PlaysWithWolves

I hope you don't mind a mini-review:

I got mine the first day it was available in America, but only used it for ten minutes and just haven't gotten back to give it an extensive test.

-It's more complicated to take out of the packaging than to actually install the accessory.

-It doesn't seem to work on something that uses the player's picture. Avatar Kinect simply couldn't tell when my head matched up to the shape so it could take my picture.

-It improved greatly the Kinect's tracking for menu items, whether in-game or in-lobby.

-It improved the necessary space. No longer was I limited to just being in the "good" zone — I was able to get into the "best" zone and even had a little room to spare in my limited space.

-The one game I tried from Kinect Adventures Rally Balls seemed sluggish as I tried to hit the balls. Or was that me? I haven't played in months.

I look forward to reading Kinectaku's experience, as well as any others'.

My Zoom arrives tonight. I bought it despite the dearth of reviews, so I hope the gamble pays off.

The style reminds me of Dire Straits' Money for Nothing video, or even more so of the "Light Warfare" vid, which was painted with actual lights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SWfPoITlP8

Considering that I don't want to rearrange my living room just to be able to more-easily play Kinect games, this product sounds like it may improve fun by 40%.

If they can't make the motion spot-on, they probably should cancel the game. We want to be Jedi masters; not Jedi Octodads.

I'm afraid we'll be stuck with on-rails games until someone figures out a simple means to move in an open world.

I hope this works; we have the bare minimum for most Kinect games--It sounds like it could be a great way to give us some space.

I find myself a little less excited now.

Congratulations to them, though.
