I went to this mall today that I had never been to for a job interview nearby it. After the interview I decided to check out the mall while I was there. It was pretty much a two story airfield filled with stores that sell insanely expensive stuff.
I walked into a few stores but nothing interesting. That is until out of the corner of my eye I saw a kid making awkward hand gestures towards a large LCD TV. As I got closer I saw that he was playing the bowling mini game from Kinect Sports and doing pretty poorly. It didn't look like the kid was going anywhere anytime soon and I didn't want to stand around too long, so I took a quick look at the Kinect camera and took off.
While the graphics, colors, and lights were sharp, the movement seemed off. Since I really only got a quick look (heh) and the set up was probably not the best, I can't say much for the quality. The camera was on a TV stand pushed up against the wall and was facing the entrance where people were walking in and out. Also I have no idea of the kids actual bowling skills. All I can really say about the camera is what everyone else says, "It is bigger than I thought it would be".
I had no idea that they even had these set up anywhere besides events or anything. Has anyone played any games on it?
So I saw Kinect in action today.

No, I havent played anything myself, and to be honest, I really don't want to.
Until they can make a game thats worthwhile and not something thats tacted on/ a controller can do I'm staying far away from it.
Besides, I have myself a Wii so I don't need anymore motion stuff.
This is just how I feel about the thing.
@zityz: If Dance Central was the demo, I would still be there.
" I don't believe you at all. Break into that mall, steal it, take a picture of it with your username written on a piece of paper next to it and I might believe you then. "I took a really shitty cell phone video because at the time I was thinking that it was a big deal.
" What store did you walk into? Was it a big retailer like BestBuy? "It was the Microsoft store.
There is a microsoft store inside park meadows. Not like this is going on in some shitty gamestop or something. So stop acting like this is an alien sighting guys :-p
But that said, from the Sonic quicklook, Kinect looks weak.
