I'm not kidding, either.
My sister and her daughter came over on Saturday and played a little Kinect. We downloaded the demo for Sesame Street Once: Upon a Monster and that little kid went fucking insane! That got me thinking--to most two year olds, Dora the Explorer is even bigger than Elmo. They LOVE her!! Have you ever watched the show? Imagine:
-Dora asks you to say something in Spanish or English throughout the show (ie: When you see an egg, yell "EGG!"). With Kinect, it will really hear you when you yell "egg". The game can react to the child's voice.
-She always asks where something is (ie: Where is the egg? Point to it!) With the sensor, the kid can actually point to the egg.
-At the end, Dora and that monkey always end up dancing to that song, "We did it". Kids can jump up and dance with Dora.
Toss in the Backpack sections ("What do I need to climb a mountain?" *kid points to a rope*), Swiper the Fox, and all of the other elements of the show and you have a Kinect game that kids will go crazy over. If one parent or a daycare has this set up, it will spread like a disease. Put the demo on Xbox Live and have it end abruptly and parents will be on their way to Gamestop right then and there to buy this fucking game. What do you think?
You think it's genius, that's what!!
