PlayStation Move: Motion Controller

I'm not sure if the first reviewer on the list has used the Move because he reports issues with playing it sitting down and in the dark.

I have played Shoot and Heavy Rain sitting down in the dark, on a projector screen with no problems. In fact, because of the light on the Move, it works even better in the dark, bright light is what Move doesn't like so much.

The Move has so many advantages over the other types of controller and can be used in true games like shoot-em-ups as well as the Party type games that the others are aimed at.

Get it (if you can find one in stock!)

IGNORE the reviews complaining about accuracy.

These people probably own or play the Wii. Let me make this clear. These people think flailing your arms around assuming you are at one with your console is an idea of gameplay. They have been sold short and THEY WILL be disappointed with the Move.

If you have no co ordination YOU WILL HATE this system (initially).

However like everything, with time, patience and practice you will become better and become amazed. This system separates the wheat from the chaff in terms of console peripherals and is a genuine attempt to integrate the virtual world into reality.

1:1 tracking is here. Table Tennis on SC is an awesome display of this, lag is practically non-existent.

Play in low light, even dark? No problem as the glowing orbs allow the Eye Cam to track you with pinpoint accuracy (with different colours so you know whos belong to who, nice touch)

There seems to be a general attempt to denigrate this system as some sort of Wii clone but slightly better.

Utter rubbish, I own both a 360 & PS3 and am no fanboy.

This is to Motion Control Systems what Blue Ray is to DVD i.e., Blue Ray, like DVD's play movies but is infinitely better in terms of quality and content.

If the Move is this good from launch I can only imagine what treats are in store once developers get used to the system, look at the initial games on the PS3 a few years ago compared to recent games and those coming onto the PS3 now and in the future.

A must have if you own a PS3 or any SERIOUS GAMER for that matter.

Enjoy

There are 24 reviews that were written before mine and all say that words 'Precise' and 'Accurate'. These two words have been used time and time again, because they describe the product perfectly. As we can all admit, these are the wii motion controllers just so much better. The Kinect will be coming onto the market soon and I would predict it will sell much more, as it will have that new wow factor. I do however not believe it will be the better product. The Move has so much potential. There is a limit to what you can do with out a controller and a limit to what you would actually want to do without a controller. At the end of the day the next gen in motion controller needed to be much more responsive and precise. This is exactly what Sony have managed to do. Call it a wii remote with a ball on top if you like, but give it a try and you'll see what the fuss is about. I know my mate will purchase a Kinect, I'll have a go and I'll find it fun at first, but I know I will come back to Move for longevity. This will work for casual gaming and for more serious gaming. It's a win win.

10 minutes into Racket Sports I was dripping sweat. Very precise and an amazing experince. Being a hemiplegic (can't move my left arm or hand) this was awesome for me. Being able to playTennis again after 4 years was just fantastic. A clear evolution from Wii's concept.

Let me start by saying i was not really looking forward to the Move being released. Im a huge PS3 fan, ive a few friends who own the Wii and ive always hated playing it. Then i got 2 Move controllers for Xmas and since then i havnt been able to put them down. They are really accurate even when playing at night with the lights in the room off.
