Forums - Microsoft - Xbox 360 Kinect Game Reviews!!!

Hmm, so basically what I expected; good reviews for Dance Central, mediocre for everything else. Far too many shady  "birdmen" games. Kinect needs more games like Dance Central and Children of Eden that actually look like they have some effort put in and aren't trying to be crappy Wii third party knockoffs.

whats crazy to me, is games like this on Wii usually get bad reviews. So is the tech really that good??? probably, with good reviews and good sales. Ninty AND Sony are in a bit of trouble.

wow, do wii games get those ratings? i never expected this.


Yes, take a look at the metacritic scores for both.  The first page of Xbox scores (200 games) doesn't go below 81 rating while Wii is already down in the low 70s by the time you reach game 200.  Go to 400 games and the lowest score for Xbox is 74, for Wii you're down in the low 60s now.

The Xbox has 34 games with a metacritic of 90 or more, Wii has 12.

What good reviews are you looking at? I see mostly poor to decent at best reviews, with the exception of Dance Central and Kinect Sports. I see a lot of afterthought third party Wii-esque games that wouldn't sell on the Wii, let alone the Xbox 360.

MS is falling for the casual fallacy with this addon and they may be the ones in a bit of trouble if they really think this thing will be what carries the 360 forward.

Kinect Sports is more or less getting same scores as Dance Central .. and Kinectimals is beating everyone's expectations .. I'd hardly say medicore.

Want to see really well-written reviews? go to Kotaku. Crecente tells it like it is, videos included. Take a look at his hardware review before anything else, and his room set-up video. I guarantee you will be surprised....



Holy shit, Joystiq refuses to give Fighters Uncaged a score, it's that bad. xD

Funny, the gamesradar people who bashed Sports and Joyride said they liked it the most along with Adventures. Both aren't doing as good as Sports or Joyride metas

Haha that was pretty entertaining. Notable quotes for me:

"I would erase Kinect from the fabric of time if it meant Fighters Uncaged would similarly be lost to the ether."

"I'd rather eat a rain-soaked box of poison buttholes than ever play Fighters Uncaged again."

I guess it's your turn for the flood of crappy shovelware 360 fans!
