Augmented Reality Defense And Virtual Reality

By Jason Cole


When it comes to war games, virtual reality is now taking on themes which relate to past world events. For example, Front Defense is an augmented reality defense game based on, and puts players in the middle of, World War II. As such, it is important that those planning on playing this game understand that is more graphic and violent than most.

An arcade style game, First Defense is based on the last firefight at the end of World War II. In the game, the Normandy invasion is long over, though the firefights of war have just began. It is at this point that Front Defense puts the player in place as an Allied Forces hero sent to battle in the last attacks by an Axis in a fictional European town.

The game allows the player to hunker down behind various well patrolled and armed positions while reloading weapons, switching, diving and ducking. Weapons in the game's war chest include man-mounted guns, grenades, assault weapons and others. For, players often need all the assistance available when it comes to defeating the enemy.

The developers and designers clearly have knowledge as to the history associated with the war. For, the game reflects the sense of actually being an active member of a military unit during that time. In order to achieve this goal, the designers used battlefield and room scaling to create a number of scenes which are close in comparison to various areas in which these battles took place.

Front Defense is often reported to be one of the most intense, active and realistic games available. For, the intensity and experience of the WWII shooter is the first to use precision tracking and room scaling. As a result, the player has the power to create positions which are more strategic and highlighted when enemy forces take over a European town. While the game is based in actual events, some scenes may be different in architectural style than during World War II.

Other features include being able to use a wide variety and style of weaponry from heavy firearms and grenades to lighter ones. A player can also use dive bombers, tanks and armored cars in an effort to defeat opposing forces. With one of the most dramatic plays being to take on a mysterious Axis super powered weapon during the final minutes of the game, the finale is often considered more than climatic among gamers worldwide.

While first shooter games have been controversial for quite some time, when played as intended, these games can often deter rather than create violent behavior. For, many individuals now use these games as a method of stress release. Still, it is important that those under 18 be supervised and monitored when it comes to playing the game or acting out different scenes.

The specifications of the game are that it is a one player first shooter game with leader boards. It is important before beginning play to note that the game is Windows based and compatible with Windows 7 and later. As the game is a dedicated Windows game, it will not work with other operating systems. In fact, attempting to play the game on anything other than Windows 7 or later operating system could cause irreversible damage to the game and operating system.
