Quick Look: Kinect Sports: Rivals

Just amazing.

I was all "who thought people would enjoy going through this big process at the start of the game", then the model came up and it was all worth it =D

COLLUSION!!

Seriously, they need to get everyone else to do this on Unprofessional Friday.

Man I always thought Vinny was a lot taller then Jeff but they look almost the same size.

Jeff sure did reach his break point on that tennis game.

This is the goddamn best.

The Kinnect 360 usually must frustrated players. The all-new Xbone Kinnect frustrates itself too . That coach is an ass.

I have no pants... let the video start....

PÜSH!

Vinny, TV gold.

A Kinect QL with a green screen? This is the best day ever.

So much effort, yet still a really bad game. I don't know why I expected anything less =/

I just feel sorry & sad you guys had to waste a little time of your life playing this rubbish game. I'd say playing that game counts as "a bad day at the office" for you.

Brought to you by State Farm

Gotta say, that Jeff avatar was actually pretty impressive

So Vinny and Jeff went back into the TV?

Vinny and Jeff are slowly turning into the same person.

The green screen is BACK! And Virtua Davis, apparently.

Hilarious Quick Look.

I feel like the Kinect 2 brings this stuff closer (but still not there) to being fun instead of frustrating, and I think once this stuff is fun it'll be really fun. Production values are nice, too, even if I hate all those voices and the smarmy attitude of all the characters.

That narrator sounds like David Tennant.

Edit: OH SHIT I WAS RIGHT! ALL HAIL THE TENTH DOCTOR!

Holy cow, I couldn't stop laughing during the whole tennis segment.

GREEN SCREEN ACTION IS BACK???????? Fucking finally!

god, Rare. im so so sorry :(

Is this one of those games where about an hour or two in you realize you're working for the bad guys?

Vinny is such a dad.

@illuminosopher: And a shitty playing one, too, evidently.

I wonder why tennis worked great for Vinny but Jeff could barely hit the ball? When shit was working it seemed fine. Not $60 fine, but fine.

@jonny_anonymous: A Kinect "Sport" game wouldn't be the same without him. I like to think he's here in spirit.

I will say this: that water looks incredible.

What's with the terrible black crush from all those microsoft games

@jaycee: I was just about to ask if it was Dave Tennant. WHY WOULD HE AGREE TO THIS?!

It didnt say anything about saying Powerup.

"This is what Rare has been up to?" -Vinny

(insert your own context)

Anyway, more Kinect garbage - I will say that the characters seem to have some good charm...kids would probably like it if it worked well.

I'll take this time to review Coach's wisdom.

1 star out of 5.

It actually said "To use the one you got, say 'power-up' when it's fully charged"

Reminds me more of Danny O'Dwyer

This makes the Kinect look like such a terrible experience.

This game shows Microsoft has no idea what multiplayer is about. This "multiplayer" game has the 2nd player doing nothing while the 1st player is always playing.

Also, every single one looks like Ryan, nothing like Jeff. Rare did it on purpose!

Wow the facial stuff is actually pretty amazing.

Why the fuck is there a state farm logo in this?

I realize they need to make these games in order to justify the Kinect, but man..

Isn't everyone over the novelty of playing generic activities with horrible controls? Using a peripheral that is usually more time consuming than just pressing a button even when it does understand the commands you are giving it?

Maybe one of these days the technology and the implementation will be there, but it just isn't right now.

Rider meet horse, horse, meet rider.

@zombieslayingin3d: It's David Tennant, so almost!

It just doesn't feel like you guys appreciate all the next gen in this game.

Well, Jeff's avatar looked pretty good, except for the weird resemblance to Ryan when bearded. Vinny's looked...not as good.

Game itself still looks like the usual Kinect garbage.

I can see me picking this up on sale if they ever announce a Dance Central for XBox One.

I can understand how this could frustrate people, but luckily I am much, MUCH better at Kinect games and interfaces than most of the press and videogame community.

Almost forgot that Kinect exists for a while there.

We need to see them play the rest of the games! I want a Vinnie vs Drew Rock Climbing and Target Shooting Stand Off!
