With Sony's Move controller now gathering pace ahead of release, we managed to see how some of the system's first games are coming together. The Fight: Lights Out is the company's Move-based fighting game, where you'll use the motion controls to beat up some of the world's best virtual fighters. But there's more to the game than simply waggling the remote controllers, as we found out in our E3 demo.

　　First up, the game will use head-tracking technology so that you can duck and weave to dodge your opponent, as well as perform head-butts. In our demo, the head tracking only worked when one person was in the frame, but the implementation was impressive, allowing you to use the whole upper frame of your body to interact with the game. You can also combine moves using this system, putting your arms up to block and attack, for example, and then countering while the opponent's guard is down.

　　You have two choices in Lights Out--to fight cleanly or to use dirty tactics. Performing moves such as head-butts, elbow shots, backhands, hammer blows, and headlocks will allow you to quickly knock down your enemy's health bar, but it's to the detriment of sportsmanship, and you'll earn less money from the fight. Money is essential to the game because you need to spend it on doctors to tend to your injuries between fights.

　　The E3 demo took place in a prison with a fight between two unnamed brawlers, but in the full game, you'll also be able to create a player and experience 12 different locations. Each location has qualifying rounds with different criteria, such as "survive for a certain time" or "win by a knockout," with a boss character to fight at the end. You'll also be able to create your own fighter after you complete the tutorial, with customisable options including body style, face, and tattoos.

　　The multiplayer component of the game will offer two-player split-screen fighting, as well as support for online play. We asked the game's producer about the possibility of lag--as the moves themselves take much longer to perform than a button press--and he said the team is currently working on it. There will also be a ranking system, as well as unranked matches, and you can earn more in-game cash by putting bets on the outcomes of online fights.

　　One of our favourite aspects of the game was the finishing move--allowing you to humiliate your opponents when they're down to their last bit of health. We saw how you can slap them around the face, but you will also be able to walk up and exhale on the PlayStation Move's mic to gently blow them to the ground. There will also be a calorie counter displayed at the end of each round, so you can keep track of the physical improvements you get from the game. The Fight: Lights Out will be released around the same time as the Move itself, so hopefully we can expect to play it before the end of the year.
