Kinect Sesame Street TV
SCORE: 94
God continues to bless us at Family
Friendly Gaming in a variety of ways. I marvel daily at how many unique
IP addresses check out what we have to say on a variety of products. I
am amazed at all of the events we are invited to. I am humbled by the
flood of products that come to us each and every single week. I am
honored on a daily basis with how many encouraging emails we receive. I
smile at many of the products companies are publishing.
Take Kinect Sesame Street TV for example. Microsoft Game Studios is
making a bold statement with this Xbox 360 Kinect game. They are saying:
"they acknowledge families have children, and they want to publish a
product for them." We love to focus on things just like this here at
Family Friendly Gaming.
Every single ignorant gamer who likes to say: "EC games are not
published," needs to take a look at Kinect Sesame Street TV. This is an
Early Childhood home console video game. Yes there are gaming elements
to Kinect Sesame Street TV. This Kinect title is very kind to children
in terms of making mistakes.
Certain portions of Kinect Sesame Street TV feel like an interactive
television show. Children learn about letters, and numbers while moving
around. There are segments in Kinect Sesame Street TV where children
just watch what is going on. There are other parts that are interactive.
The child can talk to the game, move around, and more.
Kinect Sesame Street TV has me thinking about the future of video games,
and entertainment as a whole. The whole interactivity aspect of Kinect
Sesame Street TV can be utilized in a variety of television shows. Could
this be the future of gaming and television shows? I do not know, but I
can see more of this in the future if Kinect Sesame Street TV sells
well.
Kinect Sesame Street TV comes with two discs. Each disc contains four
episodes. Each episode is around thirty minutes long. So we are talking
around four hours of content in Kinect Sesame Street TV. However it
comes with a one year season pass. Where families will have access to
thousands of Sesame Street clips, music, videos, a personalized
playlist, complete seasons of Abby's Fairy School, and Bert & Ernie's
Great Adventures.
I saw a couple of lessons that parents may want to be briefed on. The
first was one taught that it was okay for boys to play with girls toys.
This can bother families concerned with gender confusion, and the
decline of fatherhood. The other was references to the old earth belief
system. In my opinion these are very minor, but I feel it is my duty to
be sensitive to those who are offended by those teachings.
All in all I feel Kinect Sesame Street TV is a wonderful product that
can provide families with a neat teaching tool on their Xbox 360's. I am
very curious to see if this opens an entire new genre in the video game
industry. What other shows will receive this kind of treatment in the
coming months and years?
