As a member of the Playstation Family, I was given a copy of Medieval Moves: Deadmund’s Quest to play and review with my kids, and I have to tell you – it was sweet to finally be able to play a game better than my kids right out of the box!
Now, I must tell you, I had a little help: at the Playstation Family retreat in November, some of the game developers showed me how to play and use the Move controller correctly. So when I came home, I was the resident expert. And I enjoyed it!
Of course, my kids are now back in their rightful place as better Gamers than I, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying Medieval Moves.
Basically, after an explanation of the story (which is rather long, in my opinion), you play the game as Deadmund (formerly Edmund, but now he’s dead, sort of), and you fight off evil skeleton henchmen by swinging the Move controller as a broadsword, using it as a shield, or doing this really cool move where you make it into a bow and arrow. My favorite.
Turns out you can be super accurate with the Move controller, which is helpful when you’re fighting henchmen, and the way you have to move your body to make it work means you’re actually working some muscles.
And when you really get into it, you’re working a lot of muscles! I end up with a sore bicep every time.
But above all, it’s fun. And my kids and I can play it together. Thumbs up here.
Medieval Moves: Deadmund’s Quest is rated E 10+.
