Top 5 Reasons PlayStation Move Sucks

X360 examines just why folks should wait for the arm-waggling of Kinect, rather than, well, Sony’s version……

In light of Sony’s PlayStation Move embargo breaking, we thought it’d be a good idea to contradict the entire internet and tell y’all exactly why you should wait for Kinect rather than purchasing a set of glowing balls with colours on the end. Because we’re like that.

Top 5 Reasons PlayStation Move Sucks

1) Pricing Minefield

It seems a useful rule of thumb at present that most PlayStation Move titles that can be played with either one or two motion controllers  are of much greater quality when both are employed. Kind of knocks the debate about which system’s more expensive into a cocked hat, that…

2) French Fancy

Sports Champions invites gamers to play boules. BOULES. That’s only one step away from those wooden skittles sets you find in retirement homes, and certainly not where we saw ‘virtual reality’ as back when we were 12. And it was ok to still call it that…

3) Puerile Joke

We’re sick and tired of people asking us if we’ve had an idea whenever the remote is held overhead. At least with Kinect folks can only mock your flabby frame. And we’re used to that…

4) Retrograde Step

If initial review scores are to be believed, it seems Move does quite a good job of taking existing game concepts and making them slightly worse. It’s better, then, to wait until motion gameplay innovation has matured. Well, it can’t be too long until Get Fit With Mel B is out…

5) Cheaper Alternatives

Well, there seems little point in lavishing shiny HD graphics on gamers if they’re going to spend half the time having their arms obstructing the screen. Can this be a 360 magazine recommending people get the Wii? No – just play outside instead.

      I know Xbox fanboy’s ain’t the sharpest tools in the shed, but the PlayStation Move isn’t Sony’s version of Kinect, it’s Sony’s attempt at copying the WiiMote after saying that people didn’t want motion sensitive gaming, (the Wii then went on to sell nearly 75 million units, over 3 times the ammount of PS3′s sold and twice the ammount of Xbox360′s).

      Seriously, if you’re gonna’ slag off the idiots that are Sony fanboy’s try not to make yourself look just as moronic in the process, (mind you, with nimrods like Spliff saying the Wii is for 17 years olds, co-incidently her IQ, it’s what anyone with an IQ in triple-digits expects).

      I baught move to test MAG and see if the control would match that of a consol or pc, with little hope it would, and i can firmly with full confidence say that the playstation move sucks horribley, it’s my opinion that it was never meant to become a step forward and revolutionize gaming for the hardcore. I was excited with the 20.00 Precision Shot 3 Move case that looks like this black desert eagle on steroids i was hoping to dart around rack up some serious frags… So so not worth it.. Stil so so so many years away from that kinda next gen

      @jim the move only sucks with MAG. if you’ve ever played killzone 3 with the move you would know it’s better than using a dualshock.

      Well, at least PS3 has an serious (I mean for a serious mature gamers, e.g. Killzone3 or Heavy Rain) exclusives that support Move, which in XBox360 there are not for kinekt, most of kinekt games are for 5-y-old kids. I’m buying kinekt if Microsoft gets smarter and boosts kinekt in exclusives like Halo or Gears of War, for example. Until then my “sucks” opinion-meter braced towards kinekt.

      Like Kinect is any better! I think Kinect and move both suck.

      I got a Kinect and I’m never using a exercise machine EVER again. No wii and no Playstation move (seriously).
