Kinect (incl. Kinect Adventures)

great device, works well with 360 US version. the sensor is well-developed! kinect is the new generation of game!

it has to be one of the most remarkable inventions for 21st century videogaming, it's a must have for any gamer worth his salt. it's time to get interactive n sweat it out with your x360. Absolutely incredible!! the only scary thing about it is that bill gates has his sights right into your living room!!!

I find the kinect a cool addition, no controller needed all can be done using Kinect. It is surly a bit strange in the beginning but later feels more natural. As a veteran Gamer it took some getting used to but for party games it is surly much cooler than Wii. I can surly recommend this and it is a lot of fun. It will not replace the tight control if a controller but is nicer than the Wii controller and you will not trow anything into your TV because all you need is your hands.

After I found the way easier to make Kinect really work with my old XBOX 360 PRO Console by tune up with it in Tracking Mode without using any Tracking Card any more, it's really worth to have it with many great exercise games.

I was originally quite sceptical about Kinect, but after hearing much word of mouth (good and bad), I decided to take the plunge.

Setting up the unit is very straightforward and user-friendly, but it is important to realise that Kinect requires at least 2.2m to operate effectively.

The unit will recognise you and you can do the basics at 1.8m, but I found that to get the most out of Your Shape: Fitness Evolved I needed 2.2m. This requires me to move my sofa which I consider a warm-up before I work-out. This is not an issue for me, but some consumers may not wish to move furniture nor may they have sufficient room.

My advice is to carefully consider where you will use Kinect, how often you will use it and whether or not you are prepared to move furniture. If your house is large enough though, no problems.

The unit contains Kinect Adventures, I haven't spent much time playing the title, but it appears to be what a pack-in game should be. It's basic, but functional enough to act as a good introduction to what the device is capable of. Better than I expected, but I doubt it will take too much of your time, other than when people come over to visit.

Final words, I am satisfied with my purchase, and am now looking forward to Child of Eden!
