MotionPlus first impressions
I just got back from a friend's house who just bought Tiger Wood's PGA Tour '10 that comes bundled with MotionPlus.
I should probably wait to play a decent game with MP, but that's why I said [I]first impressions.[/I]
Just fiddling around with the way the Wiimote registers movements, you do notice that twisting the Wiimote is much more precise and that leads to pretty accurate hooks and slices when you swing the club, as well as being much easier to swing at lower speeds. Wii Sports golf, I noticed, is virtually impossible to hit 100% power without slicing the ball awfully, but with MP, I was able to keep the club head straight and accurately place my ball.
There was also a disc golf mode, which I tried out and it also felt surprisingly natural, allowing you to put spins and such on the disc by rolling your wrist mid swing.
What would convince me this is worth it would be a decent game with some swordfighting, but for right now, I'm not too impressed. Although it did allow for some advanced mechanics in my golf game, it didn't really change the way the game felt somewhat unrealistic (from Wii Sports).
Time will tell, though.

It's got me interested (I think the only reason I was disappointed was because I [I]hate[/I] sports games). I'd be interested in seeing where they could take the new technology, but I'm not buying for myself until I see some conclusive evidence that I should.
