Family Friendliness: GamerPops.com:  PlayStation Move Heroes is like a recipe made up of great ingredients that never quite tastes right. The combination of three popular franchises, the use of the Move controller, and some creative gameplay suggests a better end result, but the  lack of a real focus in PlayStation Move Heroes could become an issue for parents, as it’s not entirely apparent who this game is meant for, and there are many different types of gameplay. As far as minigame-type outings go, this isn’t necessarily the most accessible to younger gamers, because the Move controls are more difficult than the average game in this genre. However, the lowest level of difficulty in the challenges are appropriate to all ages of gamer.  

Highlights:
- PlayStation Move Heroes is meant as a showcase for the capability of the Move’s controllers in a less-waggly, more core gaming way, while still being accessible to the waggle crowd, and for the most part, it works as planned.

- PlayStation Move Heroes features five different Game Types and five different Weapon Types, and creates its game modes by playing mix and match.
Lowlights:
- Lack of identity - PlayStation Move Heroes feels like a standard waggle-filled minigame collection that wants to be more, but doesn’t want to make the effort.

- Characters will appeal to an older core audience who have been playing with them for a few years, and could be largely unfamiliar to the 10 year-olds that might be giving the game a try.
