Face Raiders is a digital media title for the Nintendo 3DS and comes pre-installed on the system. It is also one of the "augmented reality" titles made for the system. Face Raiders makes extensive use of the 3DS cameras, and as the title suggests, involves getting players to photograph themselves and friends and family for the game. Once the face is carefully lined up with an on-screen guide and photographed, the game attempts to identify the sex of the individual and whether or not they're an adult or child. After this, the face is given some 3-D modelling, and planted onto helmeted faces for use in the game.
Gameplay The game is largely played as a sort of "augmented reality rail shooter." Players simply tap the A button to shoot yellow balls at the faces flying at them in the screen. Gameplay takes place in the top (3-D) screen, and uses the exterior cameras of the 3DS. In this sense, gameplay takes place where ever the player currently resides. If the player is in their living room, they'll be shooting at faces flying at them from surrealistic holes broken through the background of the real-life environment seen by the cameras. A player may see holes broken through their television and living room furniture with outer space "visible" through the holes.
Aiming is entirely physical, as the game also uses the motion sensing capabilities of the 3DS. Players must turn physically "aiming" the 3DS at the faces flying at them. Faces will attack, launch weapons, and occasionally, broken pieces of the background will even fly towards the player. Boss characters (or faces) will also appear, which may require more tact than simple, direct shooting. Such as shooting an object to knock it into the boss.
The game also features a "face collection" section where players can view the faces they've photographed. Players are encouraged to take pictures of more faces and people in order to unlock more stages. [source:mobygames]
