What the fuck.
So getting this "tomorrow". Since it's a holiday, I haven't checked my cellphone to see if Gamestop sent me the usual "pick up tomorrow" message.
Haven't tried the demo or anything, neither I'm expecting an incredible game; but picking this since I got it for under $20 and it will be a nice diversion between Yakuza 4, Killzone 3 and Gran Turismo 5.
Nice OP by the way.

I found it
Grace Chen says PlayStation Plus members get a time based trial of PlayStation Move Heroes tomorrow. Hasn't the games that have had full game trials been put up on PSN?
Also, updating the OP with reviews.
OT updated with new reviews. Sixth Axis review is all over the place. A negative is the "wrong" characters being chosen (he wanted dudebros), but he also explains those dudebros wouldn't have fit with this game. He also says the Move controls were nothing special, and if this game had been Dual Shock 3/Move it wouldn't have mattered, which clashes with what the other reviews are saying.
I put a lot of work into an OT of a game I won't even play for a while (I don't own a Move setup yet)...
Anyways, I noticed something - SCEA can't commit to a name. Look at the Toys R Us bundle's side. Anyone else notice it says "Heroes on the Move"? lol

You got it for free. Send it to me since I'm a poor Canadian that wasn't allowed to enter that contest again.Wario64 said:Got my copy today from Subway. Going straight to Goozex since I don't have Move.
Also, I think the game requires 6.5 GB for install since it says 6.5 GB HD space required on the back. Better get a Subway ® sandwich.

Sly... Not like this. Not like this.
Wow.
I opened this thread, then saw Jak, Sly and Ratchet. All in one game. Why has no one told me of this? Why do I not know of such a game? I scroll further down and the disappointment sets in. How are you going to throw these three together and make a game like this? Maybe I'm the fool for forgetting in seconds that I was reading about "Playstation Move Heroes". Why would a game with that name be a proper effort?
I miss Jak.

6.5 GB installation? Really?
That's surprising, considering this is a first-party game. You'd think they'd try to optimize it better.
The demo was OK, not bad, but not great either. As I said in another thread recently, it seemed like a disjointed collection of minigames that lack a cohesive "glue" to hold them together. I like the Jak, Ratchet, and Sly games, as well as the characters, but I don't get the point of what they're doing in this game. Maybe it would be better with all-new characters and an original storyline, rather than trying to shoehorn several existing characters into a single game--at least I wouldn't have any preconceived expectations that way.
As it stands, although I enjoyed some of the events of the demo, I don't feel compelled to pick up the full game.

I'm actually really curious if this game is any fun. I am a huge Sly, Jak, Ratchet fan, but this game looks like a mess and the fact that it's Move-only puts me to sleep. I do want to pick it up once it hits mega-dumpster territory which won't be long.
I also can't get myself to purchase a Move with the camera and everything. Unless the original Ape Escape team releases a REAL AE4 that requires Move I'm not budging lol!

Is there going to be a limited supply of the Move bundles at Toys "Я" Us or will it still be sold until Sony feels they should cut production?
I haven't picked up the Move yet and needed a reason to. This game originally looked like garbage, but it seems Nihilistic improved quality due to the negative feedback.

I picked this up today, been wanting something new for my Move. I'm actually having fun with it. I'm still in Ratchet & Clank's levels, but it's not bad so far. It's a high score game for sure, I was under the impression it was going to be more level & story based, but I don't mind, I just wish it was a little quicker getting into each level. The first time you do a particular kind of event, the tutorial at the beginning is brutally fucking long, and you can't skip it. Other than that I don't really have any complaints. If it was $60 I'd probably feel a little cheated, but for $40 it's cool. My son is grounded, but he was watching me play a little and he's really anxious to play, so I guess it might be a good kid friendly game.

Sony, why must you continually mock me for buying your move and nav controllers?
Well, finally got it.
Used the code for the costumes, though haven't put them in-game yet to see how they look.
Played it for around 2 hours, and I'm really enjoying it.
Though I do have to get used to he "fixed reticule" while shooting, everything else..boomerang, bowling motions are really nice. Story intro is a nice touch with all the characters like "wtf are you?"
I avoided demos and many impressions of the game, just limited to a few here and there about how it's just minigames. And while it's true, I'm still having a good time and serves the purpose which was to be a diversion between Killzone 3, Grant Turismo 5 and Yakuza 4. Guess the disappointment of many comes from the fact that it could've been a great action adventure game like their individual games.So I'm glad I got this and for technically $20, was a great deal. Also glad that is minigames focused, because otherwise I would've gotten it later.
Oh! and really like how the Move-sphere changes color depending on the character you play: Ratchet-games = Orange-ish, Jak-games=Blue, Menus=Light blue, etc.
EDIT:
And yep, installation is 6.3GB. Loadings are relatively fast, so guess that helps.

It's also very mediocre (to be very kind).ChuckNoLuck said:
Been playing some more, and still liking it.
For some reason, the shooting games reminds me of Unreal. Like the way the arenas are designed, the waves of enemies, the announcer.
Like also how the sphere changes colors depending on how hot is the gun. So it goes from yellow-ish to red when it overheats. It's also indicated in the screen, so there was no need to, but still nice touch. (on top of all the colors it changes depending on the character, game, or weapons/game you're playing). [Also got used to the "no moving/centered reticule" while shooting and it's ace, though still prefer it the "regular moving reticule" like in Killzone)
Like the varieties in weapons (whip, smash, shooting, bowling, boomerang), missions (protect, rescue, destroy, etc.) and the combinations too.
The definitely not the best game ever, but still fun. Not the adventure-like game one may have expected or wanted, but as a mini-game compilation is still great and have some nice production values. Great visuals, music, voice acting, CG movies, character interaction is fun and or $40 is quite a nice game. (Though I got it for less and it requires move which also requires a camera; so those that didn't jumped at Move before this game probably won't get them in.)
By the way, contrary to the silhouette that appears while calibrating, there's no need to be standing up to play. I've played the game while sitting down, according to the silhouette the Move's on the guy's dick/crotch...but as long as you point from were you're going to shoot, and not raise you arms or point directly to the camera, but to the screen it calibrates just perfect (then again, every game's like that).

Brilliant video.
Move implimentation in gameplay seems to be improving.
Motivated to buy it and try for myself.

good to hear that, with more budget and time, maybe Nihilistic can make Resistance NGP a great game on par with Resistance Retribution.

This game is missing The Murray. That's what's wrong with it.
Yeah. The current formula with some improvements and more variety in characters, world, mission would make a great online multiplayer game too. Maybe that's why it reminds me of Unreal tournament III so much.Callibretto said:
I also like the interaction between characters, during the movies. Jak's really pissed off and hates Sly. Sly constantly makes fun of Jak as if he's all brawn no brain. Ratchet like doesn't care about anything just wants to have fun. Clank and Bentley seems hate each other, and Daxter..is Daxter.
I got this today. Only played a couple of games and I must have messed up a little on the calibrating because it felt a bit off. Anyway, didn't play enough for any impressions. I did like the opening cutscene though. I really wish we were getting a Jak game on PS3. Maybe ND will do one after Uncharted 3...
I played through the first world and a bit of Haven City's challenges. I actually think it's kind of fun in a minigame sort of way. I mean it isn't what we want to be playing with these characters, but I think it's pretty fun. I don't really care for the melee and whip challenges as much. I like the shooting ones the best and the bowling/frisbee ones are pretty fun too.
