TotemBall now available

When you open up the Xbox Live Marketplace and head to the new downloads section you’ll notice TomtemBall has finally arrived after a small delay. It is the first arcade game that requires you to have a camera. Unfortunately for a lot of people, the camera hasn’t been released yet in most parts of the world .

TotemBall is free of charge and will remain to be free, unlike Texas Hold ‘Em. The game will however eat up 40.01MB of Hard Drive or Memorycard space. Due to lack of the camera, I can’t really tell you how the game works or what you’re supposed to do. The only thing I do know is that you’re supposed to use your camera to navigate through the playground.

The members of the ancient Ptolmec tribe compose striking and innovative music in TotemBall. When they simultaneously discover gunpowder and barbeque, the explosive results scatter their musical totems across the breadth of the jungle!

Now Pterry the Pturtle must roll across mountains, islands, bridges, and through giant pinball games to retrieve the lost totems and bring the groovy Ptolmec music back to the party. Using your Xbox LiveĀ® Vision camera, help Pterry recover all the musical totems while moving to the totem beat.

  • Move: Control Pterry through this musical platforming adventure using your Xbox Live Vision camera.
  • Cooperate: Join in with a friend to juggle your totem collection using the camera and a controller.
  • Roam: Use Free Play mode to practice and explore environments without affecting your progress.
  • Groove: Sway to the sounds of the music generated in-game by you!

Feel free to tell us how you experience this game and if it’s worth buying a camera for.

camera*

Can we expect more “cemera required” games do you think? Hadn’t intended to buy the camera but might need to re-think.

sabre, dont be the fool who goes out and buy a camera just because of totemball. this camera is much better without it. find another reason to buy it, it wont be hard. this game is absolute shit

Yeah, I wasn’t necessarily talking about this game but whether or not it was a sign of things to come.

I’ve got the camera, and this is free, so of course I’ll give this a go.

yeah Ive had the camera for awhile now, the camera is ACE!! but Totemballbags is hard to move around.

So does this work any better than EyeToy: Antigrav on the PS2? Because that hurt. Lots.

I like on the XBLM description: There are no refunds for this item. So, if you don’t like it, they won’t give you your money back…
