Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Ubisoft announces Kinect exclusive PowerUp Heroes

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/297855/news/ubisoft-announces-kinect-exclusive-powerup-heroes/

Ubisoft has announced a new Kinect game called PowerUp Heroes.

In development for Xbox 360 at Longtail Studios, the full-body combat game lets you transform your avatar into a custom superhero "to face off in a fight against the forces of evil".The game will be available worldwide in June 2011.

Here's the official announcement:

Using the Kinect technology, PowerUp Heroes is an ultimate super power-infused full-body fighting game. Players control each move in combat by using their entire body to launch projectiles, dodge strikes and counter deadly attacks. Players can unleash attacks on their opponents in a two-player cosmic showdown online. Additional modes include local two-player versus and four-player tournament. 

Players use their unique Xbox 360 avatars to create custom playable superheroes in the game and prepare their avatar for battle by infusing their super suit with deadly powers and special abilities. After the player's character destroys an enemy in battle, they will strip them of the super suit and wield their power for their next battle. There are 20 super suits to collect including the mighty Necromancer suit which allows the player to control a horde of skeletons, and the Mentalist suit that gives the player the ability to break into their enemy's mind.
