May 25, 201269Sorcery is a charming adventure. But in the end you'll remember too much hectic destruction and too little mysterious magic.
-
May 21, 201275One of the best PlayStation Move games, but I think most gamers will question why and how Sorcery took so long to create. With a short adventure, no replay value and no online functionality to speak of, Sorcery is a one-off. A fun one-off, for sure, but a one-off that likely won't push PlayStation Move controllers off the shelves.

May 22, 201280On the one hand, this game really shows how the Move can be extremely entertaining, even if it doesn't necessarily showcase its technological capability. There's also the lovely presentation and style, which I adore, and the variety, accessibility, and pacing that really turned out great. On the other hand, it's too short, the advanced spells don't always work, and adults may find it a tad underwhelming.
-
May 21, 201260The best non-sports game so far for the PlayStation Move, but there still seems to be plenty of magic left untapped on what is an unnecessarily brief experience.
-
May 21, 201260For those desperate to use their Move controllers in something exclusively centered around the Move, Sorcery provides a few hours of inanity that can be gratifying, if in a slightly underwhelming way. Still, the game's chaotic camera and unwieldy controls can frustrate, not to mention the alarming tendency for the PS Move to need consistent recalibration.
-
May 30, 201270With Sorcery, the PS Move comes back to life, offering a diversified gameplay. Despite some minor problems, the title remains entertaining thanks to the great use of the PS Move controller and a thrilling adventure. Sorcery is not the best game of 2012 on PS3 for sure, but from now on, players have good reasons to get the PS Move out of the drawer.
-
May 21, 201288The best Move game available, and one of the best motion game experiences on any platform I've experienced.
-
Jun 8, 201247If you're absolutely desperate for a Move game you could do worse, but Sorcery is really nothing more than a relatively irritating, disappointing curio.
-
Jun 2, 201245Aggravating combat overwhelms the elements that could have made Sorcery enjoyable.
-
May 30, 201260Explore a fantasy world, create potions and battle monsters in this motion controlled adventure game. The Move controller actually works fine until it has to be used in battle.
-
May 25, 201280It is not the ultimate PlayStation Move, but it makes great use of its possibilities in an adventure oriented to traditional users. One of the first Move games that can appeal to hardcore players.
-
May 23, 201270Truly the best "real" game PS Move has seen since its release. Too bad it's quite short and it doesn't deliver the full-scale of its creators vision.
-
May 21, 201255Sorcery is like baking a cake, but with only a teaspoon of sugar, one egg, a pinch of flour, and a tablespoon of baking powder; all of the ingredients are there, but there's not enough of each ingredient to make the magical game that PlayStation Move owners have been looking for.
-
May 21, 201270If anything, it's the Move controller rather than that clumsy apprentice or his mysterious cat that emerges as Sorcery's true star. If you're an eight-year-old kid, this short burst of adventure is going to offer you an afternoon or two of vivid fantasy with a wand in your hand and an arsenal of spells in your head, and your only major complaint will be that it doesn't last a few hours longer.
-
Jun 4, 201270PlayStation Move has struggled to find defining software that justifies its existence, but Sorcery represents the most ambitious attempt yet. Its seamless integration of natural motion controls makes it the best example of Move's potential to date, and while the campaign lacks replay value, it's still worth experiencing if you want to put Sony's underutilised wand to use.
-
Jun 1, 201270Anyone with a Move controller and even a marginal interest in fantasy and magic should give this a shot. It might not be the best game around, but it is one of the best Move games, especially for the younger players.
-
May 29, 201270It's got decent motion controls that give you a unique handle on the action, and while the cartoonish nature and linear structure won't put this game anywhere near the likes of Skyrim (or even Fable) on the RPG halls of fame, PS Move owners have plenty of reasons to go ahead and give Sorcery a go.
-
May 29, 201275In the end, Sorcery is an enjoyable game that can be played by both adults and children alike. Just be warned that the difficulty level is a little on the easier side and it should take most gamers around 8 or so hours to complete.
-
May 28, 201275Sorcery offers a very cool way of using the PlayStation Move and brings a funny story suitable for any age. That is why it is a shame that he rest of the game offers very little content. The story is about zeven hours long and doesn't trigger the player to keep playing. Overall it's still a game that every Move-owner should get a taste of.
-
May 25, 201283So, in the end, I had a good time with Sorcery and was glad that The Workshop was able to put together a quality PlayStation Move fantasy action title. It has some really nice ideas, along with solid Move controls, and is worth looking into if you're in the market for some PS Move magic.
-
May 25, 201260In the end, it is a charming, refreshing look at a Move-world, that could have been. But presumably - maybe out of fear of its own target audience - it refrains from realizing its potential and lets you go a little bit enchanted, but also decidedly unsatisfied.
-
May 24, 201265Sorcery is not what we are waiting for. The magic wand works, unfortunately terrible camera and a short and boring campaign ruin the well devised combat system.
-
May 24, 201276Solid execution of motion controls makes this a delight to play. Your only objection will come from your own exhaustion of wizardry.
-
May 24, 201270Sorcery is a good game that - despite low expectations - brings a fresh breeze into the genre and perhaps will become a source for new solutions in arcade games in general. PS Move's potential is used almost in its entirety and hopefully it will mark the beginning of high quality games for this controller.
-
May 23, 201260Move's killer title it isn't, but there's some fun to be had out of the spell combos and potion-mixing.
-
May 23, 201260Sold at quite a reasonable price, Sorcery is a very nice little game for kids, with nice music melodies, pretty environments, and fun gameplay mechanics. The PS Move still remains somewhat imprecise sometimes (even though the game does most of the targetting for you), but the most important shortcoming of the game is probably its lack of variety.
-
May 22, 201271Sorcery embraces the Move's functionality to deliver something only possible with gesture-based controls, even if they're still not quite optimal. It's unfortunate that Sony couldn't muster a more complete package with extra content and incentives to come back after completing the single player mode.
-
May 22, 201280A thought that kept coming back to me was that maybe this game should've been released along with the Move controller to give it a stronger launch. Perhaps, but the fact remains. Sorcery is an entertaining game.
-
May 22, 201280Although it has a short campaign and lack of replay value, Sorcery is the best title for the PlayStation Move and it's full of quality.
-
May 22, 201260The gimmick driven combat system holds Sorcery back, as fun quickly turns to frustration after each misfire from your wand. And this is a shame given the predictable, but charming story that Sorcery tries to tell through vibrant characters and the beautiful world they occupy.
