Perfect for when you have people over who aren't into video games, fun WITH others, there's not much point playing alone
User Rating: 7 | Kinect Sports X360
I don't play the Kinect at all, however when I have people over, they're usually interested in checking it out, and this, besides Kinect Adventures is the only game I pop into the 360 for some multiplayer fun. I hope the Kinect at some point will be able to give us amazing hardcore games delivering unique experiences, for now, this is what the Kinect does best, provide fun minigames best enjoyed in company with friends and family. You'll look ridicilous playing the game, so don't take yourself too seriously and the character on screen will look like a total spastic from time to time as well. There are a number of minigames and various sports to compete in here. Bowling, frankly, I had more fun playing Wii Bowling, but it's decent, boxing I didn't like, kids who played the game seemed to enjoy this one the most though, Table Tennis was fun enough and one of the better inclusions, Beach Volleyball is okay as well, Football wasn't that much fun, could've just had a penalty kick minigame. The best part for me, by far is the Track & Field game with longjumping, sprinting and other stuff, this is where I had the most fun and got a good workout on top of it all with all the running and jumping over hurdles. This is where Kinect Sports and the Kinect itself shines. I don't know what to say about Kinect Sports other than that it is fun with friends over, and not much fun by yourself. It's a winner when it comes to multiplayer, social gamers with friends who don't like video games can't get a much better deal than this. It is the ONLY Kinect game that's impressed me somewhat thus far, I think I might check out the sequel, at some point in time, unfortunately my current apartment doesn't have enough room for the Kinect, and can we have some really awesome single-player Kinect game soon?
