What Is PlayStation Move Heroes?
A family-friendly mini-game complilation featuring characters from other Sony properties, PlayStation Move Heroes makes use of the PlayStation Move motion control system released in 2010.
Heroes That Will Move You
What's the Story?
All the heroes and their sidekicks are on their own respective adventures when they suddenly get beamed up to some sort of space station. There, two suspicious looking aliens announce that Jak, Ratchet, and Sly have all been entered to compete in the Inter-Universal Hero Games, which they all agree to. Daxter is the only one that questions their motives, and sure enough, once the heroes are beamed away to compete, the aliens laugh in a maniacal manner, indicating they might not be such nice guys.
Which Characters Are in the Game?
What Types of Mini-Games Are Included?
From what we've seen, there are melee-based challenges where you rescue adorable aliens, a different take on bowling and some third-person shooter segments.
How Does It Control with the Move?
Executive Editor Kristine Steimer's take: From what I played recently, the controls have (thankfully) been addressed. Sure, you're going to "waggle" a lot in the melee areas, but I was having a good time with it. You can simply swing as hard as you can, or you can use a bit more strategy and block or use different types of moves like a jump attack.
I also got my hands on the "bowling," which took some time to get used to. Instead of just throwing the ball and watching it, you guide it through tracks while attempting to hit specific marks. I found it slightly difficult to do because the Move controls are more accurate than what I was expecting, so I often over-corrected. You can make the ball jump, detonate it (oh yeah, the ball also doubles as a bomb…) to gather things, or self-implode if you get stuck so you can start over.
Is There Multiplayer?
The game supports two player co-op and there are leaderboards so you can compete indirectly with your friends.
How Many Missions Are There?
There are 57 missions to complete. There are also 12 "diamond" missions, which are extremely difficult and challenge you to do things like complete a game of bowling with only one ball.
