You can totally see the microphone cord coming out the bottom of Patricks shirt and swaying inbetween his legs at the start there.

Y'know...if you were looking in that general area.

This is profoundly uninteresting to me. Sure, it's not the worst Kinect game I've seen, but why would anyone choose to play it other than to convince themselves they didn't waste that $150?

What an awful piece of junk. Made worse by the kinect, another awful piece of junk. I'm so glad I never bought one, and pity all those who did.

There's a moment when Patrick is navigating the game where he looks like Axel Rose.

We need an endurance run of this. Watching the guys fighting against the Kinect controls would be so great.

Hm. Looks slightly more interesting than the average Kinect game, but in the end it's still some basic, generic gameplay that would take 5 minutes with a controller stretched out over half an hour. So meh.

I want a video game of Patrick playing this because his motions made me laugh out loud quite a few times throughout this.

Also, this game looks like a blast to rent and play through with a friend just because it's really goofy and not-so-good.

i am far from a kinect supporter, but the idea of turning shoulders to turn, and stepping forward to walk astounds me. 
 
seems like an ingenious control method, that opens the door for less 'on rails' kinect games. fair play.

What the christ are you guys talking about re: Patrick's pants? They're completely normal slim fit pants, everybody wears them (at least here in Sweden). Nobody likes baggy, loose pants.

This looks incredibly frustrating.  If this is any indication of what FPS games will play like on Kinect then I think all of those games will be in big trouble.

I preferred this game when they called it House of the Dead :( 
 
Also seems appropriate for a game that borrows from Hostel to be totally awful and bad also.

This game doesn't look bad, but it only doesn't look bad because it's on the Kinect, where being a fucking piece of shit is already sort of an achievement, because the bar is about 15 notches below even that.

Everything is so slow and laborious. It's like you're walking abound in 300 pounds of turn-of-the-century diving gear. That alone is making me feel far more uncomfortable than any stupid zombie slapfight could.

I've been wanting a QuickLook of this since I saw that crazy clown in the commercial. I'd like to try it if I had a Kinect..

That corpse on the table had a pretty strong spine to stand up without abs.. \realism

It's really great to see they are innovating more on the kinect.

Only problem I have... for some reason this game is making me motion sick to watch.

Motion control games are terrible, period.

OK, to be fair they make terrible video games, but for people who don't play games they may give a fun distraction for a few minutes.

Looks like a chore to control. It seems like they knew that by adding the auto feature, but at that point you have to keep your arm held up just to have it act like a 90s lightgun game.
