Yeah thats what inspired me to buy it, to get a feel for how this new motion controller will work. Even though it had no idea where the sword was in 3d space it felt ok slashing away. But with a bit more work and a higher definition camera, it could track size and shape and you could interact a bit more closely with your enemies. I honestly dont see much future for this concept alone. Gameplay needs more interaction. This is what Nintendo have done right and even more so with motionplus. And Natal seems to put Your avatar on screen not a disembodied sword or football etc so it may have the right concept too.

You’re never too late for fun, Johnny.

Its interesting to see though. that this game pretty much provided the basis for the Playstation Motion Controller.

This is really weird i just got this game yesterday for 25 bucks(cheap), here in Australia (the pom pom game and this has been out for ages).
And was just looking to find some reviews. Now i know why i can’t find any. Anyway here is my take. The box has a 10 year old waving around a nerf sword so i felt slightly awkward taking it to the checkout. The sword is about 45 cm long and is brightish green, at first with normal lighting it was hard to get a reading, so i got a bedside lamp, and positioned it next to the camera and holy F*** it works. It swooshes like a lightsaber with trail behind which is about a few frames behind what you are doing, similar to motion plus but more accurate in a way and less in others. The game so far is just minigames swatting fruit then bandits. At first it was pretty poor just hit the fruit and avoid the chickens. Then you run along a pre arranged route swatting bad guys and it was getting more interesting, this was very much like the sword event in Sports Resort. Anyway i have just started playing, and for the price has been well worth it.

Sadly it’s been confirmed that the Playstation Eye is not compatible with EyeToy games.
