Yup, that's how I felt about the games.

TBH, for what it is it's not a 5, definately more of a 7 for mini-game collection.  I mean, from what I've played it's solid, the controls work, the graphics are fine and there's enough to do.  The review clearly marked it down for not being something else - i.e. closer to the main franchise titles with a proper plot, etc.

Now, I'd prefer if it was a bigger title, but still, as mini-game collections go it's no worse than plenty of others and it does have pretty good production values.  Certtainly it looks better than anything comparable on Wii and at least the equal of what we've seen in Kinect titles so far.

I suspect in the same manner of a lot of Wii titles it'll score poorly though.  The question is, will it connect (I'm so funny today) with enough of an audience as a decent mini game collection for Move based on popular characters?

Maybe you should check out some of the other reviews for the game, as they are in roughly the same range as the IGN one. Current metacritic average is 59.

It's definately a 6.5 to 7 game.  However, the obvious dissapointment Sony seems to have "wasted" some core mascots on an average title is going to drag the score down IMHO.

Personally I'd ignore the characters in it and ask yourself if you want a fairly casual selection of mini-games involving some combat here and there for Move... if you do it's okay, if not then avoid.

Don't buy it if you think you're getting something like Ratchet and Clank : A Crack in Time except with a plot involving Sly and Jak and using Move... you're not.  You're getting some mini-games they've been forced to play.

I'd note there's a nice hint of irony in a game that forces popular characters into it for the sake of it whose plot is that the characters have been forced into it.

Obviously he's talking about games that actually require Move.

Sony keeps trying to sell Move as some sort of core device but the only games that require it don't really appeal to core users.

Demo is SO BAD! sorry I wanted to like it, but this is really bad... no money from me

I hope nihilistic doesnt f*** up NGP resistance.... !!!

Killzone? socom? they are selling it as a as an optional controller, nothing else

When the developer was announced, I told everyone not to expect much.  Sadly I was right.

SCE (along with Insomniac, Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch) should've taken more care of this concept and placed it in capable hands.  Shame.

It's really unfortunate this game turned out to be pretty bad.  I was sooo pumped for another game for the Move since games designed specifically for it have been so rare.  I think the concept and everything was there and this could have been an excellent game if they had actually made it more of an adventure / platforming game with Move there just to enhance the gameplay.  Instead they designed a lame mini game collection. 

Oh well I'll keep my fingers crossed for Sorcery because that looks pretty promising from what I've seen.  Either way Sony REALLY needs to start putting some serious effort into Move if they want to see continued success because if they continue to realease very little software for it and most of what is released is mediocre it doesn't bode well for the future of the controllers.

Me personally i never got the vibe from Sony that we were going to get alot of Move only games anyway. The whole marketing just screams "optional" control method and in that regard its ok. They do need to go a little more though

Wow, I was right about The Fight an this! Before the Move launched, I mentioned how someone I knew actually had a chance to play this as a demo and they said it was terrible. I had a certain other user's alt yelling at me for both for a while...
