It's a similar concept, Heroes on the Move is the video game equivalent of taking three legitimate franchises and throwing them into a blender until they become a kind of soft puree of "Casual Game". The plot is dead simple, the characters are easily recognisable, and the controls largely just involve aiming your Move controller in the direction of your television and poking about a ball or a robot or two."
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.

Crysis 2 can suck it after that horrid demo on the PS3.
I'm getting this instead.
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 doubt it. I'm pretty sure the box art will say "Not for Resale"
Everywhere I go I see people winning games of that subway contest and the best I got was a stupid theme!
Man, I refeshed Subway's twitter page like 1000 times last week trying to win that damn game. I clicked 2 minutes after they tweeted the url and they said the prizes were all gone. Why do I even bother?
Not to be a jackass and this might sound stupid but why would you enter a competition to win something that you don't even want? If you didn't want it you should have just left it to other people to win who really wanted the game.
Yep it will work, they send out the full retail version of the game, the only thing is that when ya turn it in they will only give you a walmart gift card because you won't have the recite! I have done this before i won two of the LBP2 give away and sold one of them! Not to mention i won the move bundle pack of heroes on the move. I should have it with in the next few hours !
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.
Same stance here.
I really want this to be very good, but according to demo and reviews it's an okay mini game compilation, and with all the games coming out I think I'll pass at first.
I didn't know this game was a collection of minigames. no wonder this game got 60s on metacritic scores
