GAME WIRE: NAMCO BANDAI Games' "Eureka Seven Vol. 1: The New Wave" Highlights LFO

Based on the anime series running on Cartoon Networks' popular adult swim line-up, "Eureka Seven Vol 1: The New Wave TM " for the PlayStation ® 2 computer entertainment system is a combat adventure featuring lithe, adaptable mecha called LFOs (Light Finding Operation).

LFOs can transform into two modes -humanoid and vehicle form - depending on the combat situation. Additionally, LFOs can ride on a board in the air called a ref-board. Humanoid form of the LFO might afford mobility and versatility, but it's more prone to attacks due to its extended height and consumes more energy than the vehicle mode, which offers faster speed and lower profile. These LFO also can ride on the truly unique ref-board, which allows the LFO to harness transparent energy called "trapars," invisible light particles that provides lift for aerial travel. While on ref-boards, LFOs can surf trapars, executing tricks to disrupt opponents while using the LFOs regular arsenal of melee and ranged weapons.

"Eureka Seven Vol. 1: The New Wave" offers a variety of gameplay modes as the gamer can switch from playing the character and controlling the LFOs. With customizable load outs, this upcoming title guarantees an intriguing storyline and exciting combat in an unforgettable sci-fi world.
