Great game for all ages. Bound to put a smile on everyone's face, and keep them moving. I bought this game just to try out the kinect sensor, not realising it would be as addictive as it is. Riding rapids on an inflatable raft down rapids, steering with your body, not a controller. Unreal. Moving out of the sensors range when you get to excited and engrossed I'm the game is the biggest down fall. I now have several games for kinect, but this remains one of the favourites and comes out whenever there is a get together.
Whether you grab Microsoft's new Kinect hardware with visions of turning your living room into a dance floor, a gymnasium or a racetrack, you'll get a chance to embark on some outlandish adventuring as soon as you get your Kinect home. That's because Kinect Adventures comes included with every Kinect sold. With only five minigames, some better than others, you'll quickly experience all that Kinect Adventures has to offer. And two-player simultaneous play requires a solid 8-to-10 feet of clear space, which limits some to a one-player experience. But these goofy activities are fun to watch even when you're not playing. Kinect Adventures makes for a good pack-in by demonstrating that the Kinect's technology really works and by getting you and your friends or family on your feet and into the fun right away. The concept here is enjoyably absurd. You play as a fresh-faced new recruit on the Adventure Team, a group of thrill-seekers dedicated to doing all sorts of things typically associated with adventurers, like white-water rafting and popping bubbles in space. Kinect Adventures pulls you into this concept on its attractive menu screens by having your avatar, decked out in a cool Adventure Team uniform complete with a snazzy stylised "A" belt buckle, looking out at you from the screen and mirroring your movements as you select menu options. In fact, throughout the game, your avatar admirably mimics your movements. This makes controlling Kinect Adventures a breeze, provided you're up to the occasionally demanding physical activity it requires of you. There are five minigames in Kinect Adventures. The objectives you're trying to accomplish in any one activity can vary over time, sometimes challenging you to collect a certain number of pins along a course or making you race against the clock, but these changes have little impact on how the minigames are played. Of the five minigames, the one that feels the most legitimately adventurous is River Rush. This game sets you in a raft on a raging river, but this is no simulation of white-water rafting. You stand at the front of your inflatable raft, steering it down the rapids by sidestepping left and right and catching big air off ramps by jumping. Catch enough air and your raft may even glide along the clouds for a while. There's not a whole lot to it, but the fast pace and the white-water setting make it a good time in short bursts. And it benefits more than any other event from playing with a friend. Needing to quickly coordinate when to turn and when to jump with your partner as you race down the river makes the already fast action a bit more frantic. The most strenuous minigame is Reflex Ridge, an obstacle course in which you ride along rails on a flat platform, jumping, ducking, and sidestepping the obstacles in your way. At higher levels, you get a decent workout as the obstacles never stop coming, which makes this a good event for those looking for more physical activity. Reflex Ridge is the only game that offers competition rather than cooperation for two players, as you and your opponent ride through the course on separate platforms, shooting for a high score. The remaining events are considerably less demanding. Rallyball puts you at one end of a hallway, with blocks that need to be destroyed at the other. You use any part of your body to send a rubber ball bouncing to the other end of the hallway to smash the blocks. Move.0nRead full review
