The perfect game to be bundled with Kinect: funny and with a very good graphical side.
Kinect Adventures succeeds in providing a worthwhile tech demo, although unless you take a liking to two of the game's five activities, you'll most likely become bored after a few days.
While the individual minigames offer varying degrees of entertainment, they all nail the controls - or lack thereof - pretty well. There's definitely a bit of a learning curve, and the inherent limitations of the designed-for-the-living-room tech means lag issues occasionally pop up, but overall Adventures succeeds in effectively immersing you in its gamepad-free fun.
Kinect Adventures does a wonderful job at showing off the tech. It is a game that can be played for some quick solo fun, but the fast paced action is better enjoyed with a friend.
Once the novelty has worn off - which will only take a couple of goes with lesser games like 20,000 Leaks - you'll never want to play any of them again.
It seems as if Kinect Adventures is included with Kinect to showcase the capabilities of the device rather than provide any substantial gaming experience. It's a game that's fun in short bursts, but requires a ton of space for two-player multiplayer. Admittedly, Kinect Adventures starts off quite well as the Kinect bundle software, but after an hour it demonstrates its lack of depth once you realise that you've pretty much seen and done everything.
Wii Sports was fun and showed what was great about its new control scheme. Kinect Adventures, on the other hand, is dull, boring and gives a wrong impression about Kinect.
Summary Kinect Adventures is a compilation of games for the Xbox 360's motion-sensing accessory Kinect. It will include river rush, which is a rafting simulation.
