Zindagi Games' second PS Move title has arrived, but does Medieval Moves bring action and adventure, or should it be confined to the pages of history?
Console Domination writes: As the Playstation 3 Move controller gains momentum, more and more games are being released that utilize the motion controller in new and innovative ways. Some of these games work brilliantly, providing realistic and intuitive gameplay controls, while others fail miserably. Medieval Moves for the Playstation 3 seems to fall somewhere in the middle of these two statements.
PALGN - The PlayStation Move controller system has been applied across PS3 titles with mixed results at best. Nobody doubts the potential of the technology - it can produce accurate movements and produce some compelling playing experiences, but these things must be backed up by some compelling gameplay and high-end production values. On the flipside, some games using Move have it there as an afterthought, making you wonder why they bothered to integrate into their glossy game in the first place.
AAG's Khye Davey writes: "The PlayStation Move is yet to see a killer title come out that innovatively utilises the technology in a true gamers’ game. By this I mean it isn’t just an add-on that most people will never use (for example to aim in games like Resistance and Killzone). Nor is it part of a “party game” which some would argue are merely fancy tech demos. Probably the best use of Move since its launch was Sports Champions produced by Zindagi Games. Although it was still just a series of mini games, each one was executed really well and created an enjoyable multiplayer experience. Zindagi Games has taken a host of those skills and put them together in a more story-orientated format. Medieval Moves is a good attempt to solely utilise the Move in a more mainstream format, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark."
