The music is centred in the dance genre in regards to the beat with a retro gaming vibe to the melody. The audio consists of exactly what you would expect to hear from a fireworks display with lots of great sound effects as the fireworks are set off and lots of loud explosions when they reach their peak and detonate. The brightness and colours of the fireworks are greatly varied from pretty much every colour of the rainbow and it makes for a great spectacle. The graphics are bright and colourful and beautifully represent exactly what you would anticipate from a fireworks display.

Cards 1, 2 and 3 are used to create individual houses that in turn each have their own fireworks display. I found the syncing process of the AR cards to be on par with my experience of Table Ice Hockey as the AR cards synced rather quickly and created the objects they were meant to and I did not find the light to be as much of a factor as some of the other AR games. The AR cards can be located anywhere you want them to be enabling you to position the location of the fireworks display outside in your front garden or in your living room with the only restrictions being that the AR cards have to be placed on a flat surface and they have to be used in a well lit environment. The Vita’s motion sensor functionality is used to move the positioning of the camera angle, so you can view the fireworks display from any angle and as close or as far away as you wish to do so in the tabletop mode.įireworks requires only one AR card to be positioned directly underneath the Vita, although two additional AR cards can be simultaneously positioned underneath the Vita to control the fireworks display from three houses, rather than one. The controls are simplistic and are focused around the touch screen with a simple tap of the touch screen required within a circular reticule whenever the fireworks reach their peak in order to detonate them to produce the best fireworks display with the brightest and loudest explosions. When you have selected a particular unlocked firework that firework will be displayed in the background during the menus as a demonstration. There are a total of 152 unlockable fireworks to view, which you can select from the main menu by tapping the padlock icon on the touch screen, which informs you of the various tasks attached to them that are required to be completed in order to unlock that particular firework. There are five power-ups available including: bomb, slowdown, shield, extra life and auto pilot. You start each of the three game modes with three lives, but if you are too late with your tapping of the touch screen reticules, then you will lose one of your lives until you have no lives left, resulting in the end of the game.

FANTAVISION TROPHY GUIDE FULL
Spectator mode is available in all three game modes, but it achieves its full potential in the tabletop mode as the AR cards allow you to pan the camera around the fireworks display from any angle. The game can be paused at anytime and with a single tap of the eye icon on the bottom right of the pause menu, you can enter spectator mode. The premise of each of the challenge stages is to achieve a bronze, silver or gold star that will unlock the next challenge. There are a total of ten challenges within each of the three sets amounting to an impressive thirty challenges overall. The challenges mode is the second mode to do away with the requirement of AR cards and provides three sets of challenges including: starburst, nebula and asterism. The infinite mode does away with the requirement of AR cards along with the houses and gardens to provide a game mode that includes additional rules in which you will receive warnings not to detonate a particular colour of firework and the appearances of bonus rockets which are provided for a continually exceptional performance, which in turn provides you with an opportunity to significantly enhance your score. The tabletop mode is a fireworks display that takes place in anywhere from one to three gardens outside their houses depending upon the number of AR cards being used simultaneously as you can increase the difficulty by placing an additional two AR cards for an increased challenge and bigger scores. The game provides you with three game modes including: tabletop, infinite and challenges. Fireworks is the Vita’s augmented reality equivalent of the PS2’s Fantavision.
