    Don't think AR gaming can be enjoyable? Let PulzAR prove you wrong with its brilliant table-top puzzling.

    Surely, games like PulzAR aren't game changers, but they do show off the ability of the PS Vita in a way that other launched games don't really do.

    A perfect example of how to improve an interesting idea with new features, without forcing the user to them. This puzzle game is a bit limited by the amount of content it has, with few modes and no multiplayer. It is a shame this lack of ambition, but it is still the best AR game in the PSVITA at a very affordable price.

    PulzAR is a good puzzle game. Despite some minor technical problem, thanks to AR, it will entertain gamers curious to test this new feature.

    PulzAR is Exient's take on the laser reflection game and utilizes the Vita's AR Cards to help redirect lasers to specified targets, using splitters, color filters, and reflectors. The ultimate goal is to light up the colored targets to destroy a huge asteroid making its way to earth. I must say, it truly does add to the suspense as there is a time limit to each level. As time passes the asteroid rains meteors and debris onto the playing field. The game play works very well and in my opinion is the best AR game to date for the Vita. There can be issues at times when placing AR cards on the field if they brush against one another, which can cause the AR scene to be thrown off, forcing you to reposition everything. But for the most part (so far) in my 40-60 minutes with the game these were minor issues.

    The game is available for $1.99 and it is worth every penny. There IS a trophy list for you trophy hunters but no platinum.    … Collapse

    This is a cheap game and considering how much you "bang for your buck" you get you cant beat it. At times it has its quirks, for example when you place another AR card down if you accidentally touch or cover one of the other placed cards the whole screen flips out and becomes a little misplaced which could be frustrating. Excellent concept. VERY easy to pick up and play. I would highly recommend this even if you typically dont like strategy or puzzle games. It is nice change and shows how great the system AR feature is.… Expand
