pretty bad right?well i wanna know why too because this game have demo and demo works well(for me at lease),so not sure what happen between demo and retail version

 

and if you people any other reviews but not in metacritic,please post here

Wow, worst scores for a retail core game in a long time,



I am going with kowenicki's impression  'Hectic'..

and ad:

Based on the demo the game is everything what I hate about Kinect.....They spend so much money on making this game and come up with this crap...While it could have been an amazing non-kinect game....    Why don't we get the option to play it with an controller?  This game could have been a must have but is simply nothing more than a victim of MS's desperate efforts to have great games that use Kinect...  It is so sad..

And please check also Angry Joe's video he sums it up pretty nice:

I'm pretty disappointing right now. This was by far my most anticipated Kinect game this year. I guess it's all up to Fable: The Journey now and my expectations are pretty low for that one. If Fable turns out to be a bummer there is literally nothing left for me to get excited for.



This game was a mistake from the start

Addapting this:

Into this:

Was the worst idea in gaming since 40 characters in Chrono Cross.

(and I love kinect)



Around the Network

Very weird since every preview was extremely positive about the game

It likely does look bad, but this video just wildly flailing his arms around the place.

come on,at least know how is this game works



Well thats disapointing



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

 

You know what? I actually defended this game a few months back on this site, saying it looks promising and could be the first great core Kinect game. Fuck that. 


"My problems were very basic: I could not get the game to work. - Ben Kuchera, The Penny Arcade Report

"Steel Battalion's Kinect integration is so fundamentally flawed that it astounds me it could have shipped like this in the first place. - Alex Rubens, freelance critic for G4

If my intention cannot translate reliably into the game each and every time I make an input, I'm not playing a game. I'm fingerpainting. - Julian Murdoch, Gamers With Jobs

 

I guess that's what I get for defending Kinect, just once. Damn.
