Quick Look: Kinect Star Wars

it would seem alexis is becoming a bigger part of the site , thats pretty cool.

WTF Lucas Arts, I know you must be staffed by complete morons, So I'll spell it out explicitly for you.

No one cares about this prequel bullshit, give us another XWing game, or another Dark Forces game, every game since the prequels or based on the prequels is just ruining the franchise.

I don't have the system but I was one of the people who would move with the controller and honestly moving my body and controlling that way is simply innately more interesting to me. Yes it may be easier with another controller but this allows me to exercise and have fun. It was obvious you were somewhat winded by the rampage and it did look like it had some skill as you could do the challenges it presented you. (land on one person etc.) And since when is star wars fan service a bad thing? As for the shooting game you mentioned....not interested. The way these can not work is by being ridiculously difficult. If I have to know how to sword fight to be succesfull in the sword fight game then I am not interested. How it looked here though seemed to hit the sweet spot. Is it going to replace biowolf games? Certainly not but given the fact it promotes movement and exercise, has the star wars fan service I crave and generally does look like fun if I had the system I would give this a shot.

THIS GAME SHOULD NOT EXIST. Why the heck are Star Wars people dancing to an actual Christina A. song?

Ridiculous.

Those songs are the best and worst and best things all over again. Hot damn!

Shame Brad cut it out, but he seems like the one who likes to embarrass himself least on camera. If it was Ryan or Jeff, it would be the Han Solo song and they'd go all the way through.

Did they forget to hook up the 360 to a HDMI port or something? Why does this game look like such complete shit? Why don't Brad and Patrick realize they are standing too far back for the kinect to sense them. The game is even fucking telling them that. It's just pure laziness. They are blaming the game for their ignorance :/

EDIT: Those 200 people should be ashamed of themselves.

Game looks pretty lame, but Brad seemed to break a few rules of the professional game reviewer.  He had written it off before he even started, pretty much ragequit the dance game and almost some of the other stuff.  Instead of a smart, detailed critique while showing us how bad the game is, it was mostly just sighs and flailing halfassedly.  At least pretend to be unbiased?

lol this game looks like poop from a butt

The 800 gazillion dollars in Georgie boy's bank account says otherwise. And bitch and moan all you want, that bottom line is all he cares about.

Probably because he had already played it.

if next generation consoles drop the cutting edge technology in favor of more gimmicks

i'm out

Word. Thank Christ for Steam.

Did they not tag in alexis once in this entire ql?

@Nugget said:

Brad is possibly the worst Kinect player ever...

Not that i'm surprised lol

That looks boring as HELL

Now watch them market itby saying: DON'T WORRY GUYS IT'S A KIDS GAMMU!!!

This is as shitty as I imagined, well done!

You could not be any more wrong sadly.

I really don't like kinect.

Don't be self-conscious about your dancing, Brad. There are only thousands of people watching you spastically flailing your limbs.

In ten years, some 22 year old will look back and have fond memories of this game.

This game makes me sad.

Is it just me or does the video look really interlaced?

Hordes of children disagree with you.

only Double Fine and Harmonix should be allowed to make Kinect games.

Shame on the singers who recorded those cover songs.

What is up with this new youtube video player? Every five seconds it bugs out.

THERE IS NO GOD

Sorry for not reading through the comments, but is anyone else seeing crazy bad de-interlacing in the HD version?

GO TEAM SKYRIM

Why do they give brad all star wars and final fantasy games he kinda has a grunge against them.

they could make a solid king of the monsters game with those rancore controls

Come on Brad, this site is built around ridiculousness and then you quit out of the dance mode?

6 minutes into this video I turned it off and went to YouTube to listen to the rest of the soundtrack. Brad and Patrick, I love you guys but you can both fucking eat it with your dumb "art" games. This is art. Princess in a Battle is art.

@Sweetz: Yeah i can definitely see it when anything is in motion. Maybe something was up with their capture gear.

Edit: Welp, Gamespot did their own Kinect SW video and theirs looks fine...

Good lord, this game is horrid.

How is it that this game looks so bad? Rogue Leader looks better than this and that came out in 2001 on the GameCube.

T__T

Ways to tell the big starship is owned by a Sith Lord:

1. The ship is called The Nihilist.

The Rankor rampage seemed okay. They should cut that part out expand on it and sell it as an XBLA game for $5

I want video of Patrick and Brad doing the Rancor game. But without Context.

Brad's insatiable compulsion to regurgitate Mike Stoklasa's material is pretty fucking brazen in this video. The game looks pretty average to me. It has a racing game, a cheeky parody of Dance Central, and a game where you can stomp around as a big monster which both of them obviously enjoyed. As a kid I'd probably have got some fun out of this. Brad is voracious though, eager to complain about Wookies flying the Millennium Falcon which is quintessential Star Wars shit he'd have munched through like Pizza Rolls as a kid. Seems like they're only doing Kinect quick looks so they can berate it. It's perverted. If you think Kinect is bad don't cover it, don't try to humiliate it, just don't cover it.

Patrick's (at least feigned) enthusiasm during the lightsabering part had me thinking of this the whole time:
 
  

14:30 - Geomod 2.0!!!

patrick is so annoyingly bad

Hahaha. Love the childlike glee with which Patrick took to the Rancour Rampage.

LOL, this was 45 minutes of Patrick going:

"Well, THAT'S allright, I guess?"

The video quality is quite poor.

I love star wars but i have no desire to buy a kinetic to play this also Patrick yes you can get the jedi knight games, they sell all of them on steam i would know i bought all of them.

I don't know what to say.

Solo Pose! god...
