Motion Pak

Our first experience with portable motion control came by way of this Motion Pak, used to play Tony Hawk's Motion and Hue Pixel Painter. They did a remarkable job to get this thing to work flawlessly and your in game character picks up every tilt and turn of your DS with this device. There was no way to play Tony Hawk's Motion without it which some didn't like. Thankfully the motion works well so I had no problem pulling off the most advanced tricks. Only caveat was sometimes during difficult stages I would be tilting the DS in all directions, altering my field of view constantly. Great device, just wish it was used in more games. Now with built in motion coming for the 3DS, I'm sure many more games will be motion compatible.

This is weird. Made by Activision... whats the other game that uses it like?

Hue Pixel Painter is kind of like de blob where you have to roll your character around the level coloring things. de blob is a bit better but for a free side game I wasn't disappointed.

Wow I have seen Motion Pak like this but never this one. I wonder if it's the same thing or a bit special about this.

Sounds interesting but since it uses the GBA slot I wouldn't be able to get one. That's probably why developers didn't utilise it because of the DSi.

I was a little sad that Activision didn't support it with more titles themselves!

I remember playing Tony Hawk Motion on the plane once. I probably looked like a idiot moving my DSi all over the place.

Even with built in motion on 3DS, it seems they don't use it much and probably because 3D can't effectively be used if you're moving your unit all around.
