1. An interactive game apparatus for at least one player to manipulate a game in progress, the interactive game apparatus comprising:
- a game controller comprising;
at least one first motion sensor suitable for directly detecting a first motion signal from a motion of the player;
at least one second motion sensor suitable for directly detecting a second motion signal from the motion of the player;
a processor coupled to the first motion sensor and the second motion sensor, said processor being suitable for selecting the first motion signal or the second motion signal to process according to a current manipulation status so as to output at least one control signal wherein said processor is configured to activate one or both of the first and second motion sensors in response to a game control requirement of the game; and
a digital signal processor suitable for compressing and filtering the first motion signals from the first motion sensor, wherein said digital signal processor and the first motion sensor are integrated into an IC;
a game host receiving the control signal outputted from said processor of said game controller, said game host having a game control module suitable for executing a game program and outputting at least one response signal; and
a user control circuit suitable for allowing the player to set at least one of a parameter, a play mode and a condition of the game through bi-directional communications between said game controller and said game host.

Abstract
An interactive game apparatus includes a game host and a game controller. The game host includes a game control module capable of running a game program and receiving at least one response signal outputted from the game control. The game controller includes a first motion sensor, a second motion sensor and a processor. The first motion sensor detects motion signals of the play, and the second motion sensor also detects motion signals. Furthermore, the processor includes a determination circuit determining the timing for activating either the first motion sensor or the second motion sensor.
