Pat, do try out Skyward Sword if you ever get a chance. It starts out slow, but in my opinion the best 3D Zelda yet and a big reason for that is motion controls.

But yeah, besides Skyward Sword, which took like 5 years to arrive on the Wii, I’ve never been impressed with motion controls game, except for a few party games here and there.

My gf’s been looking forward to this guy even more than I have.
She’s never played video games before except for Final Fantasy 10 (which I tried giving to as a first attempt).
I’m going to go buy it and update you guys on how that turned out :)

Oh, she does play Plants vs. Zombies!

If this was a digital download it would have been an 8. I’m a little surprised to see a lot of sites actually gave it a 7.5 to 8 as is, but it was the price factor and lack of universal appeal, at least for extended play, that pushed it to the 7 I eventually gave it.

Makes sense. More of a cohesive package in some aspects….and I didn’t expect the motion based aspects to be this good compared to the rest. Maybe I’ll try it out if they ever drop the price.

The reason I scored it a 7 is because I compared it to all the other motion based games out there today, and it’s leagues better than its competition. I also found it really captured the essence of being a wizard and I’m positive children will enjoy this one for a long time. As an adult there’s little reason to keep coming back, but that’s why I mentioned it like that. The difference between this and Wii Sports or Sports Champions is that there’s a real story, you unlock better powers, etc.

Good review. I do think that your score is a bit too generous though, but maybe you really liked the prospect of functional Move controls in a game, so it’s understandable. At that price, it’s really not worth a buy especially since there’s no replay value. If this were a downloadable title priced at 15$ or 20$, it would’ve definitely been received more positively. Sony did spend way too much money on its development cycle though so that isn’t exactly a practical way to launch this game. From what I can tell in your review, it still feels like a tech-demo not a full game, ala Wii Sports.

Once the price drops, I may DL it. Not worth my money now.

Yeah Pat I’m disappointed as well. It seems motion controlled gaming died with the Wii. From what I’m hearing even the Wii U is going to more or less ditch it. Odd given the huge boom Nintendo had because of it.

I gotta admit that I’m really disappointed with what motion gaming turned out to be :(

Back when they announced Move and Kinect during E3, all the motion control haters turned out to be right afterall. They’re just not used properly or at least don’t justify the chunk of $$$ spent to get motion controlled gaming. There aren’t enough games either.
