T:SCC Ambush, a location-based MMORPG
|
|
|
FOX Broadcasting has launched a web and iPhone-based game called Ambush (App Store)
that ties to its TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Ambush is a simplistic MMORPG that places
the player in a virtual city and relies upon real-time iPhone GPS location information to track players within
the game world.
The player must create an account at the web-based game site TerminatorAmbush.com
and choose to play as either a Human or a Terminator. The player's mission is simply to survive in a fight to either
protect or eliminate Skynet, the self-aware computer network bent on destroying the world.
Ambush can be played either online or on the iPhone. The online player's goal is to predict the movements of their
targets in the virtual city and set traps in an attempt to terminate their iPhone opponents. The iPhone player's
goal is to survive within this virtual city by sending real-time GPS location information and avoiding traps set
by their online opponents.
The website's rules listing adds clarity to the gameplay:
- Welcome to Skynet. Your goal is to earn as many points as possible by setting traps to terminate your
iPhone opponents.
- Each icon on this map represents an iPhone player. Red for Machines, White for Humans. Select an opponent
from the map.
- Your opponent's last 5 locations are displayed on the map. This path is based on the real movement of the
iPhone player as he sends his location in real time.
- If you wish to track this player you may add them to your Targets.
- Your goal is to terminate your target by setting a trap in the location where you think your target will
appear next.
- Your trap is set. You will now wait for your target's next move.
- You may reset your trap at any time or leave your trap where it is if you are certain your target will
move to that location.
- You can track up to 5 targets at a time.
- A player's activity refers to how often they set their locations. A player's level is a reflection of
their score.

Ambush (App Store)
appeared today as a free download in the iTunes App Store. Obviously as more iPhone players jump onboard gameplay in
the game's virtual world will become more active than it is, here on day one.
Ed.note:
This application does not work outside the US. We also tried to register for the online version, but the
registration form does not accept 'outsiders'. Soo... sorry folks, us 'non-US' are left out again. Might need a proxy
to check the site or whatever... but the Flash intro in itself is also nice to look at.
For all those that DID get in... tell us some more on our forums!
