I'll go so far as to say that the genre of sports-themed minigame collections probably isn't capable of really being revolutionized, but Kinect Sports gets dangerously close, simply by virtue of doing the one thing other motion-controlling technologies haven't been able to yet: Tracking your feet.
This game is very underrated and it was so much fun back in the day! It was pretty much the Wii Sports of Xbox 360!! Loved and enjoyed this game a lot as a kid! I still play it sometimes even today :) Thank you Microsoft for this amazing exclusive!
This is Rare and Microsofts version of Wii Sports. It hasn´t got as precise control as Sports Champions or as great graphics, but it delivers on the fun part. Party Mode is an excellent addition to a solid line-up of disciplines.
The football is shoddy, avatars glitch out and every now and again and the responsiveness of the game is occasionally brought into question - but none of this stops the experience being enjoyable. To conclude then, the answer to a question that has been on everybody's lips: is Kinect Sports better than Wii Sports?... Without a doubt.
Kinect Sports show us the possibilites of Kinect, but also the flaws of it. You can have some fun with the game if you are a group of people playing, but the game lacks in the necessary precision to make it a good game.
PROS: Great for Multiplayer, pretty good response time, good graphics, decent variety in sports, provides decent excersize.
CONS: Gets boring in singleplayer, requires a pretty big room, Kinect doesn't always read the second player's movements as well.
Rating: 7/10 (good)
A surprisingly frustrating experience. Most of the games feel inaccurate and the bowling, the one that I wanted to like the most, just plain ****. I cannot believe I paid $50 for this trash when the price should have been dropped by now. Beware of this title. Kinect adventures is 10,000 times better and it is FREE.
