This review is from: Sony Playstation Move Shooting Attachment (Accessory)
There is a bunch of plastic add-ons for the PS Move already, most of
them are the same thing, just a different shell to hold your PS Move
controller, hit the trigger button. Should be simple in theory.
Unfortunately, the makers of games for which this add-on would seem to
make sense, don't know how to layout button commands in a sensible way.
You must remember, these are just pieces of plastic. Your PS Move
controller is doing all the work. These just make you feel more like
your actually holding a gun and not a wand. The problem is...there is
four games out currently that would seemingly benefit from this add-on.
The Shoot, Time Crisis Razing Storm, Cabelas Dangerous Hunts 2011 and
Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition. Ok, Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition uses
the Move Button (the button on top of the controller) not the T Button
(the trigger button). It is the T button which this gun hits to trigger
the PS Move's trigger button. Makes sense right. So that eliminates
Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition completely. Time Crisis Razing Storm
works but you need to push the move button for reloading and shielding.
This plastic gun add-on actually makes that more difficult. Its easier
if you have just the PS Move and use both hands. One on the trigger,
one on the move button. You have more physical control that way and
your accuracy will be far better. Time Crisis Razing Storm is also
crippled by the fact that you can't use the Navigation Controller and PS
Move Controller together. That would solve the shield problem. You
could use the gun for the trigger and the navigation controller for the
shield/reload. Sadly, Time Crisis Razing Storm recognizes the
Navigation Controller as a seperate Dualshock 3 controller and assumes
you have a second player who wants to play. Rather then a Navigation/PS
Move dual setup. Cabelas Dangerous Hunts 2011 is a first person
hunting sim. It actually comes with its own IR light gun if you buy the
bundle. So you don't even NEED the PS Move. I unfortunately have not
played the game, so I do not know how it fairs with the PS Move controls
in the game and with this add-on attached. THE SHOOT...ok, that game
was made with this in mind. The Shoot actually has a picture of this
add-on on the back of it's case. So Sony and the developers of that
game made sure that the controls were perfect for this add-on. It works
just as you would expect, you use the trigger and you shoot. Nice and
easy. So, Resident Evil 5: Gold virtually doesn't work with this
(unless you purposely want to make the controls harder), Time Crisis
Razing Storm works with this but it makes your accuracy and comfort
level worse, Cabelas Dangerous Hunts 2011 unfortunately I'm not sure
yet, and THE SHOOT works perfect. Messy huh. It's not the add-ons
fault. Its just a piece of plastic to hold your PS Move and its built
very well, I wouldn't step on it or anything. It's not built THAT well.
But the PS Move fits snug and the gun feels nice in the hand. But
there simply isn't enough reason to buy it. You can easily enjoy THE
SHOOT without the gun. I just hope developers will use a little more
common sense when making their games to support this.
