my sport champions move bundle just came in the mail yesterday (amazon).  i kind of bounced around a lot trying out each of the games but table tennis, gladiator, and frisbee gold was a ton of fun.  archery was pretty good but i only have one controller so it feels kind of weird to hold a bow with only one hand, i think if i get a second controller it will feel much better.  i didn't personally care for bocee ball but lets be honest here, bocee ball sucks in real life too.

tried a couple of the demos, time crisis wasn't my cup of tea.  i didn't care for the shield mechanic - i want to just shoot things so a different rail shooter will probably be better for me.  eyepet was a complete fail for me.  when the professor guy started telling me about how i had to change my set up to meet this games needs i just said fuck it, i finally got the camera where i want it i'm not changing it now.  going to try tumble and echochrome tonight.

overall, i'm pretty impressed with the hardware.  very responsive, very accurate, very natural.  i was pretty impressed with the wii at first though too but became extreemly disappointed with nintendo once i learned how bad the tech actually was so hopefully that doesn't happen again.  well see you later guys - in that last sentence i had a statement about the wii that wasn't saying how much nintendo is awesome and the best thing ever so dun will be around to ban me shortly.

Hey, if it's any consolation, I appreciate the honesty.

 

Also I tried Archery with just 1 Move controller and it isn't nearly as fun. 2x Move is where it's at, same with Galdiator dueling. The movement in Archery feels very natural with 2 and being able to fully control my shield in the Gladiator battle was nice.

I think that is what impresses me most about the Move right now. Using it just feels, natural. I don't feel like I am just doing gestures, but rather I feel like I can do the normal motion required and it responds accordingly.

For the Wii version to be like this you would need to be able to aim a crosshair with the nunchuk as well as the Wiimote, and i'm not just talking about using the 2nd controller to "tilt" and aim. I am talking full control of where it goes, whether it be straight down, straight up, you name it. It feels natural.
