not to be confused with that other man on the run, Dr. Kimble. The idea is to pick apart exotic locales gathering clues until you can bring him and his cronies to justice.

This is done in an adventure-game fashion: rooms or scenes are presented in front of the player and evidence is searched for within them. More cerebral than reactive, we suppose.

And the best bit, apparently, will be doing this with up to three friends on Xbox Live.

Sounds intriguing, even if PSN offering Novastrike fell a bit flat, according to Metacritic.

Head over to our Interpol gallery for the first spattering of images.

reminds me of the old carmen sandiago games - could be good and'll be a nice change of pace for xbla, but I'm not 100% convinced

Assuming it hasn't changed since I played it a few months back, you're not really looking for clues. The game just asks you to find random objects in the cluttered scenery - so you might have to spot three hats, a fork and a radar dish for no apparent reason.

If it's as "good" as novastrike then anything above 400 MS points is huge risk of losing cash

"The game just asks you to find random objects in the cluttered scenery - so you might have to spot three hats, a fork and a radar dish for no apparent reason. "

There is a boardgame like that (and quite good actually). The name escapes me. Very fun as a social game, not sure if this would work online.

It looks exactly like a Big Fish game I played a few months ago. As DanWhitehead says, it just asks you to look for some random objects hidden within the picture. Fun for about 2 minutes but that's about it.

What, like Where's Waldo's Hat? Sounds terrible.

It's a Hidden Object Game - a really popular PC casual genre that gets really old really fast.

Dizzy, the boardgame you're thinking of is "Pictureka!".
