Zubo is a new role playing/adventure game (also known as RPG by the gamers) from Electronic Arts.  Suitable for ages 7 and up, Zubo combines rhythm and dexterity to form an action packed adventure that will lead you through ten lands with 50 various Zubo’s to recruit along the way.

Action in Zubo is turn-based, with your team of up to three Zubos facing off against an AI or human-controlled team in multiplayer, of three Zubos. Each Zubo on your team begins the game with a particular set of battle moves. Most of these can be learned by any Zubo, but each character also possesses a unique move that can only be used by that character, making the strategy of the makeup of your team important as the game progresses. Executing battle moves is where the rhythm aspects of Zubo come into play.

As a player begins a move an outline appears around the active Zubo which moves in tandem with the in-game music. As this outline meets the Zubo’s body the player taps out the rhythm with the stylus to execute the move. More powerful moves require more complex use of the stylus, increasing the difficulty of the game as times goes on. With over 100 fully animated comedy battle moves, 10 areas with Zubalon to explore, plus a wealth of interactions and mini-games, Zubo offers a deeply rewarding Nintendo DS experience. This stylus-tapping adventure promises hours of entertainment kids (and adults) are sure to love.
