    This is one game where I can believe the "works better with kinect" on the box.  It works a lot better than I would have imagined.. 
    But there still needs to be some actual games for me to be interested, I wouldn't buy one just because of this.

    i probably just don't understand how it works, but when i turn my head left or right, does that mean i am looking out of the corner of my eye to see whats on the screen?

    @Bubahula: I think it's meant more for slight movements, such as leaning your head when you're turning corners.  Not super useful, but it helps create a more realistic experience.
    Using it to actually look out of the side windows would really require 3 tv's..

    I'm nit into realistic racing games so I'm not sure if this is what fans want. Just looking from the outside though it looks pretty cool and I hope Kinect improves on what other games have tried with a regular camera.

    Your not turning your head that much, when you drive a car, to look in your side mirrors you only move your head slightly. Same concept here.

    It's definitely very interesting to see someone using Kinect as a game enhancer as opposed to the game being totally centered around Kinect.

    This could be pretty useful for Forza 4. The default in-car view doesn't always have the mirrors in-frame, depending on what car you're using. Alleviating that matter would be rather nice, as it's one of the main reasons I refuse to use in-car in multiplayer racing, where mirrors are a must (unless you like closing the door forcefully in turns and getting hit unexpectedly).

    As for whether this is something players would actually want, I have to imagine that if TrackIR and its headtracking became a thing for the PC, which it did, this Kinect functionality will be no different.

    Boy that Bridget's got a mouth on'er...family show indeed. 
     
    I'm curious as to the quality of head tracking using the Kinect so this'll be interesting to me. Maybe i'll play Forza 4 in cockpit view if it works well enough.

    Looks laggy. Also, the pedals moving when the guy brakes in the video shows how seriously you should take it.
