This review is from: Sony PlayStation 3 Move Controller – Black (PS3) (Accessory)
I really enjoy the move and its capabilities, this is an add on so you either need the starter kit (move controller plus playstation eye) or a playstation eye and this to play the move games. I started with the kit, then added another controller, now another controller, so 3 in total. Its kind of half a regular controller,you will find all the right hand side and middle buttons on here and a move button, (you can buy a seperate navigation controller for the left hand buttons, but as yet not found that necessary as you can just use a regular controller). You simple plug your eye in point press ps button on controller and it assigns a number (or if it doesn’t or you have too many peripherals already you can change the numbers in xmb menu). Its a bit fiddly to use to navigate xmb menu you have to pull the trigger and wave it in the direction you want to go and it takes some getting used to so as not to overshoot. Now onto gameplay I have used a Wii round a friends house and found the nunchuck to be awkward hard to use and not very responsive, games hard to play, not so with the move, games are so much fun! Generally the game will ask you to calibrate the controller by pressing on the move button and pointing it towards your tv, newer games tend not to. The end will glow through a range of nice colours or stay a certain colour for a certain person so you know which you are onscreen. We have eyepet which is so much better without that silly card, sports champions of which the archery using 2 controllers is brilliant, 3 dance games which are brilliant fun all specifically move games. Games which say move features /compatable or where you download a move patch to update the game dont play so well as they have just bolted the move on as an afterthought and its a bit clunky. Move is definately a step above Wii and the poor childlike graphics nintendo does. And it doesn’t need batteries, simply use the cable for your regular controllers or buy the charge station which is great as it plugs into the wall so you are not loading up your usb ports all the time.

First let me say, you need space, a good 3m (10ft) clearance between ps eye an you. I have only 2,5m (8ft) and sometimes i struggle to get things going. Now for the fun part, it rocks! Controller fells solid and ergonomic, very sensible and precise. You will have a great time playing games like sports champions, move fitness, medieval moves, even echochrome will have a refreshing perspective. A must have for anyone seeking a new way to play games on the ps3, and getting move active while playing.

I am still not convinced by the look and feel of the PS3 approach to motion control. Jumping about our front room with a glowing pink bauble has created a few giggles in our house. Have to say it works great though and really adds to the depth of games you can play on teh PS3.

|Still funny looking…..works great though,
