Kinect games may look like shovelware, but they're actually not. It's very fun to play even the most bad rated games, especially with other people. The only problem is that this fun hardly continues for a long time.

I'm kinda excited for this game, pretty sure it'll at least last more than other games and will possess the same kind of fun as other kinect titles. The kinda fun you don't care how accurate the game is or how responsive its controls are, it's just fun. And that fun is what the techical-review system we have today hates.


saying that game reviewers don't like fun is terribly misrepresentitive.  you say your self, "..don't care how accurate the game is or how responsive its controls are".  If you are into that kind of fun way even bother playing a video game....waggle your fist around to a youtube video of fireworks if all you are looking for is positve reenforcement to spastic movements. 

what i, and the rest of the core, are looking for is an actual game.  you know, one where the controller inputs actually have some relevance to the on screen action.  that's what i consider fun.  not the "here's a gold star for trying" BS you give to young children.

I don't think this kind of fun applies to all games.  I don't thnk it applies to the majority of games, in fact. And I had a lot of prejudice against Kinect before, and by a lot I mean it. But lately my neighbor and my brother bought kinect, and we laugh a lot (a lot) every single time we play anything on it, even demos of "crap" games. It's fun sometimes, you should try it, maybe it'll grow on you too, Mr. Core.

i've tried it (albiet at the store) and it has the exact same BS that made me hate my wii and move.  the only thing that it will grow on me is even more spite at the wasted money spent.



what a colossal waste of time and manhours



itll get in the 70s on metacritic...if its lucky



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Did anyone see that one of the mini-games is basically dance central with star wars characters??

I chose not to moderate this post but I'd still like to comment on it.

Comments like these are really disingenuous to discussion and only serve to rile people up. Especially when the person making it has a PSN tag in their signature and is in a thread about a Kinect game.

Case in point, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

70's is fine...

The wii did amazingly well on a raft of big selling 70's games. I can think of a couple that have sold more than any PS3 exclusive game has ever managed.



Not a very amazing achievement imo.

Except this isn't the Wii we're talking about.
