In particular the inability to have people sat around a TV and simply pass the controller is inexcusable. Move was supposed to improve on the Wiimote, not be a step backward! Like I said, I think Sony will be able to update the SDK to mitigate some of the positional issues. Tumble was an especially bad example of anything not exactly dead-centre failing miserably. SC managed off-centre use for multiplayer, even though it was fiddly. For single player use I would imagine things run a lot smoother, although the finnicky positioning requirements in my angled living room setup would drive me mad in pretty short order. So far though there isnt anything for Move that I would want to play single player. Like the Wii I see Move purely as a party device. With regard to Table Tennis I see how some people will appreciate the added depth to the gameplay over Wii Sports, but for me it just wasnt as much fun to play. The devs went part way down the accessibility path by making the hit profile of the bat about 3 times larger than the on-screen representation, and by being very generous with the time window you have to hit the ball (much like in Wii Sports you can still often return the ball when it has passed the bat), but I would like to see a 'realism slider' so that the game can also be enjoyed on intoxicated games nights as well as serious single player sessions. As with any game apeing reality there comes a point when realism impares fun, and fun is the single most important attribute of any game. To be honest though, both Wii Sports and SC table tennis pale in comparison to the original Wii Sports tennis. That had plenty of depth, even without Motionplus.

I've really got no interest in any of the currently released move games, but I quite like the look of that.

Though I think this is affected by the switch in tech to an extent and being used to the more limited Wiimote. For example a Wiimote in Tennis or Table Tennis doesn't care where you are because it's just looking at timing and gestures. Where I disagree is the value added to a game like Table Tennis. In the short term the Wii approach is more immediately accessible, but it the longer term it's very shallow. I've played a fair bit of Table Tennis in SC now - beaten the bronze level with all stars and I'm working my way through silver. It just keeps giving and as a single player experience it is significantly better game. It's a much more complete and flexible simulation. For multiplayer it does takes a little more to set-up and go but the end result when that is sorted is the same for me, a deeper and more involving experience.

I bought the wand, had the game, and no game as of yet. We downloaded a few demos to get an idea if we wanted to invest further and if so, what games we liked. This thing is pretty good. I really enjoy Ping Pong. Good time. Have yet too try too much else, my wife likes the eye pet tho. Not much interests me software wise, looking to try Tiger Woods 11, anyone know if move works with demo of that? I got burnt on the wii version of pga long time ago, not thrilled at trying it again w/o knowing first ya know? Anyways Move = hella lots better then I would have guessed. Sony might be onto something here.

LMAO! this guy is in such denial. How can someone be this delusional is beyond me but I know and trust the community of VG247 to know this guy is a straight up hardcore XBOT to death. Don't believe a shit he tells you about PlayStation as a whole. MOVE is awesome and I highly encourage anyone who's on the fence to stop worrying and pick it up. The $100 MOVE bundle is well worth the price and for that matter so is the $400 PS3 MOVE bundle if you don't already own a PS3 or just want another PS3 in general. I guess I can throw up a (true) review of MOVE after I post my XBOX360 review :D .....now go buy MOVE! Gadzooks! on "PS Move" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=1364#post-13125 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 12:02:23 +0000 Gadzooks! 13125@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ I got to spend a decent amount of time with Move and most of the Move software release lineup on the weekend and thought I'd do a review: Hardware -------- Move controller Seems like a quality piece of kit. It's comfortable with a good trigger. The Move button is fine, although the face buttons are a litle small and fiddly. The huge glowing ball can be a bit distracting at times, but it only really spoiled one game for me. . Navi controller Didnt have any games that use it so couldnt try it out. . Camera Image quality was apalling. Most of the time it doesnt matter as you only need it to track the glowing ball, but in games like Start the Party the camera view is a grey pixellated mess. Games ----- Tumble Nice clean presentation, they were obviously going for the Portal look, and the physics and textures of the objects was good. The level of control of the various shaped blocks was good, and blocks could be placed quite accurately. There was a reasonable amount of variety in the gametypes. Single player build and destroy modes were a bit dull but multiplayer got a bit more interesting. Limbo mode was fun if too long-winded, but Windmill was the best mode overall I thought, and could get mildly tactical in multiplayer. My main gripe with Tumble is that it is completely sterile and charmless. It is an interesting game, but playing it did not seem particularly 'fun' (especially in comparison to the similar Boom Blox) and would get dull fairly quickly. As a proof of concept it bodes well for a (fingers crossed) Move port of Boom Blox. Here was where I encountered the first of Move's location foibles. I could not play the game anywhere but standing dead centre of the TV. The controller simply would not calibrate otherwise. This is very annoying, as not only is the forced standing obviously bad, but it means people have to keep shuffling to the exact spot required to take thier turn in multiplayer games. I suspect that a bit of faffing with the camera would have eventually allowed seated playing. This shocked me, as the Wiimote is perfectly happy working at angles of 45 degree or more from centre, and you can sit down or stand up to play with no fuss or calibration. . Sports Champions Again, very nice presentation but without any of the charm of Wii Sports. The accuracy of the controller was good, and apart from in one mode felt much more like a 1:1 controller and not a waggle device. Disc Golf was an accurate frisbee game. Bocce was okay, a slightly dull version of bowling, limited a bit by forcing paired teams in multiplayer. Archery would have been very good (better than Wii Sports archery, IMO) if it wasn't for the glowing ball insisting on being right in my field of vision all the time. Gladiator was my favourite mode. Good level of control, nice looks and a reasonably deep combat engine. Could be a bit more fluid, but bodes well for Move-enabled Demons Souls! Table tennis was too much like hard work IMO, and I didnt feel the extra work needed to actually hit the ball added enough depth to outweigh the immediate hassle-free fun that Wii Sports table tennis brings. One example where dialling back the realism would have made for a more enjoyable game. The big let-down was Beach Volleyball. You have virtually no control over shots. You are fed shots by your AI partner and you have what is essentially a quick-time waggle event to pass, setup or shoot. Lame. More problems with player location in this game. In multiplayer mode the 2 players are given very specific areas to stand in by the calibration process. In table tennis especially this caused constant problems as moving off your tiny calibration spot moves your character on-screen, and it is VERY sensitive. Single player table tennis was okay, but multiplayer did not work well at all. . Start the party Very slick presentation and kids might like it but it was basically an exercise in arm flailing to a loud, overexcitable voiceover. Not for me, or anyone old enough to have a sense of shame. Racket Sports Tennis was almost exactly the same as Wii sports Tennis, i.e. gesture-based, only worse. Incredibly laggy controls and it was almost impossible to miss the ball, resulting in exrucitatingly long and boring rallies. Beat Sketcher Paint some shapes and it triggers predetermined samples to a beat. Completely pointless. I was dissuaded from playing the Shoot and Kungfu Riders as they are apparently beyond awful. . Conclusion ---------- While the improved accuracy of Move over a Wiimote is a big plus, I dont feel like the device is user-friendly or flexible enough for the majority of people right now. Multiplayer in particular does not work well. If Sony can update the SDK to allow better player location tracking then they could be on to a good thing and I might consider buying one, but anyone who is used to using a Wii, especially in a multiplayer situation, will find that the constant differing calibrations methods and being forced into very specific locations to play will make Move feel very cumbersome, restrictive and frustrating, and it somewhat stalls the flow of a lot of pass-the-controller games.

I quite liked the Wii Sports Resort Table Tennis - one of the best sports games of that title. I had to unlearn all the bad habits that gives you though. Actually having to move the bat properly - no gestures or flicks, being able to move yourself and the bat moves and repositions with you - it's great. Couldn't go back.
