It is a shame that KSR wasn't better recieved by critics though, Microsoft needed a successful Kinect game to convince the doubters that the Kinect is worth the extra $100-150 on the Xbox One's price tag. The next wave of Kinect games won't be coming until later this year, hopefully Microsoft won't be forced to unbundle it before then just to compete with the PS4.


As i said before im not a fan of kinect only games.  However the extra $100 was justified simply for the media hub to me.

It's great but allot of people won't think that the $100 is justified to add a few features and easier navigation

That is fine, they dont have to. As ive said on multiple occasions with XBO, perception is a flaw of XBO atm.  The people who has purchased XBO so far has seemed to be really impressed with Kinect.  Plus i think XBO has a good chance of being $400 this holiday even with kinect.  Even right now it is basically $450 with a free game

Ironically KSR has a lower metacritic than the original Kinect Sports, despite the Kinect 2.0 being a huge improvement over the original Kinect and all of the previews for KSR praising the increased fidelity of Kinect 2.0 and KSR over the original. That just goes to show how screwed up critics are this generation.


To be fair, I feel like the original Kinect Sports had more fun inclusions that are absent here. Volleyball for example was one that me and my friend had a blast with. I honestly think Rivals has too many omissions.

They should have taken the best from 1 & 2 and a couple new ones for KSR.

Bowling
Volleyball
Golf
Tennis
Rock Climbing
Wave Racing

Perfect batch imo.

I like that they're doing TV, IMo tho MS need to go harder than they are. Go all in or go home.

Well i think i just decided id cancel my KSR pre-order and get Trials Fusion.  I was never for sure if i wanted it in the first place.  My issues isnt with the score though, but more so that it appears beyond Wake-Racing, Tennis, and Rock Climbing im not going to like it all that much.  Even then the Pre-Season Wake Racing wasnt a blast.  It was fun but not for long periods of time, really was just impressed with the accuracy but once you get beyond being impressed it just isnt a ton of fun. Dont get me wrong, Wake Racing is fun, just not something i can see myself pouring hours into is all.

You guys know im a big rare fan but i think ill eithr have to wait for a price drop or just rent it.

I got to play KSR because of head of XBox India and sahil and I were with him he gave us a chance to play KSR. I only played few rounds of games and this game is awesome. Except football everyhthing is a blast to play. Wave racing and rock climbimg are the highlights of the game. We don't have Xbox one released in our country otherwise we would have review it. Don't buy reviews they are shitty. Think of MAX it was such a great game but reviewers bashed it. KSR is a great game from my 2playtime I was in love with that game. It is best game to show your Kinect.
