Nino Marchetti • Oct 4, 2006 • Comments ()

Surfacing this week for free on Xbox Live Arcade is TotemBall, which makes use of the new Xbox Live Vision video camera to help you control characters in the game. Feature notes on the game from Microsoft are below:

"With high-definition graphics, Xbox Live Vision camera compatibility, Xbox Live Achievements and Leaderboards, this next-gen title provides hours of fun. The multiple game modes including the following:
TotemBall: With camera-controlled platforming gameplay, control the characters in the game by moving your hands in the air and gesturing in front of the camera.

Juggling: Try the co-op juggling game with one player using Xbox Live Vision and the other player "juggling" totems with the controller.

Pinball: Play any of the bonus pinball tables you've unlocked through regular TotemBall play.

Freeplay: Explore the game with no time pressure and infinite lives—it's a great mode for kids.

Super Challenge: Play the entire game with one life and a time limit in each level.

TotemJam: Freely mix and match the game's musical totems, another fun exploration game for kids.

With hi-def graphics, ten platform levels, three pinball table "village" levels, and multiple hidden bonus areas, the game will keep the whole family entertained. There's also a Free Play mode for non-competitive playtime and practice.

The in-game music is generated by the player, and you'll find gameplay-generated theme tunes for each player on the Leaderboards."
