I wasn't all that thrilled with the singing - it's lacklustre compared to Lips for example - and the dancing motion detection isn't as good as it could be, but I'll be damned if it's not given me some of the biggest laughs I've had with any game ever. If you have no shame and don't mind getting up to dance this is fun: not perfect. not revolutionary, not out of this world, just a lot of fun. Give it a go!

Over here, if someone says a game is released on November 12th, you walk into a shop on November 12th and the game is there. We do use the term "street date" but it's interchangeable with release date.

So basically if you guys quote a release date, that's just the first potential day you might see it in shops and is no guarantee it'll actually be available on that day? That's a great system

@Stuff The EU blog says this limited edition isn't supposed to be comparable to the US one in terms of features or price, which I guess is good in one way because I don't want to spend that much even for a cuddly Sackboy of my own...

Not sure what you mean by "wasn't street dated" - it was announced for November 9th last month. I think you're spot on though that they're not all for the same audience - they couldn't be more different!

Yes, but more importantly, Gonzo!

That's rubbish! I'm surprised Sony released three big titles on the same day as Black Ops to be honest. What's up with that?

Still a damn sight cheaper than buying the arcade cabinet, though!

Darts would be so much more interesting if it really did feature wizards and matadors.

I asked him to change it but he refused. How obstinate!

Killzone 3 should be right up your street then I'd also like a swordfighting game, maybe not Zelda-style but something equally stylish. TBH I'd be happy with a Rage of the Gladiator-style PSN download as that game was ace.

I was tempted to give this a 7 as it's a lot of fun whilst you're playing, but you're not likely to go back to it. I also can't believe there's no two-player career mode! And no gunslinger mode for solo players with two Moves either. I'd love a sequel though

@slappy Actually it was called EyeToy Kinetic, but close enough

@NESGamepro We've already got someone on the case! I really enjoyed the original Pain so I hope the Move features make it even better. Can't wait!

This is well worth picking up as well. I liked the gameplay of the full release so a bite-sized chunk will hopefully get people into it.

The chickens do actually look like that in game as well. It's quite realistic in that sense.

I've only done it in two-player so I don't know about team play, I'm afraid.

@mickeymac But how many of those games would come with a helmet?!

I also never got the chance to play them, but from watching the video they look pretty cool games. Looking forward to trying them!

If you're online with your PS3, add my PSN ID - DaddyNewts - and maybe we can pit wits against each other some day!

@slapshot82 Weird, every other review I've read has praised the Move controls and slated the Dualshock ones! haha

@Dazza It dropped £15 on day of release, it's already a budget title! I know Gamestation is doing it for £25 brand new, not bad at all.

@slapshot82 I didn't even touch DualShock controls with this so I can't comment on them, but I have to say the Move controls in John Daly's are better than those in Tiger. Just a shame the rest of the game isn't!

No chance of an iPad on your Christmas list then?

@mjc0961 Same goes for Kinect though, you need a 360 as well. And forget about using iPad or iPod Touch if you haven't got a computer!

I'd like to say "in my day" etc. etc. but truth be told I got a Mega Drive when I was 9 or 10 and that cost a packet.

Hey Robb J, thanks for the comment.

You're quite right - the Navigation is not compatible with NBA 2K11 at the moment, and I was playing with DualShock 3. I've corrected that error now, and I'm sorry if you felt misled.

As for the Move shooting controls, I think you're right in that they're introduced as a change of pace for players who wouldn't normally pick up a basketball game, but for my money they didn't offer the precision I'd expect from Move nor the range of control I got with a DualShock 3. That's just my thoughts on it though.

Again, thanks for the comment!

I thought about it but decided against it

@psychobudgie Firstly, welcome to Movemodo! Hope you're enjoying your Move so far, let's hope Sony can entice you to pick up a game or two

@slapshot82 I see your point and what you say makes perfect sense: older games wouldn't be counted, and perhaps Move's launch has had the unexpected secondary effect of boosting the PS3's back catalogue.

Most of this is just extrapolation on the extremely limited (and potentially even inaccurate) sales figures gleaned from the 'net, but the real point I'm driving at here is this: Move didn't launch with enough good games that sold well.

@Token Girl I think most of them were simultaneously launches with Move, or like RUSE launched a little earlier.

Either way, people are willing to spend the money on a brand new controller but not to pick up any games designed just for it. If I were Sony, that would concern me!

Thanks for the feedback @dcharlie - from what I understand it's a software issue rather than a hardware problem, as not all games suffer from it. I'm also shocked there's no shoot off-screen to reload - that's a light gun staple!

Wii, DS and PSP versions are still on for November: Kinect and Move pushed back to 2011.

Thanks for the comments, chaps. I think the Move controls were added late in development - the ShotStick and IsoMotion seem to be really well thought-through, whereas the Move control just... isn't.

Yesterday I convinced my colleagues at the game shop in which I work to run the game on one of our PS3s, and we all just stood there to watch it. Sign of a great game, particularly a sports game, is it's entertaining just to watch.

@Bullwinkle How strange - Sony itself claims the game is out today! I checked Gamestop and Amazon as well, and they both list it as today. Very odd...

Seriously, nobody can answer those teaser questions I set? You guys disappoint me...

@SegaGamer93 It's playable with the GCon3 or DualShock 3 as well as PlayStation Move, I believe!

Three lightgun games, slappy! One of which features pirates - I can't think of another lightgun game that featured pirates!

Look at it! Did you not see how much fun those kids were having in the trailer?

I've never actually played Ape Escape but I'm really looking forward to this.

And it's a very different experience with both pads too: the fights really bring you to the edge of your seat with Move, swinging away and really amplifying that "damn, I'm actually going to die" feeling for your character.

I think the next three months will be very interesting: it doesn't have a major release until LBP 2/Killzone 3, although The Fight looks interesting. We'll see how it fares against Kinect!

I've been playing the game quite a bit (review coming in a few days) and can say this.

It's amazing. The Move controls, however, are not. Stay tuned for more!

A sports set where only one of the attachments works with the biggest-selling sports game on there? That's quite dim, but I think the boat will always take the biscuit. A boat - honestly.

I played this a lot on 360 and I have the Wii version as well now - I also really enjoyed the Toy Box mode, but I must admit I only played the first few levels of the Story mode. Not interested! Toy Box was ace though, well worth the cost of the game on its own.

Shots like this one are what led me to say they're a bit hit and miss. The characters are really nice and crisp but the texture on the sign is kind of crummy. I know it's hard to remaster three games in HD so I don't want to be too critical!

You're not the only one bboy but I fear you might be slightly missing the point. Kevin Butler's supposed to be arrogant and annoying; he's lampooning many gamers' opinions of Sony itself, showing the company is aware of its own reputation. I think the quality of the ads varies greatly but on the whole he's the best marketing campaign they've had in years.

The way I've cropped that image makes it look like that woman is getting a punch in the chin from an unseen assailant. I swear this is unintentional.

I hear really good things about this. Like you, I haven't played an NBA game in probably ten years, but I'm looking forward to giving this one a go!

I wasn't exactly impressed by the demo, so we'll wait and see what the finished game's like. My bet: not good.

Still upset I didn't get to meet him this week.

I agree. Why spend £30 for the game if you don't want to play it enough to unlock the content? Mental!

To take down bad guys! And possibly assert your masculinity.

@mjc0961 Cheers, not sure what I meant with that sentence but then that happens a lot...

Seems contrary to delay it so offline gamers don't miss out on important features, then to release one such feature only through download. It's mental!
