    Sadly underrated by a lot of self-declared "hardcore" critics who appear unable or unwilling to appreciate casual motion games for what they are. The motion controls in this game are sharp, almost lag free and intuitive; the on-the-fly weapon selection works great. The overall gameplay indeed is repetitive and won't hold your interest for several hours of continuous play - but it's freshSadly underrated by a lot of self-declared "hardcore" critics who appear unable or unwilling to appreciate casual motion games for what they are. The motion controls in this game are sharp, almost lag free and intuitive; the on-the-fly weapon selection works great. The overall gameplay indeed is repetitive and won't hold your interest for several hours of continuous play - but it's fresh and challenging enough to keep you coming back for smaller, yet positively addictive stints of fun (which is exactly what any casual game should do). The story - though obviously nothing to write home about - provides a charming and reasonably interesting backdrop that can't be blamed to be any more simplistic or bland than any of those threadbare Mario games that a lot of critics seem to love so much. Multiplayer is where Medieval Moves really shines, though. The option to play locally as well as online in head-to-head as well as co-op multiplayer matches renders it a very interesting take on the usual party game formula. Bottom line: Medieval Moves is certainly not a full-priced, AAA gaming experience - but ultimately, that's not what it actually strives to be. In spirit, it basically is to the Move what Angry Birds is to the touch screen: A very simplistic and almost naively casual, yet very intuitive and surprisingly fun use of the interface. Judged for what it is, it's the almost perfect casual Move game - and arguably one of the best uses of that interface yet.… Expand

    Really enjoyed a motion-controlled game that finally worked 1-to-1 the way it's supposed to. It's even more fun with 2 Moves as well. Enjoyed the story mode: should be fun to see how the multiplayer shapes up!

    It's not boring, but not really exciting, either. There are some set pieces that are quite fun, and the PlayStation Move functionality works fairly well. I did on a number of occasions find myself aiming at the floor with arrows, and that was a bit annoying. The main protagonist is pretty bland, and doesn't offer much in helping the story move along. The graphics are standard fare, asIt's not boring, but not really exciting, either. There are some set pieces that are quite fun, and the PlayStation Move functionality works fairly well.

    Dig this game. Lots of fun for kids, adults with kids, and adults that like to act like a kid for a little while. Multiplayer is really fun and competitive.

Man hat einen Schild, Schwert, Bogen und so Wurfsterne. Anscheinend sind alle anderen im Spiel böse, denn sie greifen dich an,wenn man verletzt wird kann man ein Glas Milch trinken, weil Calcium ja gut für die Knochen ist, das ist süß gemeint, aber trotzdem ziemlich Banane. Das Gameplay beruht auf hin und her schwingen zum schlagen und so weiter, so fühlt sich die Steuerung ziemlich gut an und das Treffen von Feinden macht vorerst Spaß, wird aber sofort repetetiv und langweilig.So bekämpft man die Gegner immer auf die gleiche Weise, dann kommt ein Bosskampf, bei denen es keinen Unterschied zum normalen Kampf gibt. Deswegen ist es kein schlechtes Spiel, aber sonst ziemlich lahm    … Expand

    Quite a good on-rail-shooter. It is like Sport Champions with Disc Golf, Gladiator Fight and Crossbow Shooting in a good combination of all 3 games in one action game.

    Slightly funny middling, there was a feeling of in-game shooters with an autopilot, cool animation of drinking milk

    On-rails action adventure surprises with catchy fighting style and plenty of weapons. One of the best titles for PlayStation Move that you can get. [Feb 2012]

    The real shining star of Medieval Moves, though is the bow and, considering the game was developed by the same team behind Sports Champions, this comes as little surprise. We regularly ditched the sword and shield in favour of the bow at every opportunity. [January 2012, p.80]

    Despite high ambitions and well executed ideas, Deadmund's Quest ends up being an on-rails shooter that's better than most of its ilk, but still doesn't offer anything that will make you want to return to the game after your first playthrough.
