Just got it, and played the first 2 levels.

When I got to level 3, it requires me to lean down. It all goes to s#1$ from there. My profile is clearly visible in the lower left corner, so nothing wrong with the sensor not seeing me. But the puppet is smashing those little guys all over the place, they dont jump on the arms, and when they sometimes cling on, they dont stick when I rise. I moved the sensor two times to see if it helped, I varied the range between me and the sensor, all to no avail.

I ended up stomping out my frustration with my feet on the little guys coming out. Yes, you can kick them to death, which was something I needed because I am easily agitated when stuff "doesn't do what it is supposed to".

Sux, because I really enjoyed the first 2 levels/5 minutes of the game.

They'll have to pay me 800 msp to play this...

If I had 200 points still idling in my account I would have gotten it. Not getting 800 just to get this, and have 600 useless points left.

Anything being "unveiled" will have a pricetag. Otherwise; why would anybody go through the trouble of renting a stage for it?

Nice to see a lot of different areas are being explored by the software companies. This one will appeal to a very specific crowd I think.

This is the first kinect game I played with a smile on my face. You can play it on intuition; no weird hanging in the air with your hand, trying to figure out where kinect wants your hand to be:-))

Its colourfull, fast paced, and fun!

(Might want to play this in your shorts, cause you'll build up a sweat in no time...)

Love the way they did the trailer, with the goofy music and all..

"Dr. Blowhole"...?

9 more days till Fruit ninja, jay!!1111!!))

This looks cool!! I'm gonna be in a video game:-)))

I am not so sure kids will break their piggybanks over this...

Check out Jackass 3.5 for a lot more Phantom cam action - hilarious stuff:-))

That golden controller is awesome

@ Chuckyj; If it works I'll be picking up one too! But I will wait untill a few reviews are out there first.

This is where the "Kinect Adventures" rubber boat comes in handy; fill it with water and you are ready to go!

...My hands sometimes locked up after building for hours on end... I wonder what would happen to me when mining using kinect!

Thanks for the movie Dirtyvu; I like how the responsiveness can be checked in this one (cause you can see the guy vs whats happening on the screen:-))

Omg my friends are gonna be so jealous when I get this one!1!!

@ userwords; dont forget that a lot of kids have an xbox in their rooms. Generally kids rooms arent known for their spaciousness, so having something that would narrow down the required floorspace would be awesome for them! And world overpopulation isnt something that should pop into your mind when talking about an add-on to an add-on for a gaming console. Chill out.

Everything must have a beginning somewhere. If this is the beginning for fps-kinect, then I can only applaud whatever effort they've made to get it to work. I love games like MW2 & BF2, and if this game right here is the start to kinect integration into shooters; then maybe somewhere down the line the "big" shooters will learn and improve on it, and also mix it into their games. Maybe small things; like moving your "imaginary" nightvision goggles from your forehead to your eyes, yelling for a medic, stuff like that...

...I really wonder how some games (and movies for that matter), are brought into this world.

A group of people worked on this for months, then sat together on the final day, and played this game. They must have looked at each other like "wtf did we just make?!?"

But, having allready spent a lot of cash on it, they had no choice but to release it, and hope that the expenses made would be covered for the largest part.

Doesnt stuff like this have to pass a final review board or something? A final authority that has the power to stop games from coming into existence?

If I had been in an emotional mood while watching this video, I would most likely have shut down my computer, and walked over to the window, where I would have stood motionless for about 5 minutes, pondering upon the uselessness of mankind as a whole...

Well I am pretty sure this "Nyko" wasnt going to pay a zillion dollars to microsoft to get endorsed, to we'll just have to wait and see if it works..

I want a cool Boba Fett edition...

Not everybody gets to live in Spain, where a big house can be bought for 3 cows and some chickenlegs...

@ James Looking forward to the report. And I think the "green" is merely there for cool looks in the adds....

....Hope some webshops will ship to europe

Great invention!

There's a bonus included when you train at the "top/expert" level. Every time you get a A+ rating on an exercize you've completed, Ariane Celeste gives a little dancing show, taking off a piece of skimpy clothing every time!

Can't wait to finish all of them..

So a black and white, dogfaced hamsterhorse..... I think I'll be laughing rather than bawwing at this one...

Thanks!

Read the reviews, ran (well, drove really fast) to the store and got it:-)

hey soaduk, link to the review please? I'd like to see why they thought so highly of it (this title is releasing tomorrow here in the netherlands).

If you turn off the music; it loses it charm.

I think the kinect firmware updates will be installed through a regular "xbl-update" session. In other words I don't think you'll get a kinect specific download you have to get or something.

I woule definitely get this, if the original power rangers hadn't convinced me the lowest level of tv-show quality had been reached

...this is going to be awesome...

When other console manufacturers (sony, basically), come out with a brand new, graphically superior machine in the near future, I don't see how xbox could lag behind by not releasing a new one... And I kind off want to get a new console every now and again, if only to have the idea that things are moving forward..

I can't wait that long!1!!

I don't care about the price really; I've spent much more money on games I didnt play at all in the end, and I am sure I'll play this one...

@James Thanks..

Nice:-)

I want it!

Can't really get a clear release date though; some sites say it released on the 6th this month, others say somewhere in juli.

ah, not ALL of them! I like laying on my sofa playing shooters! I have a pretty hard job; and kicking back and play a game is what I really love after coming out of the shower all exhausted and stuff.

....Blackwater bullets must hurt a lot more than officially sanctioned bullets....

and come on; we can play being the Nazi's too... I'm sure they were a bit more politically incorrect than blackwater?

..If only we could have; BF3 graphics, MW3 gameplay, and this Ghost Recon Kinect control system...)

cool...!

I hope there will be a playable demo of this on xbl. Right now I really like the way it looks, but I am not so sure yet it will be "playable" if you now what I mean...

I dont need "little games" to get me satisfied or something... I think we've all been given a wrong impression of what the kinect would be like, through demo's like "milo". I was expecting stuff like that to come out at the release of the sensor. I am still waiting for games like that, instead of the glitchy sports stuff. I want games that give me a deeper sense of involvement on the overall gameplay experience. I dont need stuff I could play with a controller just as well, but can be played with kinect as a novelty.

I would love to have some goggles, totally immersing me into the world I am playing in. The sensor(s) could be like both in front of me, and on the headset, keeping track of me at all time. The cam could also outline my furniture on the screens in front of my eyes in like a vague line or something, to keep me from bumping into it. Stuff like that, you know:-)...

....I am still waiting for the original Kinect gamescene to really kick off, and allready they are talking about a second one? Right now I can choose between 45% dance games and 45% sports games. I dont need another piece of plastic on my tv, I need games!

Well, honestly I am still waiting myself for the first game that I actually enjoy playing with kinect, instead of "working my way through with kinect".

It all really has this beta feel to it, where it was sold to the world as a "sure thing"

finally a game that doesnt involve either dancing or sports...
