Intuitive Gaming On The iPhone

by Dan Gould

Sega has developed a unique version of it’s “Super Monkey Ball” game for the iPhone. The action is controlled solely by the built in motion sensors. You tilt the device back and forth to move a ball through a series of obstacles. The beauty of this interface is in it’s simplicity. The use of physical motions as opposed to buttons, makes it so natural that anyone could pick up the game and know right away how to play it.

    Despite having a life, I lined up in Camden overnight to secure my purple GameCube and copy of Super Monkey Ball.

    It’s a peculiar form of torture.

    Expect the air to turn blue on subways around the world when this is released.

    I can’t wait :)
