    It's not only a fun game, but shows off the Move brilliantly. [Issue#201, p.99]

    The biggest pitfall. There's just not a ton of stuff to do. The challenge mode and match mode might be decent for a family game night, but they won't last beyond that. You could power through them in a short evening.

    Looked at as a game it is a fun experience that is over far too quickly. However, those that lose themselves in the Creation Mode will find the hours flying by and will be more than happy with their purchase.

    It's a clever idea that delivers occasional bouts of amusement, but any winning moments are mostly self-made. [Feb 2011, p.86]

    For those with infinite patience and actual artistic skill, then Creation Mode might offer some entertainment, giving you the chance to show off your talents, or, more likely, import pictures to daub obscenities over.

    If you absolutely need a painting program for the PlayStation 3, you could do worse than Beat Sketchers. But the fact it has so little going for it, and at such a high price, will probably have you reaching for a clipboard and markers instead.

    It's a fun little artistic diversion and a nice way to show off how accurate the PlayStation Move can be.

If you are creative and like drawing/painting or something of that nature it can be very fun. I turned an innocent bystander in my house into a pirate by adding a hat, parrot and an eye patch. While it is very cool, it lacks the depth that would have made it awesome. What more could they have added really anyway?… Full Review »
