Do any of these game developers actually make any profit from making Kinect games? I just don't get it, 90% of what's released is just just embarrassing.
Wow a 9/10 looks like I'll be buying another Kinect game this year, to go with Child of Eden. Hope other developers are taking note of these recent releases on how to make a playable Kinect game.
So When the Kinect first came out there were really only 2 must have titles Kinect Sports & Dance Central. A year later and the must have titles are Kinect Sports 2 & Dance Central 2...Not exactly been a good year for Kinect games. not to worry as Christmas 2012 we can play version 3 of these games!!
I'm still waiting for the first one to be released in the UK?? My kids keep asking for it. So will this version be released in UK? well if its an improvement on the original then its worth the wait I guess.
Well done! Most stuff so far on Kinect is rubbish but you just cant beat the Kinect for fitness programs, when a good developer put in the hard work as well. Forget Wii and waving a PS3 Move controller about or watching a DVD. Kinect is the only way to go.
Being a drummer myself. I'd love to see a descent virtual Kinect drum kit. Where you could sit on a stool and the kinect would track both feet and hands perfectly to play a full size kit played through my AV amp!!
Nice to see a game for the grown ups on the Kinect, hope this turns out to be fun. I think if you play this game you'll end up looking like a zombie too, waving your arms about in frantic manner in you living room.
yep another fitness program, but spot on for being different. This could be a great success if they get it right, with many future adventure releases will keep people interested in the product for years to come.
I was surprised I actually quite like this game. Well my kids like it more of course. Though the annoying cometary and the evil looking monkey is hard to endure.
Shame not a good score, as with most Kinect game reviews...My kids are desperate for this game, though not available in the UK yet and no mention when it will be released. I'll prob still buy it for the kids if its cheap.
I find setting up my Kinect in the bathroom more effective, I like to fill my bath tub quarter full, to get the effect of the rapids splashing on my feet.
Well It's either going to work or its going to make the Kinect even less responsive as its going to cover up the lenses with extra ones and add extra weight to the built in motor?
Yep I totally agree It looked like a fail from the start. A Move controller with augmented lightsaber, would be the best way to play stars wars a game I'm afraid. Though surely the Kinect could do this? leaving your left hand free for your fancy Jedi stuff...
Seems along time to me, but over the years they did do the right thing by redesigning the 360, and the Kinect brings new life to it I agree. in the same way the Move controller brought new life to the PS3. I think the next step is adding a 3D software update to help keep up with Sony. Or even sell 360's with an optional Blu-Ray built in.
At last a game that is perfect for the connect controller and a top rating for a change!! (about time) I cant imagine playing this on any other console. Though gutted the Xbox does not support 3D yet that really would make the perfect gaming experience. Oh well I assume the next Xbox will be 3D?..
Well nothing got me excited I'm afraid the voice control looked good on Mass Effect but like people here say all you need is a microphone and good software to do that not a Kinect. PC's have been capable of voice recognition since the 80's....
Sorry but having a PS3 and an Xbox I'm more looking forward to a lightsaber being used on a Move controller as its way more accurate and would feel more natural a controller in your hand, and it lights up
I agree the Kinect will a fail unless some more quality games are produced. We all know it's great fun playing family style games with other people in the same room like Dance Central and Kinect Sports etc. But the most popular games like First Person Shooters, racing games and football games etc; I don't think the Kinect is any good for. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong though. err Killzone 3 on the PS3 Move anyone??

Re: Microsoft Announces Limited Edition R2D2 Xbox 360
Looks pretty but as it's a Kinect game designed to use our hands maybe they should of supplied gold gloves instead or a gold controller.
