Not enough Dave Lang for my tastes, but I do like the part where stuff explodes.

@heatDrive88: "sh*tty version of" doesn't mean "almost exactly like"

Did this remind anybody else of one of those Apple promotional videos where every employee in the video has had their mind continuously blown by whatever they are promoting, and are genuinely flabbergasted at the product that they themselves made?

@Dan_CiTi: I don't see what's so wrong about it being almost exactly like Boom Blox, minus the jenga-like modes. That one mode in Boom Blox was a ton of fun with friends.

No physics = fail. Add Kinect and you get absolute failure.

I love how I was looking to see the buildings fall around the projectile and watch it travel into and carry on past the walls...no just loads of smoke and everything collapses no real physics more just a up or down state -_-

What's the appeal of this? It looks like a sh*tty version of Boom Blox but for the Kinect. Besides it being by Dave Lang.

For a game that doesn't look especially amazing, I wish the destruction was a little more than a puff of smoke and some firework noises. It'd be cool if it had real dynamic destruction.

No thanks, Kinect can go and die.

And yes, this looks like a poor man's Boom Blox with incredibly shitty controls. Even just watching how you have to swipe like an idiot in order to steer the ball annoys me.

I really don't think this'll compare favorably with Boom Blox.

After Steel Battalion the Kinect lost all good will as far as I am concerned, they will bring out any game for it no matter how bad and broken that game is.

I really love nat-u-ral writing in scripts and I believe that yes, you the consumer, can enjoy it as well. Nine ninety-five.

I dunno quite what it is about this game, but I just strikes me as one of the most terribly uninspiring games I've seen anything of for quite some time.

If this were 400 Microsoft Points, I might buy it. This game seems like it might be amusing for an hour or so.

I like games where you destroy stuff with physics. I don't like Kinect. I won't be buying this game as a result. I really don't see why this couldn't be used with a controller as well. This doesn't exactly seem like a game that will sell peripherals so why not make it optional like Babel Rising, Dragon's Lair, etc?

Think that Dave Lang would have been better at promoting this, some of the people just don't have his level of energy at selling it. Adding it to the very small list of games for Kinect to get once I move to a bigger place that can actually have enough room for the bloody thing.

So they made Castle Crashers/Angry Birds as a Kinect game? I get the feeling it won't be quite so easy to aim that ballista, either. I think a QuickLook might still be funny, though!
