only good thing i have seen for this piece of junk so far is that exercise thing ironically and i guess that central dance game though from what i saw 5 dollars for 2 songs kinda sucks plus the fact that they didnt add those songs into the game from the get go seems like a dick move

Great this has had the worst reviews of all the launch titles. Ellie for EG nailed it:

At least one classic, a few shovelware, some you know for kids, and the rest fine if you like that type of thing - not a bad bunch for a new piece of tech. At least there is some variety and not just retrofitted recent games.

So is this indicative of what Kinect games will be?  Or is this just because they are launch titles?  :X

The kinect technology is cool, hope some games know how to use it.
As launch lineups go, I don't think the kinect launch is that bad...

Every Kinect game except for Dance Central looks absolutely terrible, and all of the menus look excruciatingly tedious to navigate. I feel sorry for whoever spent money on that hardware.

What the hell is up with the constantly repeating audio loops in all these Kinect games? This is 2010. Embarassing. Not that the game looks much fun anyway, but still. Did the developers actually play their own game?

A lot of these tech demo-y releases are super hokey, but I guess it's been the same for every motion controller. It's just that I would never pay full price for games like that. I can wait until someone comes along and perfects it.

I like the people who say "I wouldn't pay full price for kinect games."  um... then don't.  Most of these games aren't "full price" - they're $10 whole bucks less.  The tech is fun and innovative but I understand lots of folks are broke....

All but 3 of these Kinect games look like a mound of frustration. Kinect just doesn't seem accurate enough to be fun. The most frustrating thing in a video game is when you don't feel like you are in control of your character/avatar. Kinect just seems to work best when you don't actually have a character to control on the screen i.e. Dance Central, Your Shape, and Dance Masters. Other than that, when you are trying to directly control something on screen, it just doesn't seem that the technology is there yet.  Maybe things will get better once its out longer, but as it is now, things are looking grim.

I'm curious if getting into it as much as your character is will work. I might consider this sort of stuff if that kind of thing works.
