Fruit Ninja Kinect Now Available on Xbox Live Arcade
BRISBANE, Australia - August 10, in the year of our Lord
2011 - It's time to show off your ninja skills, as
Fruit Ninja Kinect is now available for download via Xbox LIVE®
Arcade. Fruit Ninja Kinect pairs the frenzied fruit slashing
action from the hit mobile game with the motion-controls of the
Kinect™ for Xbox® 360 video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft, allowing players to swing their arms, jump and high
kick to cut through an endless cascade of flying fruits while
trying to avoid dangerous bombs. With single and two-player
modes, friends can now battle each other or team up to slice
fruit together.
"Fruit Ninja Kinect is perfect for parties, family game nights
or people looking for an excuse to accidentally-on-purpose
karate-chop their friends," said Phil Larsen, chief marketing
officer of Halfbrick.
Following the simple yet addictive mechanics that made Fruit
Ninja such a breakout success on mobile devices, Fruit Ninja
Kinect stays true to the spirit of the beloved title while
expanding players' experience with new gameplay modes and
unlockable content.
There are three single player modes: compete for the highest
score while avoiding bombs in Classic Mode, serenely slash
through 90 seconds of Zen Mode, or throw intense power-ups into
the mayhem with Arcade Mode. Fruit Ninja Kinect also adds local
multiplayer so Fruit Ninjas can slice side-by-side in pursuit of
unlockable blades, backgrounds, avatar shadows and Achievements
that only the quickest ninjas will conquer. True masters of
fruit ninjutsu searching the lands for a worthy opponent can
climb the online leaderboards, but only ninjas able to decimate
the mysterious pomegranate -- a rare fruit that players can
attack furiously in bullet-time -- will claim the highest
scores.
With over 40 million downloads worldwide on mobile devices and
top sales chart rankings in more than 60 countries, Fruit Ninja
is already an international sensation, and the Kinect version
adds a whole new dimension to the frenzy.
Fruit Ninja Kinect is rated "E for everyone" by the ESRB and is
now available for download through Xbox LIVE Arcade for 800 MS
Points or $10.
