    In reply to Ubisoft Plans 10 Games For Natal Next Year, 4-5 For PS3 Motion Controller
    Glad to see Ubisoft hasn't learned from their softer than expected sales of the motion-controlled shovelware they make.

    Doctor: "Well, don't do that."

    Great review! I've already decided against this game, but I admit I"m curious what the "hardcore skater" crowd thinks of it over the "hardcore gamers".

    By all accounts (i.e. nearly every published review) this game deserves to bail, and hard. Still, I can't help but feel bad for Robomodo. This was an enormously ambitious project (too ambitious, probably) and it's going to fall all the harder for it.

    Is it too soon to request a post-mortem? Probably more fun to read than the game is to play.

    Can't help but wonder if this piece of hardware might actually "work" with better software, or if the sensors are to blame for the unresponsive controls.

    @Sustenance: I could make a pitch for a boxing game where you wear a helmet and a machine punches you in the head every time you get hit in the game.

    Ambitious? Yes. Good idea? No.

    @Sustenance: As usual, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

    It was probably pretty daunting to get the sensors and the software to fully agree yet allow for natural human movement.

    Riding a real skateboard is something of feat of balance and trying to emulate that is bound to be rife with difficulty.

    Ah well, live and learn I guess.

    I'll put this review in my time capsule entitled "I Told Ya Motion Games Suck," and I'll bring it out again when the rest of the genre fails to compare to sitting on my ass and using a controller.

    Are there decent motion-controlled games? Of course. They should be in a separate genre, or perhaps a completely separate console. Yes it would be vastly expensive, but if people put down money to buy Motion Controlled Console, they would likely be interested in spending money on the games and peripherals required to play them.

    I can't blame them for trying, and unfortunately it sounds like so much is wrong on this first try. I'm sure someone will eventually get it right, or at least market it correctly, much like the Wii.

    Right now, I did not read this review. Reading it will tell me that the peripheral sucks and the game blows. I already know this. I knew this was terrible idea from the day it was announced. Unfortunately, all the stupid little middle-school boarderzzz will buy this game in droves and Activision will make sequels and spin offs and no one will be the wiser.

    God this industry sucks sometimes.

    @vid3oman64: I don't think those kids can really afford a game that's $120.

    I'm betting this fails. People will spend that much on Guitar Hero, because Guitar Hero is cool. But this is just positively lame, and there's been barely any press on it, so they basically fucked themselves. No worries, though.

    Sounds about in line with everything I've heard everywhere else, yep. Giant Bomb's Quick Look of the game doomed it for me; as soon as I saw how unresponsive it was, I knew the game was doomed.

    @Taggart6: Is it at least playable with the balance board? If not then it was dumb to NOT include the support. Maybe it would control better this way and be more than just a crappy attempt at making cash with a useless peripheral...

    I might have to get a 360 elite in these sales seeing as I have some 360 games from when both my idiot younger brothers both bought 360's and then both sold them.

    Apparently the hat makes you look like a list of 4-5 different celebrities, judging by the comments below. I need to get one of those.

    @Taggart6: I don't always drink beer, but when I do...:

    You're smart shopping from home on Black Friday. I went out to all the big stores... there wasn't really anything so spectacular you couldn't go pick up on Amazon or even the brick and mortar stores' own websites for a similar price. I could have been trampled at Wal-Mart for a 98 dollar DS (mine broke). Got the one I wanted (in blue!) from Amazon on Wednesday during their sales week.

    Hoping you enjoy your PS3! Gonna go home to mine tonight for some more of my boy Ezio before the big MNF game.

    Congrats on snagging that deal! Those console bundles were notoriously hard to get (from what I hear from my buddies).

    (psst, you should totally add danterandal19 on PSN if you want some Killzone competition. Just saying.)
