The PS3 has been part of our household for about 6 months now -- but I'll have to admit, despite the wide range of games available, my main PS3 testers have been my kids. So far, the one game I've really enjoyed is Everybody Dance -- but with the introduction of Start the Party! Save the World, I've found another game I can play again and again!
Start the Party! Save the World launched last month on the PlayStation Network, and we've been enjoying it ever since. Not just my kids, but the whole family! Because it utilizes the PlayStation Move system instead of the incredibly-complicated-at-least-to-people-over-age-35 Dualshock controller, anyone can figure out how to play it. The games aren't role-playing games that require hours and hours of play; they are pretty short and simple games, so they're ideal for parties.
About Start the Party! Save the World
Your PlayStation®Move motion controller is about to turn into some of the craziest gadgets imaginable in Start the Party!™ Save the World on the PlayStation®3 system. From the depths of the ocean to skyscraper rooftops, Dr. Terrible is wreaking havoc - pick up your motion controller and battle with this devious enemy. - Grab your PlayStation®Move motion controller and prepare to battle Dr. Terrible in a series of hilarious mini-games. - See yourself on-screen as you use your motion controller to scoop up fish, swat flies and rescue lost divers. - Challenge up to three friends on PS3, take down an evil villain and save the world in four different game modes.
You can play Start the Party! Save the World in solo mode or party mode (up to 4 people). Whichever mode you choose, you'll be playing one of 20 mini-games, or a randomized combination of them.





One little featurette I absolutely love is seeing the other players become part of the game. Sometimes they become the characters being rescued, other times they just wander in and out of the screen as the game is being played. It makes things a lot more interesting for people who aren't taking a turn at the moment because they get to see their characters involved in the game.


I'd love to see is the ability to post photos of our characters, or snapshots taken during the game, to a social media channel, such as Facebook or Pinterest or Flickr -- but right now I can't even figure out a way to save these characters for another game, let alone share them. Right now, we have to take photos and set up the characters every time we play. If anyone knows how to do this, please share -- these photos are way too adorable too keep to ourselves!

We rented the first Start the Party game awhile back and my youngest is always asking for it back, so the sequel would be great to have.
I haven't played many PS Move games but my favorite is Pain (PSN). It can be used in some of the game modes and 3 PS Move exclusive modes.
Hurray for more Start the Party the last one gave me and my friends quite a competition. Oh my favorite PS Move game so far is Little Big Planet Prehistoric Move!
The original "Start the Party" is the family's favorite. I also play "EyePet" with the kids but, it's not quite as fun or user-friendly. "tumble" is another cool PS Move game on the PSN!
