PlayStation Move: Review Round-up


Recommended Posts

The embargo has lifted for Sony's upcoming appearance in the realm of motion gaming and the initial reception has been extremely positive. You'll have to wait a bit to view our take on the device, however I wanted to take this opportunity to round-up several reviews; good and bad, so you our viewers can make an informed decision about purchasing the device. To view the reviews of PlayStation Move hit the break and remember to let us know what you think in our comment section.

What

PlayStation LifeStyle said: "Whether you're interested in motion controls on the PS3 or not, the PlayStation Move is here to stay. It's going to become a staple addition to the PlayStation 3's line-up and both casual and hardcore gamers are going to be better off because of it"

What TechRadar said: "Sony itself credits Nintendo for its accomplishments with the Wii. But as with all technology, someone creates something good, and then competitors evolve it, make it better. And that's exactly what Sony has done with the PlayStation Move wand and accompanying Navigation controller."

What IncGamers said: "At times it can feel like you are playing a Wii but with the use of the camera and the added buttons you feel like it's the next evolutionary step in motion-controller technology, now it's time for Microsoft to show me exactly what the Kinect has to offer."

What PCMag said: "Right now, if you're willing to pay for the necessaryhardware, the Move platform will bring a new dimension to your PS3 gaming experience. And the future should bring plenty of games that span a wide variety of genres to keep you pleased. It will be interesting to see how it fares against the Kinect and the Wii itself when the motion wars heat up later this year."

What NowGamer said: "There's some serious underlying tech behind the Move control mechanic and from what we have experienced of the device, it's accurate, reliable and takes little time to calibrate. The base Move unit is chunky, delivers vibration feedback and can be use to fluidly navigate the PS3 cross-media bar and while the price of a Move controller and PlayStation Eye may put some gamers off at the outset, the investment is worth it for what is already looking to be the leading choice for motion control enthusiasts, so until we see more of what Kinect can do, we'll have to definitely say Move all the way."

What CVG said: "Even before those big must-have titles hit the shelves, though, PlayStation Move is a success in its own right. After all, it got us to play 'shovelware', enjoy it ? and even respect it."

What Kotaku said: "The Playstation Move is a keeper, offering up enough potential while absolutely nailing the basics of motion-control to make the relatively modest investment more than worthwhile."

What Joystiq said: " The hardware's great, and I can see it being used in a multitude of really cool ways, but of course it's only as cool as the games that use it. I've mentioned Sports Champions and Tumble, two great games that make excellent showcases for Move's potential. But considering everything on offer, it's hard not to classify Move as anything more than a "cool toy" at launch. The best of Move is worth experiencing, but is it worthy of a day-one purchase ? not to mention the full set of two controllers and a NavCon? No."

What IGN said: "At the end of the day, the PlayStation Move has the potential to be the best motion control system on the current crop of consoles; but unfortunately, the games offered at the moment just don't do the technology justice. If you're eager to buy into the system now, don't expect a whole lot of great content straight out of the gate, but with time and certain kinks ironed out, the Move could prove to be a great way to add new gameplay experiences to the PlayStation 3 and attract new, more casual players."

As for right now these are the big ones, and you can expect many more reviews to release in the coming hours. Do these reviews sway you an either direction? Are you going to purchase the device? Are there any games you are looking forward too? Let us know in the comment section.

Stay tuned. This page will be updated with more listings as they become available.

If you want any proof that it appears Gawker is being paid off to advertise the Move, take a look at Kotaku in the last 6 days.

There are more Move stories than ANYTHING else on that damn site, they're whoring it out like it's 1?, and left on the curb.
