Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» Five
wee devils are rolling on dice - walk and rotate the
dice so that the numbers match each other in
contiguous rows to sink them from the screen. For
example, two die that have 2 on their faces that
touch will start to descend. If you quickly roll
other dice with 2s on top to touch the descending
die, they'll also descend and so on and so forth.
With proper planning and quick maneuvering, it's
possible to create multiple chains that span the
length of the screen. To force die with faces of
three to descend, roll at least three threes
together and the trigger is set for dice descent. To
shove a die instead of rolling it over and flipping
the numbers, leap onto the floor and then push the
dice so that the face on top stays the same.
In the BATTLE mode of the game, 1P may face off against a COM
controlled competitor. Once a game starts, the
devils drift down from the top of the screen and
alight on a die with one pointed leg. To move dice,
waddle over them completely and they'll roll in the
direction of movement. For example, if a dice has
"4" on top and one red dot pointed towards the
southwest, walking over the dice to the northeast
will rotate the dice so that the red dot faces up.
When you're stepping and rolling the dice, a
representation of the dice is shown underneath your
profile bar on the upper left corner of the screen.
When the call of competition sounds, up to five
players may connect in the WARS mode via Ad Hoc mode
to complete in dice matching action as well as
mini-games that are unlocked by connecting to Sony's
website and downloading tickets.
NCS Game Notes
» In the WARS mode of the game, five devils
engage as follows:
Rossi / Red Lil devil
Azul / Blue lil' devil
Verde / Green lil' devil
Momo / Pink lil' devil
Huang / Yellow devil
» All of the lil' devils have a coil of hair
that swings over their foreheads and deep black eyes
that seem almost hollow. As the little imps complete
more stages, they'll transform from hellions to
angels complete with wings and halos. When five
players are connected via Ad Hoc mode and all
stepping on dice at once, it gets a little hectic
but massive combos may be created by cooperative
teams.
» The PSP version of XI Colosseum is based on
the PS1 XIGO game with 4 modes ranging from standard
1-player TRIAL mode to the madcap 5-player WARS
mode. All 100 stages from the original XI game along
with 250 stages from the mobile phone edition are
included in the game.
» Along with the multi-player WARS mode,
there's also two other multiplayer modes - TRIAL
which features a Standard and Limited submode. In
Standard, players compete to become the first Bomber
to achieve the 100th rank while Limited chooses the
winner by whoever scores the most in 3 minutes.
There's also BATTLE mode which pit 2 players against
each other to create the most combinations in the
span of 3 minutes.
» For added fun, 15 mini-games may be
unlocked by downloading tickets from Sony's website.
Mini-games include Colobowl (bowling), Mahjong, and
Card Games. Similar to I.Q. Mania and Bomberman,
playable demos of the other two games in the MAX
GAMES releases for this week are included on the XI
Colosseum UMD.
