[Story]

Arcades "Dante's Inferno" is a new game machine Additions to a large-scale advertising. That night, fliers saw "Inferno" to Toronto and Alex were Virtigo DIFODO say the man in the back of the store and guide. Data wearing gloves, the first to challenge Nick was in the game, early in the game over in the fire. Then the challenge Greg, well go ahead. They are temporarily away from the machine, another game will begin play in the meantime Greg has become oneself invisible. One of the first to back it and reluctant to return to their potential, from the gift shop is passed. It is the monitor for "Arcade" home version.
 
Alex is coming home forthwith, the data glove and HMD (head mounted display) with "arcade" playing the obsessive realistic addition to the game master of the "arcade" self - min's name is called that the fear felt, in a hurry to toss out a game machine. And look at the clock and only a fraction of a second I played, but six hours after they had become aware of. The next day, with Nick Laurie's house to visit, she is in the process of being immersed in the game. Alex had managed to stop about the sport and the game of switch-off is impossible. Therefore, to monitor the destruction on the play to a halt, already late when their eyes in front of Raleigh was gone forever. "Arcade" in the body of any hidden in the secret? ... ...?

[Commentary]

Virtual reality - I mean, or B-grade sci-fi game story is a very common JUBINAIRU of film (but is a dirty word because the United States is designated R). And inherent in this kind of joke. "Game to understand the NEE." Sense of drift on the work of many. The film is produced by the 93 years that the PlayStation, Saturn's release a year ago. At that time, given the level of CG as this is what will be, but the biggest drawback is amused games invisible ( "Arcade" game content) means it. This game scare HAMARU detail is not there. And as the game machine is really good, Mom. With no body, a sudden TV data glove and HMD to connect and whether I can believe that, in playing the game HMD TV monitor is necessary also the question of whether. Other people also complain of a certain color, but the main premise of the first two occasions. The highlight of the ordinariness of whatever amount is pure smoke-game parlor depiction of attention. The intensity of red and blue lights in the entire stained with the per screen, just ping flavor. Also, Alex climactic confrontation scene and the mother, something unusual atmosphere with a good feeling. But as a whole is not quite Awesome movie. Cine V, and many expect, but maybe we should.
