I will add more to the OT if needed.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Sorcey.

 

[Square Triangle]

Will be picking up Sorcery soon, never seen this Sorcey game.

 

[Skilletor]

Sorcey.

Came for the typo.

lol

 

[Forkball]

That's a lot of so-so reviews.

 

[LiK]

US cover wins.

 

[zroid]

That EU boxart is... unfortunate

And I don't particularly like the NA one either :/

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Had my copy ship today, hoping it arrives tomorrow. Nice to have something to have my Move controller charged for other than Pixeljunk 4am.

 

[Loudninja]

Ah dammit.

Edit:Fixed now

 

[Carl]

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).

 

[spats]

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.

 

[evolution]

Had no idea it was only 40 dollars. Will buy now.

 

[KillGore]

So it's safe to assume that the European version requires the move controllers, to be able to play it?

 

[GeoramA]

Not sure. Let me look at the boxart again.

 

[AgentP]

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.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

This is coming out?

Stealth release. Sent to die.

Looks like it could be fun though, shame I don't and won't have a Move.

You save some money this way.

 

[Salaadin]

Does this exist? Have they even announced it? Is it Europe only?

Im talking about the one on the left...Game+all the controllers.

 

[Carl]

PLAYSTATION MOVE. MOVE REQUIRED. YOU'LL NEED MOVE.

 

[KillGore]

PLAYSTATION MOVE. MOVE REQUIRED. YOU'LL NEED MOVE.

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 )

 

[Loudninja]

Dont forget it will be on PSN as well.

 

[Xane]

YOU'LL NEED THESE!
(Playstation® Move® sold separately.)

 

[LiK]

apparently they don't think EU people know what the Move looks like.

 

[dreamfall]

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!

 

[Carl]

PSN too, yup. Already up for preorder on EU PSN, will be out in US today.

PSN as well.

 

[Cudder]

This game reminds me, I have to sell my Playstation Move.

 

[CadetMahoney]

I think someone will use that logo and add it to that Batman AA PS3 cover or similar. You know the one with all the logos on it.

 

[dreamfall]

PSN as well.

Whoawesome! May just stay in and download it then! Anyone playing it already? Do the controls feel responsive? Reviews suggest that they do, but GAF impressions are always better!

 

[xKilltheMx]

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.

[Fox1304]

Good job Jeremy !

 

[Necromanti]

I thought this game was canceled.

 

[Dead Prince]

is this the game thread or a review thread?

 

[Loudninja]

is this the game thread or a review thread?

Game thread, not much else I can add.

 

[Fezan]

UE3 and dosent look like Ue3 what sorcery is this ?
And getting bad reviews what sorcery is this ?

 

[Hanmik]

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..

 

[Majine]

Judging by the screenshots in the OP:

Game definately has style. 2012's sleeper hit?

 

[Loudninja]

The bundle is for EU,I dont see a US deal.

If anyone wants to make some fancy header that would be great.

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

 

[Chao]

I thought the opposite. It looks like Sports Champions with magic wands to me.

 

[Cornbread78]

Game looks pretty good and got some decent reviews accross the board, so I will probably pick this one up and add it to my backlog pile....

 

[distantmantra]

Is there a demo? This is the kind of thing I'll pick up when it's clearanced at Target or part of Gamefly's Fall sale.

 

[Ashes]

LoudNinja is memberfied. Sorcery indeed. Well done to whichever mod did that. Tis the ninja way.

Day one.

hahal The old somebody else post an op trick.

 

[dark_prinny]

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!

Yep been using it for awhile now

 

[Hanmik]

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

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..
