Platform: 3DS
Session fun rating: 8/10
Once every blue moon, there is a game that does something unique with the hardware it was programmed on. Fractured Soul is one of those games. Taking full advantage of the 3DS's two screens, the game offers challenging platforming that plays on BOTH screens at once. The main character, a space marine or some sort, can only be active in one of the two screens at once and becomes a hologram on the inactive one. The levels are built in such a way that switching between the two worlds quickly is required for success. For example, I jumped from a ladder, switched screens, and landed on a platform only available on the second screen.
Honestly, it works really well and can be very difficult to do well at times, forcing your brain to be very active and to look at both screens quickly. I made it through the four level demo and enjoyed it quite a bit.
