Smart As, a new mind-sharpening game for PS Vita, will be released this autumn, PlayStation Blog has announced.
Developed independently through Sony’s Xdev Europe, Smart As promises to put your brain to the test with 20 interactive puzzle games.
“Smart As takes full advantage of PS Vita’s touchscreens, cameras and Augmented Reality capabilities to deliver Daily Training challenges featuring fun arithmetic, logic, language and observation-based puzzles,” explained assistant producer Nicolo Accordino. “Your scores from each puzzle are used to calculate your overall Brain Power and anybody at any skill level can get in on the fun. The more you play, the better your chances are of increasing your Brain Power score and unlocking new puzzle games.
“The best part about Smart As is that it’s not just a brain training game; it’s a social experience. Once you’ve earned your daily Brain Power score, you can go online to see how smart you are compared to your friends, people that you’ve met through ‘near,’ players in your city, country, continent and the entire world using the Smart As leaderboards. You can even post your Brain Power scores to Facebook to boast about your cerebral superiority. Using PS Vita’s ‘near’ feature, you can also drop off puzzles for nearby users and pick up new challenges left by other players.”
The game also boasts regional challenges, unlocked when out and about over WiFi or 3G.
