Echochrome 2 is the first Echochrome game to use Move controls.

@Grissefar:  Good on you for not solely saying first, I also like the fact that you used it though.

Wow, I'm close to the top. Didn't even try. :p
 
Love the look of this game, some have given it a bum wrap because you can just fiddle around until you get it, but there looks to be some nice depth the game and I love the Move integration.

The shadow twist is pretty cool use of the move controller, but when you think about it, this is still totally the exact same concept. It changes is small ways mechanically, but the core Escher-like preservative shifting is intact. Really smart way to repackage it though.

I'm tempted to buy a Move just for this game at this point. I loved (and beat) the first echochrome and have been wanting another experience like this ever since. Damn Move, why you gotta be so expensive!?

Looks like what Lost in Shadow should have been. Very interesting; might convince me to get the Move.

echochrome 1 was hard as hell, all i remember doing is having the guy jump or fall, and then spining the camera like a madman and seeing where he lands

The law of World 1-1 remains true. Also, "I Ain't No Vampire" sounds like a great song title.
 
But dude, this game looks crazy. I wish they had some classic Echochrome in there. I wonder if it would work well with the Move controller?

I kinda wish microsoft would start giving Kinect owners the same level of support Move owners are getting instead of forcing us to buy $60 dollar games that feature less content than most XBLA titles. Some $15 downloadable kinect titles would be nice.

Never liked the look and wasn't interested in the gameplay of the first echochrome, this looks cool though.

This game looks really cool.
Also, the Move seems to act pretty much as a mouse would, which (for me) is a very good thing. I'm getting more interested in the PlayStation Move :)

You have to remember that the Kinect is a far newer product. Not just new in that the product release is more recent, but newer in the fact that the technology is far and away like nothing else anyone else has made before, meaning it's still very highly in it's infancy and it's going to take a lot more time before we start seeing something really concrete. Kinect isn't entirely vaporware by any means at this time, but it definitely is still in it's proof of concept stages.
 
The Move has the advantage of already being way past the proof of concept stage, considering Nintendo already took motion games past that stage with the Wii. In essence, I'm saying that Sony doesn't have to try as hard to build that killer app to develop the Move platform, whereas Kinect is still developing their product based on much different level of innovation.

echochrome wasn't hard. It was a bad game that couldn't follow its own rules.

Music's really great and very Sims in nature (reminds me of something from Buy Mode), and the game has a very interesting premise. Good stuff, aside from the woman saying "Break a leg!" all the time.

If you pause the video while the loading cube is spinning it will always stop either on a cube or directly halfway.

This looks great but too bad it requires a move. Definitely the most interesting Move game I've seen.
