To begin with, Move technically only cost me $50 for the controller since I already had a PSEye in my bin of unused peripherals, so I didn't feel obligated to use it just because I spent money on it.

I honestly have to say that Move controls didn't make Heavy Rain more intuitive or natural to play, but admittedly I tried it for less than an hour before coming to that conclusion after a fair amount of frustration.

I actually purchased RE5 Gold (already bought non-Move compatible RE5) to try it out with Move, expecting the difference to be as big as it was between RE4 and RE4 Wii Edition. It wasn't, with some really questionable design decisions made in regards to the button and motion mapping for the Move controls. I actually ended up playing the back half of RE5 Gold with a standard DS3.

The addition of Move controls for KZ3, while a nice option, did not make the game easier or more intuitive to play and I haven't used it since to play. It's entirely possible that I'm so used to using an FPS Freak modified controller that I really don't need pointer based controls. I'll give it another try, but starting over with the new controls definitely brought my game down in Veteran mode, meaning there is a definite adjustment/learning curve involved.

The most use I got out of Move was Sports Champions, specifically table tennis. Best motion sports game I've played to date easily.

Other than that, no verdict; can't make a decision based upon the first wave of games, but I will say that it has not become my preferred controller for FPS games as I had hoped.

And I am planning on picking up at least one more Move controller for paired use or multi-person play if that says anything. No "it sucked so I sold it" stories here.

 

Also, the High Velocity Bowling Move controls weren't much of an improvement either. Wii Bowling is still more satisfying to play even if it is way too easy by comparison.
