EU boxart looks like fucking vomit.

Glad i preordered PSN version. Looks good. Can't wait to play it (and get some much needed use out of my Move).

They're both pretty vomit-tacular in my opinion.

And shouldn't there be a space before the subtitle? Things like this bother me to no end.

I get this and Dragon's Dogma today from Amazon. I want to save this for when the kids are around, so won't get to play for a while.

Are you sure? it seems kinda vague.

On-topic: I'm very interested in this game, my move controller has been collecting dust for months now (but so has my wii remote and kinect )

It looks like a lot of fun- the reviews seemed promising too! Does it release on PSN as a downloadable title too or only box copy? I probably will go out and get it but just wondering!

Looks fun but the short play time is a little disheartening. Coming out with Ghost Recon and Dragons Dogma probably doesnt help either. Ill most likely pick it up at around $20 or $25.

I thought the game was fun, but the move controls and the linearity killed the fun for me after a short time with the game.. My hands were hurting like shit after playing through it, I flicked the move wand way too much and too hard all the time..
I reviewed it here http://joypad.dk/index.php/anmeldelser/1-spil/63-anmeldelse-sorcery ( yeah that is danish )..
It's not a tittle that makes the move wand shine in any way..

but would it have been more accurate if you jerked it softer?

Interested. A reason to take the dust off the poor Move. Last time I used It was with House of the Dead Overkill ( With the rifle ) Actually I had a really good time with it. Bring It on!

When I started playing I thought I would be playing it from my bed ( completed heavy rain move edition that way ), but my wife couldn't sleep because of the way you have to flick the move controller to cast a spell. You have to flick it pretty hard to cast a spell. So I moved my ps3 to the living room and played for a couple of hours. The normal spell casting works fine, but when you have to flick it sideways to curve or cast a special spell, I started to see some problems. It is pretty hard to be precise when you curve the spells, and aiming at the monsters that are standing high up is a pain. And it does not help, that the game has some kind of autolock system. The camera locks on to the nearest enemy, but if he stands by a destructable thing, most of the time you will hit that instead. The game has this strange autolock system, that makes your spells hit even though you aim slightly off, and that is annoying when you are fighting multiple enemies later on in the game.. I just figured out it was much easier to fight a large bunch of enemies by just flicking the controller up and down all the time, because it locks on to the enemies all the time anyway..Ohh and the manual camera is a joke.. Hold the t-button and move the move controller, that does not work like they intended.

The game has charm, and it has some really good voice acting and the sound is superb. But sadly this is not the best move game out there..
