Wonderbook: Book Of Spells [Move Bundle] - Boxed - PS3

Book of Spells is a fantasy augmented reality game, in which the on-screen action is controlled through a combination of the Move motion controller and the Wonderbook, a book-shaped peripheral included with the game. Using the Eye camera, the player's surroundings are projected onto the screen, along with the interaction with the Wonderbook via Move. At the same time, the player can manipulate the Wonderbook itself, for example by turning it, picking it up, or opening and closing it, with the screen mirroring every movement. The Move controller is depicted in the game as a wand. The wand is often used with flicking motions to cast spells, and it can also distort the game environment, for instance by pushing elements out of the way.

The game was developed with the help of Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling as a companion piece to the series. The book is introduced as a tome for learning spells at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the fictional British school of magic where the students are trained. The game is divided into five chapters, with four spells to learn in each chapter. Each spell is introduced through a short story and a practice exercise. To learn the Levitation Charm (Wingardium Leviosa), for example, the player has to lift a vessel with the wand, move it to another location, and then drop it. The story behind the spell is often told through a puppet show in a paper theatre that appears on the pages.

The game uses a Pottermore account system, in which a profile is created with a photo. Players can also choose one of the four houses and one of three types of wands. In addition to the edition that bundles the game with the Wonderbook, there is also one that additionally includes the Move controller and the Eye camera.
