TOKYO--Announced and shown in trailer form for the first time back at the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo, Konami's sci-fi-themed first-person shooter, Coded Arms: Assault, is on the show floor at this year's Tokyo Game Show in playable form. It's an early version of the game, for sure, but its smooth looks and interesting sense of style appear to set it apart from other games in the same genre.
The Coded Arms series began on the PlayStation Portable as a fairly basic first-person shooter that took place inside cyberspace. As you fought, you'd see Matrix-like effects that give away the fact that the whole scenario is unfolding inside a computer. That same style is used in Coded Arms: Assault. Each time you fire a shot, hit a target, blow something up, or destroy an enemy, you'll see what are presumably bits of code flying off of everything. When you destroy an enemy, he falls to the ground, but a glowing outline of the standing enemy remains, hanging there for a few seconds before fading away.
Despite the setting, Coded Arms: Assault does have a sort of real-world look to it. The one-level demo being shown at TGS opens in what appears to be a Japanese subway terminal, then takes it out onto the street, where you'll fight some more. Before long, you dash up a fire escape and find a man with garbled computer Matrix effects for a head. Hitting the circle button decodes him and ends the level--and the demo.
