This thing is awesome! I bought it as a Mother's Day present for my wife. She's been wanting an interactive workout program for several months. She loves the Biggest Loser ultimate workout "game". My five-year-old loves it. He has a hard time with hand-held controllers that are too big for his hands, but being able to pet his virtual Kinectimals pet has been so fun for him. Response time seems a bit sluggish vs. hand-held controllers, but once you get used to the lag, it is a lot of fun.
The only ready I give the Kinect a "good" rating is because there aren't many games out for it yet, and the software could use a little tweaking. Once all the kinks are worked out, Kinect has the ability to be a wonderful alternative to gaming. Though I do want to make it clear that it will NOT be a replacement for the standard controller. Kinect is fun for the whole family. I can't wait to see what it can do in the future.
Positive: Great product. Kids absolutely love it! Gets everybody up and out of their seats and involves the whole family. Negative: I would highly recommend this but do not try and use it in a small room. Also the living room coffee table is going to be a problem as well. You will need at least 6-10 feet deep in front of the TV set and about 6 feet wide as well for it to properly function. If you do not have this amount of space, dont waste you money.
In addition to the Kinect Adventures, I purchased the Kinectimals. Both games are excellent and keep my kids ACTIVE. You can't play Kinect games without moving and jumping and playing, just like kiddos require. Moreover, it's fun for everyone. I have seen no issues with tracking or anything else. I'm truly impressed. The controls are easy to learn and easy to use. There is very little lag in movement. Because you can see yourself through various forms of visual feedback, you can refine your control and get better and better. I am simply amazed!
This was easy to get set up. It is a really fun game for my kids, ages 14 to 23. I played also and I can use this controller. : ) There are no extra accessories to purchase and no controllers as your body is the controller. The game also records you playing and does a play back so you can see yourself, which the kids like. This is a really excellent product.My kids were lame after playing beach volleyball and the track and field game. They are getting some exercise and being in front of a video game at the same time.
