I have never felt so cool holding a video game accessory. I played House of the Dead Overkill with this gun and it REALLY enhances the immersion in the game. From the pump action reloading to the satisfying trigger pulls, you have no idea how fun PlayStation Move games can be until you pair them with one of these.
Literally the same day I received this accessory and played with it, I ordered another one so I could do 2 player games with both of us using one of these.
I previously bought some of the pistol-type accessories, and they're cool too, but once you try one of these it's hard to go back to a boring pistol.
I also like the spot for the Move Navigation controller. I thought those were pointless since you can just use a normal Sixaxis/DualShock 3 controller to navigate, but I ended up buying one anyway just to "complete" this accessory. It makes it much easier to navigate menus and adds some good weight to the bottom of it. Some Move games (such as Killzone 3) you really need it to play at all since it's not really workable to use a DualShock analog stick with the Sharp Shooter for anything but menu navigation.
You will need to check compatibility before buying any games though. Some games utilize this better than others. My favorite so far is House of the Dead Overkill. Other pretty good ones are Killzone 3 (non-on-rails games like this need the navigation controller for movement), Socom 4, Resistance 3, Time Crisis, and The Shoot. Mag used to be, but it was online only and the servers have since been killed. Some games like Sports Champions 1 & 2, and Toy Story Mania are really great Move games, but don't have any kind of good integration with this peripheral. For example, Toy Story is basically a shooting game, but the buttons are arranged kind of dumb, and even if the Move controller is in the gun, you'll still use your thumb on top of the controller to shoot instead of being able to use the peripheral's trigger.
But for games that fully or mostly support it, this thing is AWESOME.

The best video game controller ever. Plus a fix for the rattling.
I've always gone straight to first person shooters at the arcade, but I've always had a problem when I want to play a first person shooter at home. The standard game system controllers for home consoles aren't built to feed the need of a first-person-shooter gamer. This PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter is the end-all-be-all gun controller. I've never had an experience as immersive as when I used the Sharp Shooter. I bought Killzone 3 to try out the gun, and I beat the game in under 10 hours. Accuracy was amazing, the vibration made the gun feel realistic, the reallocation of the buttons felt natural, and the reload functions made the experience 1,000 times better.The only issue I had was that after about 6-8 hours of use, the top move controller cover began to rattle. It's not terrible, but it does get pretty annoying. I fixed this by applying a few small cut strips of foam tape underneath where the top move controller goes. Don't apply the tape where the other standard small square foam is already placed. This seems to have fixed the issue quite well. No more rattling. To the point where other people in the room weren't sure if the vibration function was on or not. I posted a picture of the foam tape application for reference. You can easily find the tape at a hardware store. Make sure that the foam tape is 1/8" thick. Any thicker will not work.This is a good example of foam tape to use: Speaker Gasketing Tape 1/8" x 1/2" x 50 ft. RollI hope this helps!
