Wii Games come to PS3: Hands-on with Sony's new PlayStation Move motion controller

jmke · 11th March 2010, 17:09

The glowing ball at the top of the move was always interesting; the colors shift and change; it's all very psychadelic. We played a Gladiator title where you block with your shield and attack with a large axe. It takes some getting used to, but I can't shake the feeling I've played games like this on the Wii. The main difference, of course, is the graphics.

"The Shoot," which is a working title, has you shooting at robots and avoiding missiles. The movement was very smooth. To calibrate, you move the controller to your side, and then hold it near your belt. After that, it's locked in. As a shooter it was basic, but fun.

I've been moving around the party, playing games and talking to people, and each of the demos is impressive and fun, but nothing strikes me as a must-have title. The technology is mature, but it seems like a reaction to the success of the Wii, and not a brand-new experience.
