I’ve recently managed to get my hands on the PlayStation Move and decided to write a review on it.

I’ve bought the bundle with Sports Champions and subsequently bought the other Move games as well. Comparing with the Wii, PlayStation Move has definitely much better graphics, basically a Wii HD. The accuracy of the Move controller is much better compared to that of Wii. As far I am concerned, you do need two Move controllers to completely enjoy the experience while playing Sports Champions. Although you don’t really need the navigator controller until the really good games come out next year.

Sports Champions
For Sports Champions, you get a couple of mini games such as table tennis and gladiator dueling. For the table tennis and archery mini games, the Move controllers work extremely well and you actually feel like you are doing exactly what is on the screen. As for the the other games like beach volleyball and gladiator dueling, it didn’t feel like you are doing the motions as you don’t move with your body besides your hands. During the gladiator dueling , the move controller also doesn’t capture your motions correctly.

Start the Party!
Start the Party is just like the Wii’s Mario Party, a party game. Playing by yourself is extremely boring although there could be some games that make you giggle or two. Playing your with your friends, however, is a totally different experience. You are given some tasks to do within a time limit and you are rack up as much points as you can. As I’ve said, playing with your friends is extremely fun and you would be constantly be laughing at your friends failing the tasks or failing to beat your score. Although it is fun playing with your friends though, there is very little games to play with and if you are playing with a group of four to five, the fun only lasts for a moment. To truly stretch the playability you would probably have to play with your whole gang of friend in a chalet.

Time Crisis Razing Storm
If you frequent the arcades alot you probably recognize the name Time Crisis and Razing Storm. The game disc includes those 2 games and an extra called DeadStorm Pirates, making it 3 games in 1 disc. To fully enjoy the game you do need to gun attachment for the move OR if you have a guncon, you could use that.All 3 games are basically what you would expect from the arcade, the experience is however dampened by the fact that you could revive each time you die without putting in money like in arcade which kind of ruins the challenge. Apart from that the games are pretty decent but i personally think that DeadStorm Pirates should had been the main game as it was way better than the other 2. The gun attachment for the move works perfectly and functions exactly like the same guns in the arcade and shooting people is ok as well as detection of where you point the move controller is working. Overall its better to play with friends but do note the short campaign, you could easily finish the game in a day.

The Fight: Lights Out
This video game blew my mind away albeit in the wrong way. This fighting game is extremely mediocre and for the first time, the move controllers did not function the way I wanted it to function. You are taught by the guy from Machete, Danny Trejo, on how to fight, which is probably the cool thing about the game, but everytime you try to execute the moves he told you to do, it doesn’t work! Moving is clunky as well and hit detection is awful. It will let you lose weight for those who want to lose weight but I would advise you just go outside to exercise.

All in all,the games may be fun for a short time but after a while. you would probably just trade them away. If you want to buy the Move, I suggest you buy it in the middle of next year where many of the most anticipated games and new hardware for the move will come out. Below is one of the games that will use the move plus a picture showing the new gun attachment.
