– The king of slice-'em-ups is back and better than ever, with
Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 officially arriving today on Xbox One,
Halfbrick has announced.
Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 boasts a smorgasbord of content for new and
returning players, featuring nine distinct game modes,
four-person multiplayer, exclusive mini games, and a new
progression system.
With an increased focus on movement and dexterity, Fruit Ninja
Kinect 2 is designed to get gamers off the couch and on their
feet. Players can dodge shurikens, avoid spotlights, or strike a
pose in comical mini games.
The new Kinect sensor plays a pivotal role, allowing developer
Hibernum Créations to implement a number of features which were
not previously possible. Party Mode is a prime example, giving
up to four players the ability to jump in and out of the action
as matches progress.
In a series first, all modes can be played co-operatively with a
friend or family member. Those looking for a more serious
challenge can up the ante in Battle Mode, where new power-ups
like Bomb Attack and Fast Forward are used to hinder opponents
in a tasty tug-of-war.
“The Kinect is an amazing peripheral with a wealth of untapped
potential,” said Shainiel Deo, chief executive at Halfbrick.
“We’re excited to show developers that, with the right team and
the right idea, Kinect games have the ability to revolutionize
the living room.”
“Our goal was to create the premier Kinect experience for entire
families,” added Louis-René Auclair, Vice-President and Chief
Brand Officer at Hibernum. "Whether you're young, old, short or
tall, this is a game that everyone will enjoy for months and
years to come."
Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 is rated "E for Everyone" by the ESRB, and
is available now for $14.99 USD on the Xbox Games Store.
