We fulfill our life long dream of being the Terminator and happily make a fool of ourselves in the process.
While the original Yoostar was a somewhat niche PC only title, developer Blitz game studios are aiming for a wider audience with Kinect and Move support for the sequel Yoostar2. While the idea of a karaoke movie game may seem a little strange, in practice it's incredibly amusing, if sometimes embarrassing.
"I'll be back."
The game works like this; you are challenged to re-enact a famous scene from a classic Hollywood movie. There are over 60 movies to choose from, ranging from classics such as Casablanca, through to more modern films such as The Matrix and Terminator. Once you've picked a scene to act out, you're given a chance to watch it in its entirety to learn the lines and movements. You can choose which actor from the scene you wish to be, with two people able to play as different characters. Once you're ready, you're asked to stand between dotted lines on the screen, after which the scene starts.
Instead of seeing the original actor in the frame, you are superimposed in his or her place. Your lines are shown at the top of the screen, along with a typical karaoke-style bouncing ball to guide you. After demonstrating your brilliant acting skills, the game applies a number of effects to match the recording of with that of the movie, which is then played back to you. The results are often hilarious, with our attempt at the famous 'I'll be back' scene from The Terminator being particularly cringe-worthy.
Yoostar2 will be released later this year on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, note the full review in the near future.
