GameSpot writes: "If you’ve ever wondered what some of Sony’s most iconic video game heroes might do if thrown together in a development mish-mash, then wonder no more. Heroes on the Move takes characters like Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, and Sly Cooper and Bentley, and gives them a colourful world full of Move enabled mini-games to play in. We hopped by Sony’s booth at Gamescom to take a look at the freshly unveiled game modes, and size up how well the motion controls work".
From the review:
"Picture it: after countless defeats, the hilariously loathsome Dr. Nefarious embarks on another quest for universal domination. Due to an unforeseen event, something goes awry and his latest gadgematronic-doohickey implodes, causing a rift in the time-space continuum. In what looks like a scene straight out of Sliders, Ratchet, Jak, Sly, and their respective sidekicks are sucked into a wormhole and dropped into an alternate universe full of deadly, destructive beings that have named Nefarious as their god. Now Sony’s good ol’ boys must work together in an epic adventure full of laughter, love, tears, and mass destruction from whence one of them may never return. At least…this is what I imagined would happen when playing PlayStation Move Heroes…"
I don't think PS has enough popular characters that can carry crappy games like Nintendo does.
When Sony first announced that it was combining three iconic franchises – Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and Sly Cooper – into a single game, fans got understandably excited. Seeing beloved video game heroes interact with one another in a mash-up is inherently entertaining, and extending characters beyond their traditional settings offers boundless creative options for the storytellers. But instead of capitalizing on these classic characters in a story-based mega-adventure, Heroes gives players a collection of repetitive, motion-based gaming events stitched together with the weakest of plots.

I eon it for free from that subway fresh buzz thing. But im thinking of returning it at walmart to get full price back for the game. Will that work?
I'm a fan of Sly, Ratchet and Jak but I'm not that excited about PS Move Heroes because it's just mini games and there's no platforming. If it was a motion controlled platformer, I'd buy it day 1. I may buy it when it gets really cheap. I'd buy this over Crysis 2 any day. I'm starting to get sick of FPS games.
I didn't know this game was a collection of minigames. no wonder this game got 60s on metacritic scores
Looks more varied than I had previously thought. I'm certainly looking forward to it, but I hope it offers up more of a story and exploration than it appears. I think it's a great idea, though.
