So I've had the Move since Monday, I've yet to pick up a game yet but have played all of the available Move demos to get a feel for the device and what I'd like to play on it.

From a plain and simple design aspect the move is NOT a Wii remote, it does not follow the same design philosophy, and it's very apparent.

I know a lot of people like myself was confused about the Nav controller having motion or not, this is a big fat no, any real reason for this? Not really its 10 dollars more than a nunchuck and I would gladly take a simple cord between the controllers (which limits nothing) if it would reduce costs and allow them to add motion controls.  Since Nav is a wireless device this also means 4 players cannot have both a Move and a Nav at the same time since the PS3 limits you to 7 devices at once.

Now that a couple of the big questions are out of the way I'll go into the meat of the impressions.

Some of the good stuff:

Move does tracking in a 3D space really well, something the Wii remote cannot do, this works well for games like Tumble, you're picking up blocks and stacking them, it's simple and it shows off what the remote does well.  

The Move controller is less likely to get off center than the Wii remote with Wii motion plus, it still happened in Tumble but I had to move a lot and it wasn't as off as WM+ has gotten with some things like Sword Fighting on Wii Sports Resort.

Table Tennis with the Move is pretty fun, its got a little more that you can do vs Table Tennis on WSR, this makes it a little less accessible, but might be for those that want a little more.

Some of the disappointing stuff:

Since I went over the Nav not having motion I won't go on much more but that's a big missed opportunity since to have two motion controllers you have to give up your analog stick

Launch library, simply put there just isn't anything that stands out and sometimes it's just really rough, King Fu Rider fits in this category, Eye Pet being the best game so far but you can tell it started out as an PS Eye game, I feel I might buy Sports Champions first simply for Gladiator, you can't get a demo and Sword Fighting is my favorite WSR game.

Pointer controls, this is by far my biggest complaint, this is from the perspective of someone who has used the Wiis pointer for years and that pointer is so intuitive and just really tight so going to this is like night and day.  On Move it's based on the gyroscope inside the controller, with Tumble in particular you have to turn your wrist/controller 90 degrees left or right to point at the edges of the screen, making a full 180 degrees of range, on Sports Champions its less but still way too wide of range and could be tightened up so much.  One particular issue when the controller did get off center after a LOT of motion the pointer was also off with it because it is gyro based.

REALLY minor complaint, there is a couple of frames of noticeable lag, not a deal breaker by any means, don't want people blowing this point up, but it's simply there, might be something fixable with an update, it's likely cause the camera is also being factored into processing since you don't get it when in the home menu and the camera isn't tracking the controller.  The Wii solved this problem by building in the camera into the controller and having the controller handle all that, but it's not affected gameplay so far so why care?

If you want a personal ranking from the demos:

Recommended

Eye Pet

Sports Champions

Recommended if its your thing

Tumble

Not Recommended

King Fu Rider

Racquet Sports

RUSE

(for some reason Planet Minigolf didn't let you use the Move in its demo even though the demo is in the Move section on PSN) 

try out echocrhome ii, and it'll suprise you

No. Move's pointer functionality is achieved by the PS Eye tracking the light sphere on the controller. If you're having problems with this it may be because there is another light source interfering.

A positive review from you in general then!!

Still not buying one till Sorcery though.

Actually, it's both.

If you use the controller when a game isn't launched (in the XMB for instance) the light is off. If it isn't immediately apparent what that means, the controller is using the gyro/accelerometer to translate your up/down and left/right motions to move the media bar.

Unplug your camera in the XMB and you can still use the Move controller to navigate menus (hold down the trigger and tilt the controller in the direction you want it to scroll).

Once you launch a game and the light turns on, and when the camera is plugged in (the light won't turn on if it isn't) the camera is now tracking the lit ball.

But if it only used the ball light to track motion, it wouldn't be able to determine the vector running along the axis from the center of the base of the controller to the tip of the ball. In simpler terms, a ball doesn't indicate what direction it's pointed in. It needs the gyro to provide orientation axis.

I just *re* bought RE5. The Gold edition. Because the regular edition don't Move. I might play through Heavy Rain again with the Move patch too.

So far I haven't bought a dedicated Move game although I will admit I want to play more Sports Champions table tennis beyond the demo. It's good. Real good.

Yet it uses the gyroscope you could turn the camera away or turn the controller towards you and it works the same.

@MaxwellGT2000  pretty damn good review of the controller!

thanks m8!

Hrm after further testing since Okey made me think of it, I tried tumble again, same result, on sports champions however I couldn't do the thing I did with Tumble which was hold the controller completely flat and just move the controller right to left without turning it, on sports champions it actually did track the light ball, in Tumble it simply does not.

So I somewhat change my verdict there which is I'm really pissed if they go the Tumble route rather than the Sports Champions route, my big reason for picking up Move was some FPS action with the nice Wii like controls since I'm a big CoD Wii player, anyway when I saw how Tumble controlled I was rather upset cause that destroyed my hopes of precise controls, but if they go the Sports Champions route but a little tighter it'd be nice.

So on that it depends on the software and that worries me since there is a lack of a standard, the Wii has its pointer and thats just what it is, I hope no one is foolish enough to do what Tumble did but I fear there will be more... 

Still it will be my biggest complaint since I want it to be tighter and there to become a standard to do it in a smart fashion.

You can't blame the hardware. It's the way the developers use the hardware and tweak their code appropriately that matters most. In many cases, it actually starts out as a design issue when deciding how they want the controls/interface to work.

In short, it's pretty stupid to write off Move based upon the earliest examples of control implementation.

I'd say see how KZ3 works with Move before making any decisions as to how useful Move will be for "serious" games like FPS. I'm guessing the controls will probably be dead on and give anyone using Move a distinct advantage in multiplayer over someone fiddling around with analog stick aiming.
