@ Seece and JaggedSac.

My wife commented on something. She pointed out that at first it seems like a Wii cash in. But she then said when you realise it's the entire body, it changes everything. 

Dance mats for example are merely 4 or 8 points for your feet. Or she said any Wii game is essentially only an arm movement. 

But she likes the fact the Dance game is moves based on your entire body position. Shes sees it as very advanced. Not just a gimmick copy. 

Interesting. She has a point. Dance Central is impossible on any other system.

I hope game makers continue with entire body games rather than simple arm and hand gestures. Kinect real strength is in it's 3d 48 point skeletal movement.

Yup, this annihilates all dancing games with mats and controllers.

No more restrictions, freestyle dancing, if this gets advertised heavily, it could be a killer app.

For sure, it deserves to sell better than Just Dance.

Love your sig. I cant wait for what Molyneux said about. Also Fable 3 is confirmed to use Kinect to. Excellent.

I wonder if Rare is working on Killer Instict 3. Hmmmm.

Kinect has alot more to come and show over the next 6 months. 

Thanks, I can't fit all the games in I want!

Rare are SOOO working on more than Kinect Sports, it's been 2 years for them, no way is it just one game. I expect 3 games from them in next 9 months.

I kinda disagree with all of you so far. Not about Kinect, but about the dance game specifically. For me games like DDR with the mat are more fun than actual dancing. I also prefer Music games like Gitaroo Man to Guitar Hero/Rock Band. The closer games try to get to reality, the more the lose their appeal to me. Menu navigation and video control is also worthless to me. I have a 360 remote control for that.

The only games that have  really caught my eye are Child of Eden--It looks absolutely wonderful, not because of the optional Kinect control, but the overall design-- and Dance Masters--It's got Nignt of Fire, so I'm sold, plus it's unrealistic enough that I can actually enjoy it. Those are currently the only 2 reasons to get Kinect at this point. I'm not exactly surprised. 1st generation on average games tend to suck since developers are still unused to the new tech. 2nd generation and onwards is when they typically start to impress me.

The only thing I don't like so far is the unnecessary implementation of Kinect in some games. I'm looking at you Forza.
