Ever dreamt of being a sports man. Now its time!
Football, playing football using Kinect is good. All you have to do is just stand in the same position and wait for the ball, then kick it to pass or score. To tackle the ball just have to place your leg in the place where your opponent kicks it. There is a indicator to where the opponent is trying to kick. Overall the football is a competitive and a fun game. If played against Champions or other players.
Bowling, its not that kind of sweating game but it makes us think a lot, just like real bowling planning, where do you want place you ball to hit the pins. After planning, execution is vital you will have to do it concentrating well to get a strike or a spare. Playing bowling against four players is purely fun, the player with the most points wins! But playing with the NPC is hard especially Professional or Champions. It needs some practise to be a good player.
Boxing, this is a game the for real men. Even though you do not feel the force of the punches but you can feel it on your hands. It starts to hurt a lot after playing 3 rounds against other players or Champion NPC. Anyway this boxing anybody can play. If your angry about someone just play this game. Versus him or her and bash them! The moves are simple you just have to hit him and do not let him hit you. Boxing is a stress reliever!
Track and field, consists of 100m Sprint, Javelin, Discus, Long Jump, Hurdles. The winner of the whole event is determined by calculating the points they get in every event, the player with the highest points wins! The 100m sprint, a hard one you have to run in your place lifting your knees high up and quick to run fast. If you bend down during the start and the finish you could earn a boost ending up in getting a head start and good finish. It is very challenging to win against Champions. Javelin throw, a tactical one that requires you to hold the Javelin at the side and throw it high and far with a good run at the start. The throw must be done when the running path turns green if failed and you run over the line it is a foul throw. Sometimes it may get frustrating, as the Javelin might just go off your hand before you release it. That is one of the sensing problem of Kinect, but sometimes only. Discus is almost the same as Javelin but you do not have to run, Just stand there and throw as far as possible. Long jump, it is hard but could be done easily if you know the tactics. First you will have to run as fast as possible then when the running path turns green, jump as far as possible the further you jump the more points you get. But if you failed to jump when the path is in green colour and jump later it is a foul. The last event is the Hurdles. Running in the hurdles event is the same as 100m Sprint, run and jump on the spot when the hurdles turn green. It is not hard to do that but you will have to continue all the way till end. Quite a tiring one though. And you could make world records and personal best in all these event. Worthwhile playing.
Volleyball, this is my favourite! It has good moves like blocking and spiking! Although you do not have to run around, it makes you sweat a lot because of jumping to serve and spike. In this game you have to control your moves. Wait for the moment to spike or just hit the ball a little to score as, if the opponent is near the net you will have to hit it hard but, if they are far away from the net just tap the ball to score. 7 points that will take you to victory! Easy controls and cool moves makes this a great Kinect Sports game. Play it anytime you want and as many time it just does not disappoint you.
Table tennis, Obviously a challenging one if played against Champion difficulty. Unfortunately there is no racket to hold on. But could use our hands, great idea! There is a lot of spinning and smashing that we can do in this game. For spinning we have to just swing our hand over the body or do a slice to the ground, it responds well to all the moves. But only one thing, the back hand shot is a tricky one to do as the Kinect does not sense stretching to our far right or left. Never mind that, it is purely fun it smash, if your opponent hits the ball too slowly you could reach out in front and go for the smash. Pow! there you go. A point. 11 points to win.
There are other mini games, for all the sport to play and get your best score. The party games are cool to lets you and your friends to play in groups if there is a party going on in your house. Overall Kinect Sports is a game that you must have!
