Ostensibly, PlayStation Move Heroes is Sports Champions featuring iconic PlayStation characters in place of forgettable avatars. Developed by the chaps at Nihilistic Software, it’s a mini-game competition that requires Sony’s motion-sensing peripheral to command a collection of familiar faces: Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper and Bentley, and Jax and Daxter. Unlike the franchises the characters are derived from, however, you may notice that PlayStation Move Heroes tips the scales in favour of a decidedly cuddlier casual package. For better or worse, the small single player session I had the chance to check out was quite childish and simplistic. That’s not a bad thing, of course, as some of our favorite games are equally as straight and to the point.

The aforementioned mini-games include bowling, some whip action with Sly, a disc game, basic brawling, and a shooter. There is probably a story here, but I was far more interested in the actual gameplay experience with Move. You see, I really liked Move when I first checked it out just prior to its retail release. However, since then I haven’t found a great reason to utilize the wand-waggling controller instead of a traditional gamepad. Knowing that Move was an absolute requirement for this game and having enjoyed pretty much all the series’ the characters are on loan from, I was excited to see how it all works.
