Interesting reviews. Some consider the experience boring, others consider it soothing. Games like this are where Metacritic shines, to be honest, as this kind of game-play is obviously very subjective, which makes reading several reviews valuable.
However, a large percentage had issues with the controls, and that's never a good thing. Kinect just can't manage this type of game yet. It's almost better not to try rather than try and fail. Frustration with controls is one of the worst feelings in all of gaming.
So, really, it probably wouldn't be that bad of an experience if the technology allowed you to manage it perfectly. The metascore would certainly be higher. It's a shame, because I honestly wouldn't mind playing a game like this, but not if it's going to be annoying to control.
I wonder if the next-gen version of Kinect is going to be markedly better with this type of game?
