Vib Ribbon sounding good for PlayStation
Variations in sound cause the fabric of the Vib Ribbon to change its shape, creating obstacles that Vibri must avoid.
London, April 2000 - Due to its phenomenal success in Japan and unprecedented consumer demand, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is delighted to announce the release of Vib Ribbon across PAL Territories.
Bought to you by ace designer Masaya Matsuura, creator of kitsch classics PaRappa the Rapper and Um Jammer Lammy, Vib Ribbon is a truly unique gaming concept in which Vibri the dancing rabbit takes the stage in this black and white creation of graphical simplicity.
As Vibri hops, skips, and jumps his way along an infinitely long line – the ‘Vib Ribbon’ – he listens to music which helps him keep moving. Variations in sound cause the fabric of the Vib Ribbon to change its shape, creating obstacles that Vibri must avoid.
The Ribbon presents four separate types of obstacle: the block, the pit, the jagged line, and the loop. Vibri can avoid these with a well-timed press of one of only 4 buttons. As the musical tempo shifts, so does the rate at which the obstacles appear, keeping Vibri on his two-dimensional toes. On more technically complex songs, the different obstacles combine creating shapes such as jagged loops. After successfully passing a series of obstacles Vibri ‘evolves’ to a higher, winged form. Too many mistakes cause the line to start wobbling and Vibri ‘devolves’ into a lower form of life, until the final devolution – death. . .
To bring out the very best Vib Ribbon has to offer, the game features six songs from the Japanese stars ‘Laugh and Beats’ with tempos and sounds designed to test Vibri’s skills to their limits.
Uniquely, this is a title in which the gamer sets the limits, by creating new levels with their own music CDs. Insert a CD into your PlayStation and allow Vib Ribbon to work its magic, devising a level that matches the tempo and tone of the music. Stroll along to smooth jazz, struggle through a rock-and-roll strewn obstacle course, or even brave the pace of house music!
From the Chemical Brothers to The Back Street Boys. . . from Britney Spears to Macy Gray. . . Vib Ribbon is as cool as the music you put in your Playstation!
