While Book of Spells led off our Wonderbook announcement at E3 earlier this year, there are plenty more projects in the works for the forthcoming PlayStation 3 augmented reality platform, including Walking With Dinosaurs from the BBC, and an exciting partnership with Disney Interactive Studios. Diggs: Nightcrawler is a little different, however – unlike Book of Spells and Dinosaurs, it’s a brand new IP, promising quirky detective noir with style to spare.
The relatively new accessory from Sony received a new title, Diggs Private Detective. To learn more about the first game for Wonderbook can read our review to the Book of Spells here . So after visiting the Harry Potter universe, we now know Diggs and his adventure detective.
Unlike the Book of Spells, the focus here is more on the book, Wonderbook itself and less on the PlayStation Move controller, Diggs much closer to an interactive book that previous title. The target audience is still very young, something that is noticed mainly in the difficulty of the game. The public child is who avails the game better, because the lack of difficulty can upset even the older children.
Diggs Nightcrawler is the second title to come to PlayStation 3 that allows the use of the Wonderbook. It's a 'game' filled with fairy tales, guns and puns and mainly aimed at the kids.
Dealspwn writes: Even adults will be captivated by the way Wonderbook brings interactive pop-up scenes into the room. It’s generally for a younger audience, but the high production values and novelty factor may encourage older family member to get off the sofa and have a go too.
