Greg Howson, Guardian Unlimited (CES)
“I had a go on a fully amBXed PC while playing Broken Sword and, amazingly, it did actually add something. Particularly effective were the fans. Yes, seriously. Having a fan blow in your face as the in-game character walks out into a storm - complete with white light effects - or flies a plane, really does make you feel more involved. You'll have to trust me on this.”
Josephine Moulds, Telegraph.co.uk (CES)
“Probably the best demonstration of the day, however, was of some ridiculously sophisticated gaming gadgets from Philips. The amBX gaming peripherals include room lighting that changes in colour and intensity according to what’s happening on screen.”
Leslie Shapiro, Scifi.com (CES)
“the amBX definitely hypes up the action by adding extra sensory overload to an enabled game.”
Gabe Graziani, GameSpy.com (GDC)
“after a couple of laps in TOCA 3 I was pretty well convinced: it really did add a sense of speed to the game that I wouldn’t have expected.”
Gordon Kelly, TrustedReviews.com (CeBIT)
“The result is something that I found actually drew you into the gameplay, rather than distracted you from it.”
