The PlayStation Move has generally seen games tailored towards light gaming and family audiences. With The Fight: Lights Out, Sony is attempting to take the Move towards the more hardcore gamers. So is this fighting game worth your time and money? Read on to find out.
The game starts out with a pretty comprehensive character creation mode, which is followed by a series of inexplicably ridiculous video tutorials hosted by Danny Trejo. This is an ominous sign of things to come. The game tries laughably hard to appear hardcore and edgy by including Trejo doing some magnificently campy gameplay demonstrations, but fails miserably. These tutorials take you back to the horrendous videos that games on older consoles used to have.
Curiously, the game makes you calibrate your controller before every single fight. The tutorials take you through the basic gameplay mechanisms such as throwing punches and ducking and weaving. However, this is not as easy as it sounds, because the controller often loses the preset calibrations and only regains it after much furious button mashing. Even punching – a mechanism that should’ve been fairly natural using the PS Move is done poorly. No matter how many furious punches you throw, your character reacts on screen with the agility of an arthritis patient. Hit detection is abysmal, and when the punches do eventually connect, they often look like a pat on the back.
If you want to move, you have to hold down the Move button on the controller and tilt it either side-to-side or forward. But since the game requires you to be stationary at all times, even moving slightly off the mark will cause your already poor hit detection to drop even further. And most of your opponents will dodge your attacks either by circle-strafing or plain moving backwards. This will mean that most of your time will be spent playing catch-up, rather than doing any actual fighting. Read more »
