arg, I kinda want to get this especially seeing how I can get the move bundle for $80 off amazon with free 2 day shipping.
Gladiator, Archery, Bocce all look pretty awesome. But aside from this and maybe playing heavy rain with MOVE i don't know of any other games aside from sorcery that I'd be interested in.
I've played it a bit, best way I'd describe it is that it's what people thought Wii sports would be like before they played it. The amount of control is much greater, but it does mean you really need that space in front of your TV to take advantage of it, especially for table tennis on higher than easy, because it's _very_ depth based.
There's no point to motion control, unless it improves upon or adds something to previous controls. There is nothing I have seen so far that could not be done just as well or even better, by existing control systems.
I get the impression Sony settled with this bundle of odd, underwhelming games for their preliminary package so they could milk regular pop-sports (aka, what was included in Wii Sports) to hell.
The package that includes the game and the camera only comes with one controller wand, right? It doesn't include a second wand nor the navigation controller(s).
" Based on the character reactions getting a bogie in frisbee golf is justification for suicide. I really don't care for the characters at all... this really needed some kind of customization and quirkiness. I just don't understand why Sony is dead-set on this "realistic" (yet completely UN-realistic) character design. It's just bizarre. I suppose I would learn to ignore it but I would be way more into this if I could make a dude in a monkey suit play beach volleyball instead of these clothing catalog models. "
Maybe the game is funded by a generous grant from the uncanny valley?
im planning on getting Kinect just so i can try it out but i also bought Move on day one and to be honest its pretty amazing ive been gaming for around 25+ years now seen the best and worst and this is far from the worst (worst being VB or the NGage), i have Tumble, EyePet (which is pretty fun), and Sports champ the only thing im sadden by is the same argument i have for Kinect how long will time pass before we see new innovative games for them. I'm getting DC for Kinect and thats about it not if MS has the right idea on what to do with it so ill leave that to the other developers, but for now Move is pretty great if your just jaded on motion i dont blame you but trust this the games some developers have been pimping lately are pretty interesting so just try and keep your eyes open.

" Man those characters are generic soulless. They are like something out an 80s cartoon about the importance of following the group. "
its about the gameplay, and clearly by this quick look and jeffs review the game is definitely fun to play. who cares what they look like, its more about the users anyways.
The games look fun, but the characters and their behaviour to what's happening looks terrible. I'm still on the fence on this PS Move stuff, it just needs more fun looking games before I'm ready to take the plunge.
" This looks surprisingly fun. Not really sure that I want one though. Also Jeff looks like he's losing weight. I'd also like to point out the helicopter in the background of the volleyball game. I hope that it will be considered in this year's awards. "
Didn't sell my cousin on Move, I thought it looked pretty good actually. Its a better Wii Sports than Wii Sports was. Still, Kinect is still more interesting to me so we'll see.

Well, this looks surprisingly not horrible, especially for a pack-in minigame collection. Still, not seeing anything that makes me run out and buy a move controller or two.
Very clever use of that green screen! No clumsy picture-in-picture boxes here! I hope this'll be the new standard for motion games, or even some other videos!
" @Ygg: your name is green, youll probably buy kinect. "
Yeah only because it looks better green, I own a PS3 and even if I didn't I wouldn't say such a thing about Move just because of that. I don't have allegiance to console manufacturers, it's incredibly dumb. I think Kinect looks terrible and I won't be buying it. No matter what the cost. "
I think both the Kinect and Move look great, but both suffer from the same price of entry problems along with having just a handful of games that I am actually interested in. I guess I will be a late adopter, holding out hope for more gameplay innovation on both Microsoft and Sony's part.

I was going to hold off on buying this, but after seeing sports champion in motion, I really want to play this! What's even more interesting is I own a wii and wii sports/resort.
This QL will probably go down in history. You guys are on to something with the green screen stuff. If you don't use that to overlay a little image of the guys playing on the couch during at least QLs for AAA games or, just maybe, for the next Endurance Run, I might be a bit disappointed.
