Foster City, March 22, 2010– Sony Computer Entertainment America, LLC (SCEA) today announced the release of PlayStation® Move Heroes available exclusively for PlayStation®3 (PS3™) for use with the PlayStation® Move motion control system. This new release, priced at $39.99, features memorable characters, locations, weapons, and enemies from three of PlayStation’s most iconic franchises – Sly Cooper®, Ratchet & Clank®, and Jak and Daxter. PlayStation Move Heroes delivers a unique experience that allows casual gamers, franchise fans, and families alike, the opportunity to step into the game and become one these legendary characters as they smash, hurl, and shoot their way through intergalactic challenges.
Using a PlayStation® Move motion controller and a PlayStation® Move navigation controller, play as Ratchet, Clank, Sly, Bentley, Jak, or Daxter, each with their own signature personalities and voiced by their original voice actors. Assembled together for the very first time, the heroes are invited to compete in the “Inter-Universal Hero Games”, but they quickly discover that this friendly competition takes on a whole new adventure when they must band together against a mysterious alien duo who threatens the galaxy.
In this cross-over title, the PlayStation Move delivers engaging, pick-up-and play mechanics like bowling, flying a disc, cracking a whip, shooting a gun, or performing melee attacks. While simple and intuitive enough for the casual gamer, the gameplay offers a more competitive edge for core gamers. With over 50 missions that are easy to grasp but challenging to master, as well as worldwide PlayStation® Network leaderboards, trophies, and collectables, this title offers a deep replay value for hours of entertainment that whole family can enjoy.
PlayStation® Move Heroes also features a local co-operative mode which allows two people to play as one of the franchises’ dynamic duos – Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, or Sly & Bentley – as they strategically work together to complete missions, attack enemies and collect power-ups. Ideal for families, the co-op mode gives parents and seasoned gamers the chance to play along with younger children as they introduce them to the fun and interactive gameplay, nostalgic characters, and wonderfully vibrant graphics.
Also shipping on March 22, is the PlayStationMove Heroes software bundle, exclusively available at Toys “R” Us retailers for $99.99.
