    There was a tremendous amount of potential for PlayStation Move Heroes. Really, this could have been the first great Move title. But that potential seemed to have been beat down right from the start, beginning with the design choices.

    PlayStation Move Heroes pulls you in with its all-star cast, but problematic controls and repetitive gameplay kill that initial excitement.

    There's very little to do in this game, and from start to finish it will take you only a few hours. The levels are repeated incessantly, and there is almost zero variety in the missions.

    Co-operative play and collecting gold medals adds diversity, but not enough to break up the repetitive gameplay cycle.

    With its dodgy narrative, interchangeable characters and distressing lack of variation, PlayStation Move Heroes does little more than sully the name of otherwise respectable characters.

    A cycle of challenges that never transcend routine. If this is what new technology does to old heroes, perhaps they're best left in the past. [May 2011, p.97]

    It's just so devoid of soul that it's almost impossible to concentrate on. [Issue#108, p.122]

    Incomprehensibly poor crossover that completely ignores the history of three best-selling franchises in favour of a motion-controlled mini-game collection.

    PlayStation Move Heroes is one of those games that try to follow in the Wii party-games footsteps... not successfully. Movement recognition is quite effective here, but the gameplay really lacks fun. The illustrious heroes who were trapped in this deserve better.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I have been a fan of all three franchises since 2002 so when I first saw this I was really excited then I saw footage and played it, I know no one asked for my review but as video game developers I thought that you would like to know a life long fan of these great video game characters thoughts on this game.

    GAME PLAY: what I was hopping for was game play like from the originals (for the dual shock 3 as well as PS move) if you remember all three franchises are under the category of "platform game" while you cant even jump in this game. a few weapons are fun to use like some of the guns and the melee weapons, while there other weapons work okay sometime but there not really as fun as the others, yeah its fun at first but then it gets boring and repetitive. in short its a "sports champions", but less accurate.

    *little spoiler*
    STORY:it starts out okay.....then it just does not make sense. How did gleeber and lunk control all those villians? with the crystals? why did gleeber and lunk want to go to sly,ratchet and jak's home worlds? What would they do there, takeover their worlds, the only reason they were able to takeover "gleepbertopia" is that the aliens that lived there were weaker and smaller then they were, and if not, but instead to be the heroes of there worlds, why? In short the story isn't even half as good as the story line's from the original games.

    I really want to like it but I cant and yes, I know it was probably made to just make money and show what the move can do but they should have also thought of the life long fans. in short Jak, Ratchet and Sly deserve better.    … Full Review »

    Great game! Very fun Move challenges. The game can get a little repetitive at times, but there is usually enough variation to keep you comingGreat game! Very fun Move challenges. The game can get a little repetitive at times, but there is usually enough variation to keep you coming back. It's not a platformer like these character usually star in, but all in all it is still a great game! Would definitely recommend if you have a PS Move!… Full Review »
