This looked pretty good during the Happy Hour, curious how it'll be in a more detailed look.

As I understand it, there's some noticeable delay. I haven't ever touched one so don't take my word. At all. Actually, ignore this comment completely, I'm sorry for ever having typed it out.

How'd they stretch that one to 16:30? Seems like a 3:00 video, tops.

At least this game doesn't make you look like a complete retard while playing it. Oh, wait...

No its just in every Kinect video GB does there is always two people and they are always messing around, jumping in and out of shot and waving there hands around.

I'm not sure how I feel about that competitive multiplayer. it seemed like it was throwing a lot of fruit Vinny's way and not so much towards Brad. Also, having played a lot of the iPhone version, I don't think this one holds up in terms of precision, but it definitely looks fun.

Kinda seems like the worst part of the game is the part where you have to use Kinect to play it.

Microsoft needs to send some G-Men over to Giant Bomb's office, tie them up in a room, and explain to them that having a second player standing in the foreground when they shouldn't be, fucks up the tracking. Vinny stood back for a second, and then immediately started creeping forward, haha.

Anyway, this game looks surprisingly alright, though I'm still not sure if it's $10-worth of alright. They've added more modes and stuff to the core game, but it still ultimately just comes down to slashing fruit, and I'm not sure how long that novelty can last. I never bought Fruit Ninja for my iPhone, for that very reason - and that was at $1, not $10.

I believe the Kinect uses whoever is closest to the sensor in determining control over menus. Just FYI. :)

Awesome video, game actually looks like a lot of fun. Seems like the roboto-chop is the most effective way to slice though, go Vinny!

It looks like these are just the same modes from the iPhone version, except for party mode.
 
EDIT: Also the iPhone version is a buck.
