From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
''AFL Challenge'' is a simulation game
for the PlayStation Portable based on the
AFL. This is the sequel to
AFL
Premiership 2007. The game was developed by Australian games
company Wicked Witch Software and was
published by Tru Blu Entertainment [1].
The game is based on the 2009 AFL season and will feature all
official 16 AFL teams and players. It will be sold at EB Games, JB Hi-Fi, and The AFL Store. The game isn't
available in Queensland, New South Wales or the ACT.
Gameplay
AFL Challenge allows players to play through the entire season,
through to the Grand Final. It features a team management system
where players can be trained up in skills such as kicking, tackling
and running. Sony states that this will allow strategic choices to
be made as the player goes through the season by training up key
players.
The game also features a quick match mode, available from the
main menu as well as the season mode. Multiple camera angles are
available to choose from both in the options menu and while playing
the game. Camera angles range from close behind the player to wide
zooms showing most of the stadium. Each player is fully animated,
demonstrating if they are successful or not, kicking, sprinting,
tackling, hand balling or marking. [3]
Marketing
As part of the marketing campaign for AFL Challenge, Network Ten's program,
Thursday Night Live, promoted the game and its sister title Rugby
League Challenge, claiming it was the inspiration for an
inter-league kicking competition.[4]
TV ad's promoting both Sony's new PSP model and AFL Challenge were
run on Channel 10 during the first week of the finals season.[5]
Asides from TV, AFL Challenge has also been advertised on the
official AFL website, with a competition to win a PSP game pack
including the game.[6]
Elsewhere online, Sony's Australian PSP site is featuring a front
page advertisement for this title.[7]
