It looks like an actual FUN game that translates elements of the series faithfully onto the Kinect hardware, rather than some launch title cash-in.

Meh. Didn't look too promising to me. The game itself, anyway, still need some hands-on time to say for Kinect as a whole.

God no.  I'm actually quite intrigued by Kinect in general, but I thought the Quick Look was horrible.  Ryan didn't look like he had good control over his rider.  He was even having trouble selecting options in the menu screen.  Then there is the fact that this is just another milking of the Sonic franchise by Sega.

yea look pretty cool.  Wouldn't mind playing it with family and friends 

Looks terrible. Basically an on rails Mario Kart.

What I saw looked terrible... The sad part is that that game would probably be better with a controller.

Not even a little bit. Can imagine it being a fun novelty for ten minutes.

Looked abysmal.
 

"Oh, come on, you're better than that,"

"No...no, that's definitely where I'm having trouble,"

It looks fucking terrible. 

Looked like EyeToy: AnitGrav, but with Sonic.

Controls looked pretty good, at least when you consider that the player wasn't holding a controller at all. Otherwise I don't think it will appeal to the crowd on giantbomb. This specific implementation of kinect seems to only be appealing when used in a group. Hopefully, other kinect games will be able to create a more 'hardcore' experience.

no

It looks extremely not very good, honestly.  If the average Kinect game is of this quality in terms of control, I don't see this accessory living very long.

Since when has Sonic been about riding hoverboards in a Mario Kart ripoff? "

It looks like a dull Mario Kart Wii ripoff with shoddy controls.

Hell no.

Can you tell me how it translates elements of the series if it did then sonic wouldn't be on a fucking hoverboard, I don't think this game is really aimed at my target audience or most people on this site.

This. "

Not at all.  In fact, it might have made me dislike Kinect/motion controls even more.

"It looks fucking terrible.  "

I want to know how long Ryan had been playing the game prior to the start of the Quick Look, because he looked winded by the end of it.

DUMB AS FUCK!
 
That game is using the Kinect like it would use an Eyetoy.
 
It's not pushing the hardware in any meaningful manner.
 
Not to mention it plays like the crappy Sonic hoverboard racing games from years past.

" It looks fucking terrible.  "

It looks just like the other two, but with motion controls. And the other two weren't good.

I more so just like to see kinect demonstrated live in an environment that's real.

Since the Gamecube. "

The game looked terrible. Truly terrible. Well no, sorry, the game didn't look terrible, but the controls were horrific. How Ryan and Jeff are going to review these games when they're basically conked out after a single race is concerning. Likewise -- this is yet another game in Kinect's line-up that completely crosses over with other games; the controls are almost identical to the river-rafting one. The concept is the same. Is this the best they can come up with?
 
It hardly looks like an advance over EyeToy: Antigrav which came out on the PS2!
 
But the menus. Oh man the menus. They were the key thing. I thought at E3 the canned, pre-filmed footage of people controlling the dashboard with Kinect looked clunky. And this looks like the reality of that. Give me a D-pad or even Wii Remote pointer ANYDAY.
 
So, so bad. But hey, if you're stoked by it, that's cool. This (and Kinect as a whole) is nothing more than an arcade gizmo though. It's gonna offer an arcade like experience, where you jump around for two or three minutes, have a giggle and then move on. Problem is, this is going to set you back $150.
 
Decent looking fitness tool, terrible games device. It's hilarious how people are still invested in the "it's early days", "there's potential" thinking line.  This is the reality of Kinect folks. This is it. This is what we've been building up to. This is Kinect, demoed live, in a real (but incredibly empty) environment.
 
(Hopefully not too trollish).

It looked like a game I wouldn't really want to play with a controller and I really wouldn't want to play with motion control. So no. In fact, I was really disappointed that we didn't actually get to hear anyone's opinion of the game. Might as well have been a QL EX.

Kinect does not convince me, this is not how I want to play my games. I'd rather see some good PSMove games, where I have actual buttons to press.

Sonic has no self-respect left. At least Nintendo releases a solid Mario title every few years in addition to Mario kart racers, tennis games, party games etc. For Sega, that's all they've put Sonic in for a long time.

I got excited watching Ryan play it.
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN .

I realised how wrong I was once the phrase "it would be so much better on a gamepad" really set in. 
 
Wtf MS :(

Not at all...

It looked meh. I have no care for Kinect though.

Looks unenjoyable. I simply don't see the point in doing all of those actions just to steer a fucking bike when I can simply use a precise controller. Motion controller technology is not even close to being accurate enough for something like this.

It validates my hatred of motion controls does not look fun at all.

Who's behind it? Is it the Sega & Sonic All-Stars Racing team? Because if so, I'm down to at least try it.

looks like shit.
