I heard of this last week whilst visiting Game Crazy, and the fellow had no clue what it was.

So. A golf game packaged with a controller that senses your movement? Could be really cool. Could suck really hard.

And, could be hard to find in the future. I'd keep an eye one this one.

Interesting, seems like the next step up from the controllers they released for the Genesis and SNES years ago. Did anyone ever try those? Did they even work?

I may have to watch this as well, since I am a golf game whore.

Ugh, Why the heck won't they just make Golden Tee 2K6 with Trackball controller?

Seriously! It' ain't that hard!

This is the type of thing that is going to ROCK on the gamecube. The damn thing will sell a ton JUST for realistic golf games. Hell, I could finally learn how to play golf with this

Bowling would work pretty well too for that matter. And tennis.

I didn't know this game was released for Xbox? Anyway, i have the PS2 version. Or at least, i paid for it. Won the game + gametrak for pretty cheap on eBay, but i still have to pick it up. So i don't have any first-hand experience with it yet

However, i do have Dark Wind (also with gametrak). See http://www.in2games.uk.com/consumer/englishindex.html for some info. It's basically a FPF (first person fighter). Although the idea is neat, it does have some problems. Blocking is extremetly hard because you have to raise your hands to specific area's shown on your screen. The problem is that this only works if your screen is at the same height as your hands. If it's not, it's not really intuitive where you should put your hands. But for the rest it's a pretty decent game. You can also do magic for example by raising your hands in the air and make certain gestures. The accuracy of the gametrak is also pretty good.

Looks pretty neat from the videos and such. About 10+ years ago I remember playing with a similar controller on PC and it worked pretty well, but required a good amount of space to swing the damn thing. It's nice to see that this one is reasonably sized.

Unfortunatly, the game is priced a little out of my price range so I'm going to have to hope it drops a bit

Xavix anyone?

It's actually quite responsive, but you pretty much have to be good at golf to beging with (unlike me). It came out in UK a while ago, as I think, so did the baseball one? They also have plans for a sword-fight type game.

Roffle. That sounds like my little cousin.

I saw this at an EB i was honestly shocked at seeing something like this controller, I would love to try it out but like Chris said it could be good or really bad.

I would love to play a sword fight type of game that would rock

I have had good luck getting stuff from Mad Catz in the past, so hopefully BC will get a chance to give this a full review. I can't wait to see it.
