What's in the box: Assault rifle controller, PlayStation Move controller cradle, two AA batteries and a USB dongle.Billed as an all-in-one, enhanced solution for PlayStation Move's upcoming slate of first-person shooter titles, the CTA Digital Assault rifle combines the Move's navigation controller functions with a cradle under the barrel for the replica Longines L3.632.4.58.2 Men's Watch Move controller itself. The idea is to make moving and firing your weapon more accurate and more intuitive by using a familiar object. But chances are, an assault rifle is anything but familiar to most who'd consider using this.
The BasicsCTA Digital has built some quirky and charming peripherals to bring console video gaming out of the orthodoxy of its current controller setup. Bowling balls, footballs, steering wheels, the shop in Brooklyn is an idea factory constantly looking for ways to give gamers a more tactile feeling of playing the games they enjoy. This is what they've made for shooters.Using ItThe Assault Rifle Controller comes in four segments a stock, a scope, an under-barrel cradle for a PlayStation Move controller, and the body of an replica Longines L3.509.4.76.2 WoMen's watch automatic weapon. The scope is cosmetic. Fitting all of it together is . The cradle has a separate trigger that fits astride the main one, and is used to activate the S button on a PlayStation Move controller (which is the firing control). Batteries go in the handle. Place a dongle in one of the PS3's USB slots, flip the power switch to “On” and press the rifle's “Home” button, and it's good to go.
What We LikedWell, it's fun to hold and pose with it.What We Didn't LikePractically everything. The box says the controller is “compatible with Call of Duty: Modern Ware 2; Call of Duty: Black Ops, Killzone 3, SOCOM 4 [and] MAG.” Of those, MAG is the only currently available title with PlayStation Move support. Only in the most literal sense is the compatible with the two Call of Duty titles, in that it has all of the working buttons of a replica Longines L3.633.4.76.6 Men's Watches DualShock controller spread across an assault rifle body. But it's no more “compatible” with that game than Madden NFL 11. Trying to play Black Ops with it was a disorienting mess, especially for a game with so many set pieces and QuickTime events. In no case do I recommend this controller for it or any game without Move support.
