Man is it fun!
The tracking is so precise, much much much better than that of the wii, and tracks great in full 3D space too, using perspective of the ball to tell how far away it is :D
I got the starter bundle, which comes with a crapload of demos on a disc, the move and the PlayStation Eye camera :)
I also got a Navigation controller and the game Sports Champions
all of this for £85, not bad ^_^
the demos are great showcases of what the move can do, and the full versions of some of the demos are available to buy on PSN Store already, so i may get a couple of them.
Sports Champions is a good laugh, and the disc golf game is addictive as hell. A good selection of games, Table Tennis is really hard xD
The good thing is, all the movements you make in the game... for example a slash in gladiator fighting... or a smash in table tennis... they're not scripted movements.
It is all you.
Which was my main gripe with the wii (wii sports especially), you would swing, then the character jerks into a pre-scripted move anyway. Made me feel like saying "why don't i just press a button if it is just going to do a scripted movement?"
With these games, no two shots/throws/attacks are the same. Even in gladiators, it matters how fast you hit and where you hit them. There is one preset move in gladiators, but if it wasn't pre-scripted you would certainly damage something trying to act it out.
I also played beat sketcher, which was a simple drawing game, but the drawing you make makes music to the beat in the background :) (Wrote です and けいおん！ a lot lol) Again, perfect tracking and responsive controls. I even found at one point i could use the menus through a wall, in another room O_O meaning its definitely not all dependent of the glowing ball.
Played Tumble too, which is a block-stacking game... which really makes you think about the precision of the move controller. You can really move things one pixel at a time and it will pick it up. Same with rotating the controller, lifting it up moving it back and forth... everything!
A good purchase indeed, very proud of this... and with the lineup it has and the advertising it is getting, this could take off nicely. Especially with the generation of gamers who have kids now... have a PS3 for hardcore gaming, AND this too, marrying superior motion control with superior graphics.
Cannot wait for more :D Especially LittleBigPlanet 2, which will be move compatible!! :D :D :D
