THE EUROPEAN RELEASE OF NEW PUZZLE/ACTION TITLE KURULIN FUSION FOR PSP®(PlayStation®Portable) system BRILLIANTLY BLENDS CUTTING-EDGE GAMEPLAY WITH A BACH-INFLUENCED SCORE FROM CELEBRATED FINAL FANTASY COMPOSER
Nobuo Uematsu
Bellevue, Washington – MTO USA is pleased to announce that Kurulin Fusion™, an hypnotic new puzzle/action game for the PSP®(PlayStation®Portable) system, will be available in Europe beginning February 11th, 2010 from the PlayStation®Network for the equivalent price of U.S. $4.99.
NOBUO UEMATSU REIMAGINES J.S. BACH
Kurulin Fusion’s visionary aesthetic perfectly balances a futuristic look and feel with a soundtrack that uniquely combines the talents of one of the greatest composers of all time and one of the giants of video-game music. By reimagining the works of the 17th-century composer Johann Sebastian Bach for the 21st century, renowned Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu has set a new standard for puzzle/action game music.
The imaginative soundtrack invests some of the world’s most beloved music with the kinetic appeal of digital-age instrumentation. Uematsu’s unparalleled career includes compositional credits for many Final Fantasy games and other Square-Enix classics. He’s also performed his music with symphonies around the world. A high quality MP3 version of the entire soundtrack is now available for purchase by following the links on Kurulin Fusion’s official web site, www.kurulinfusion.com.
A FUSION OF PUZZLE ACTION
At the game’s core are Fusion Blocks and Energy Orbs, which annihilate each other with a burst of energy if matching colors touch. Strategically combining Fusion Blocks into massive structures, then linking the blocks to a string of like-colored Energy Orbs, will ignite a stunning chain reaction that delivers super scores.
Gamers of all ages and skill levels will love Kurulin Fusion’s four modes:
- Arcade: Starts off easy, but as you advance through 100 levels of increasingly daunting game play you’ll find both your reflexes and your strategic smarts pushed to the limit.
- Mission: Battle through 30 stages of engaging challenges. A surprise awaits those who triumph all the way to the end!
- Score Attack: The clock is ticking down relentlessly, but you’ll need to keep your cool to reel off the massive combos that guarantee a high score.
- Multiplayer: Square off against another Kurulin Fusion owner via local wireless connection.
“We received a warm reception with the North American release in December,” says Sheila Boughten, President of Tozai Games, which is handling Kurulin Fusion’s launch in both North America and Europe. “And now we’re excited to bring the same combination of great music and engaging gameplay to all the SCEE territories. We believe that Kurulin Fusion’s remarkable interpretations of Bach’s famous fugues, Goldberg Variations and other classical compositions sets a new standard in game music.”
MTO USA President Scott Tsumura vigorously agrees. “The compelling gameplay, stunning sights and sounds and attractive price make Kurulin Fusion a top choice for the PSP®(PlayStation®Portable) system.”
Kurulin Fusion can be downloaded and played on the PSP®(PlayStation®Portable) system and PSP®go systems.
