Okay I didn't want to create a new thread for this, so here's my chance to give my first impressions when I played it at my brother's house a few days ago. (he rented Kinect, but he's going to buy it soon).
He also rented 4 games:
- Kinect Adventures
- Kinect Sports
- Kinectimals
- Your Shape
Overall I have to say the controls (in those games at least) are pretty good. It's incredibly fun to play Adventures or Sports and make weird movements with your hands and feet just to see your avatar copying them perfectly.
The activities and mini games are great (Rally Ball (aka Ricochet), Table Tennis or Bowling) and the Unreal Engine does a fantastic job at creating a colourful world without any texture loading problems (yeah sound unbelievable but it's true)
Only played one mini game in Your Shape (which was pretty good) and I have to say the body tracking was even more impressive here. It can even read the print on your shirt and puts it perfectly readable into the game.
Also was very impressed with the instant drop-in drop-out feature of all the games.
