A social brain-training experience will apparently be on offer with Smart As which is slated to launch exclusively for the PS Vita during the fall of this year. Described as a next-gen puzzle offering, this title will be filled with a total of 20 interactive puzzle games.
According to a post on the official PlayStation blog, its social and connective features will enable players to share their stats with other gamers from around the globe. It has been developed by XDev Europe and is claimed to take full advantage of the Vita’s touchscreen, cameras and Augmented Reality capabilities. The Daily Training challenges that have been infused within the title will proffer arithmetic, logic, language and observation-based puzzles. And the scores from each puzzle will be used to calculate the overall Brain Power of gamers.
The social traits of this game revolve around players posting their daily Brain Power scores online in order to compare them with friends and those met through the Vita’s near app, as well as with players from all over the world. Moreover, Brain Power scores will even be available to post on Facebook. Using the near trait of the PS Vita, gamers will be able to deploy puzzles for nearby users and pick up new challenges left by others. Playing the title on the go using the handheld’s Wi-Fi or 3G connectivity will unlock even more challenges in different regions with the Street Smart mode.
Smart As is to release exclusively for the PS Vita during the fall of 2012. Its pricing information is yet to be confirmed.
