Hi There/House of the Dead 4

[ElkinFencer10]

Hi everyone!  I just got told about this site from a friend on Racketboy.com, and since I'm a huge House of the Dead fan, I figured I'd drop by here.  So I guess I'll give a short intro.  I'm Stephen, I'm a junior at Appalachian State University studying history and political science, and I'm a (relatively for my circle of friends) big game collector.  I'll post a link to my Backloggery page if anyone is curious and/or wants to add me there.

Anyway, I had a question about House of the Dead 4.  I just got my PS3 a couple months ago, so I've been wanting to download House of the Dead 4, but I was wondering how important to gameplay Playstation Move is.  I know it, obviously, adds a lot, but is it so different that it's not even worth getting if I don't have PS Move?  I know I don't even like playing House of the Dead on my Saturn without a light gun, but I like Lethal Enforcers 2 on my Sega CD just fine with a gamepad, so I wasn't sure, and I figured this would be the best place to ask for opinions.

The PS move gives the game more of a arcade feel. While playing a couple of playthroughs in HotD4, I let my partner (family members) use the Move and they end up having better accuracy then the actually PS3 controller.
