Vib Ripple Shows Photographic Memory Skills

Thanks to IGN PS2 for its hands-on analysis of Japanese PlayStation 2 title Vib Ripple, the latest in the series from cult developer NanaOn-Sha, creators of Parappa The Rapper and Vib Ribbon. According to the article, "Stages take place in square arenas, with a center 'mat' that's textured with a picture. Your goal is to find all the Peta Characters hidden in the picture... [you must] search for a clump of color in the picture corresponding to the size and color indicated in the [Peta] character's icon [on the side of the screen]." It's also explained: "By connecting a digital camera to your PlayStation 2, you can use personal pictures as the basis for new stages. The game automatically places Peta Characters appropriately about the picture." 1UP has an earlier preview of this title, which is out now in Japan (with Western release as yet unconfirmed), and was previously mentioned on Slashdot Games.
