PlayStation Move Heroes Critic Reviews

Combine Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter and Sly & Bentley, give them PlayStation Move gameplay and that makes PlayStation Move Heroes. The game is based on five mini-games in the different worlds from every duo. A good game for young and older players.

I loved PlayStation Move Heroes for what it is – not what everyone was hoping or expecting it to be. This is a fun and challenging collection of party games enjoyable for one or two players that puts Sony's unique motion control system to great use. And the fact that Sony decided to put six of their most famous characters into the game doesn't sell those franchises short. It merely reignites and fuels an interest in those characters and their stories so we can start looking forward to their next-gen sequels. Heroes is a great party game for young and old, family and friends.

PlayStation Move Heroes is a fun and engaging mini-games compilation that will have you make a good use of Sony's motion-sensing game controller.

It's no substitute for a dedicated title starring any one of its three duos, but it still packs plenty of fan-pleasing fun.

This is a good game to keep using our PS Move controller and have some fun in its minigames, although it is too poor in its multiplayer mode.

In the end, this game has been designed for a younger market and is actually not that bad. It does lack some replay value and some of the mini-games are a little dull but for the most part, it's actually an interesting concept, especially with the inclusion of three gaming universes and their six characters. Compared to some of the other Move games available now, I would have to say that this is definitely the better of them for kids. Just be warned that the game does work better with both Move controllers.

No, it's not sufficient just to bring six heroes in one game. There has to be a plot, something like a thrill, but there isn't. The game just can't deliver, and this fact isn't changed by the heroes or the Move compatibility.

PlayStation Move Heroes has attempted to combine certain aspects of the platform, shooter and party game genres without being pigeonholed into any one of them. While the overall effect is a little disjointed, it will still hold plenty of short term appeal for younger gamers, being better looking and more sophisticated than the Buzz Junior-type games they are used to.

Heroes is better than the typical Move cash-in, and every now and then the action is reminiscent of what makes these three franchises popular. However, with more characters than gameplay events, and no interaction between the protagonists outside of a few cutscenes, it's hard to imagine a fan that wouldn't feel disappointed by this (non)mash-up.

A pretty Move minigame collection with a crappy storyline. The controls are fine, but the heroes don't live up to their potential. Not even close.

PlayStation Move Heroes is a fun mini-games compilation to make good use of Sony's motion-sensing game controller.

What Nihilistic managed to do, was put together some of the most beloved videogame characters, take away what made them PlayStation icons, and serve what's left in a mediocre arcade experience.

We could hope for a great platform and action game joining characters such as Jak, Ratchet or Sly. What we didn't expect, until it was announced, was a collection of minigames that aren't able to make the most of these great franchises. Fun minigames, but not as fun as we would like, too many of them taking into account their lack of variety. Anyway, a good option if you bought a Move several months ago and don't know what to do with it, but not a reason to acquire a new one.

Both Sly and Jak have been sorely missed on the PS3, and their half-hearted return in PlayStation Move Heroes doesn't make up for their absence. But it's still quite fun, and apart from a few uninspired levels and modes it manages to showcase the pros with the Move controller.

It's just an uninspired collection of minigames, not enough to justify the price and to meet the expectations. Suited just for kids, better with a bargain price.

These little touches go a long way to please fans of the original games, but it does not hide the fact that the core game is a fairly mediocre, repetitive collection of games that aren't quite small enough to be considered mini, but not nearly large enough to be considered full.

There's just not enough variety and some of the Move controls just aren't that great. Its sub-$40 price tag makes it a bit easier to stomach.

PlayStation Move Heroes isn't awful, but it's a shame these grand old licences have been used for something not so grand.

PlayStation Move Heroes is technically a great product. Its concept though becomes very repetitive after a short period of play.

A limited mix of mini-games that will delight children, but no one else.
