Forums - Microsoft - So Kinect Sports Rivals isn't doing so hot

 

Do you agree with the critics?

Yes 114 74.51%
 
No 38 24.84%
 
Total:152

65 on Metacritic currently.

Don't have an Xbox One, but wanted to know (for those of you who bought it) if you agree with the reviews. It was supposed to be the game that showed off the true power of Kinect, but it may be a major misstep for the Kinect if it flops.

How are the motion controls? I don't want to trust critics completely, nice getting user input as well.

It comes out tomorrow. It will be a hit with some casuals and a good game to play when you have people over thats about it



They should have spent the money/resources on something else such as a new IP or speeding up development with their current IPs and then later on, when they have sold more units or during holiday season, released Kinect Sports Rivals cause majority of the X1 owners will not even bother with this and the 65 meta makes it even less likely

True, just wondering if someone tried a demo or got their hands on it early :P

It's doing better than Ryse and Knack, that's something I guess. The score is about the same as the other games in the series.

Like have been said, the score is in line the series. Nobody expected more I think...

I only played the jet ski demo. it is great for what it is but the hardcore audience that are early adopters will not jump on this right away. this game will propably sell 200k first week, 50k second, maybe  10k each week for the rest of the year. Bundles will make this game popular!



Who cares about reviews for this game, anyone who has an XB1 was able to download the demo and witnessed how great it worked. Kinect Sports Rivals will be great for my woman, family, and friends.

Motion control games tend to get these kind of reviews. Look at the Metacritic scores for Wii Sports/Wii Sports Resort, or the prior Kinect  Sports/Kinect Adventure games.



Did anyone expect high reviews for this?
