woah woah woah.
this is not a lightgun game. It is also not on rails.
 
It is however a truly awful game. It plays terrible, with an impossible control system that has you contorting all over the place like a lunatic. It also looks diabolical. Like a late gen ps2 game. This is not a game deserving of Giantbomb coverage.

Is this an actual House of the Dead game? If so, it needs super crappy/cheesy voice acting. Dogs of the AMS.

Another on rails game for Kinect, not a big surprise but hopefully the game is good for Kinect's sake.

Is it just me or does anyone find the new site design really annoying when making comments on videos? I hate that the video player auto-plays the next video whenever I'm done watching something and want to write a comment.  
 
Even worse is that hitting the back button in Google Chrome doesn't take you back to the comments page of the video you just watched. Feels very unintuitive to have to go to the video page and find that video again only to write a comment.

So I'm not the only person who thought it looked like Deadly Premonition.

@paulithon: As an xbox peripheral its not so great but if you are a computer scientist/engineer/hobbyist there are plenty of reasons to get one. I'm getting one for my final year project in uni.

No, because you can turn it off.

Looks like a Wii game that got repurposed for Kinect.  Some of the assets look really bad.

Well at least this one gets a pass for being on-rails.

Too graphic for my tastes. Still, interested to see how the Kinect gameplay turns out.

Exactly. Which makes it totally funny that its not. I like on-rail games but when a game works in on-rails, especially with a platform like Kinect, I wouldn't try to shoehorn in free movement. 
 
On rails, I think this game would actually be pretty damn good. But with the movement controls, from what I've heard, I cant see how it would be fun to play this game.

For gods sake people, I already told you. 
Its not on rails. Its not a lightgun game and its a steaming turd. 
Not quite sure why GiantBomb is misrepresenting this awful product, let alone representing it at all.

At least it's not a mini-game collection or a dance game.
