SORCERY
This PlayStation exclusive will have Fantasy gaming nuts (and some Harry Potter / Lord Of The Rings freaks) quite excited.
You control the lead character Finn, a sorcerer's apprentice who (naturally) gets in over his head. Accompanied by the magical cat Erline as the sense of reason, Finn's adventure begins after experimentation with a wand he stole from his sorcerer boss leads him to a mysterious cavernous fairy world. This wild, wide adventure throws spirits and undead at Finn to fight, and potions, gold, keys and many other items to collect for later use.
As the first of the 2nd generation PlayStation Move titles, utilizing that controller as your wand makes absolute sense - throwing spells (even like a curve ball) at enemies, or at objects to reveal collectibles, swirling it to open treasure chests or doors, mending broken bridges for access, levitating collapsed arches and rocks, and so forth. You can also use your new found magic shield to bash open doors or undead enemies fortified with their own shields.
(A lot of the theme is based on Irish Mythology) and Spells are bound to five elements: Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind and Lightning, and you learn as you progress (with potions essential to restore health, most of it sapped by powerful level villains).
Fans of the Fable games could easily get into this.
