    I'm supposing the makers try to keep the game true relative to the story, so obviously there will be like a 3 mile minimum walking tracker before anything happens.

    If they did a LOTR version it would need to use real swords... Now! That would be interesting!

    Lol yes, use navigation to get to nearest volcano (which for me would take awhile), then throw phone in it.

    Sound like this game is gonna be both healthy AND educational :p

    Yes the first one takes place during the third crusade and you get to visit and explore those cities :D
    Second takes place in Renaissance Italy.

    Green Ghost was cool. Little ghosts glowed in the dark.

    They were of the larger sort, I probably would have bounced right off.

    What this whole thing really speaks volumes of is the future and other advancements in augmented reality type of technology. The possibilities are endless.

    I'll take that as a compliment. There are worse things out there than Jews. Germans, per example.

    I finally got a glimpse of the game! I can definitely see what all the fuss is about. From what I could tell, seems pretty immersive, particularly for a cell phone game.

    Now that I've seen it and think about it... I'm not sure Star Wars, LOTR versions and the like would be as effective as games. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are plenty of followers of those series that would gobble up pretty much anything that comes out but with those stories, the galaxies and lands far, far away are integral components to the stories and that aspect would be completely removed from the Augmented Reality approach. Those games might be better suited for Virtual Reality.
