Halfbrick Echoes is a game released by Halfbrick Studios in Australia. It is now available for two platforms, both X-box 360 Arcade and as a PSP Mini. This highly addictive game with a unique game play comes at a cheap price and keeps making me turn on my psp for more fun.
In the game, one plays as a young girl named 'Charlie' who collects crystals throughout various artistic levels. After a crystal is collected, an 'Echo' appears, following the footsteps of the Character. The game is played from a top-down viewpoint where you use the analog (or D-pad) to maneuver your character away from enemies and towards the crystals. After the game is completed, the game allows the player to replay each level to shave seconds of your high score.
Halbrick Studios did an excellent job in the development of Echoes. The game sports a multitude of levels, different game modes, online leader boards (through X-Box Live), and a game that provides a unique gaming experience. I highly suggest purchasing this game for any person that enjoys an interesting game with a unique gaming experience.
