Kinect Sports
SCORE: 91
Family Friendly Gaming was very impressed with Kinect Sports Season Two. I then realized that we had never reviewed the original. So I went out there, purchased a copy so we could get some education into the roots of the franchise. I am so very glad that I did.
Kinect Sports includes Boxing, Track & Field, Soccer, Table Tennis, Beach Volleyball, and Bowling. Sort of the Wii Sports version on the Xbox 360 Kinect. In my opinion Kinect Sports is better than any Wii Sports game. Sure it came years later, but it is more fun.
The violence aspect in Kinect Sports comes in the Boxing. We are punching an avatar version of an opponent. Whether that is a fellow human being or a computer controlled character. For some reason the violence in Kinect Sports felt cartoonish to me.
I love leveling my character up in Kinect Sports by doing well. I also enjoyed the variety of achievements I could unlock. I had a blast playing every single event in Kinect Sports with one exception. Table Tennis makes my hand hurt and I found it difficult to win matches. I was able to dominate in everything else but Table Tennis.
The sporting atmosphere of Kinect Sports is apparent. I love the chants from the crowds, and the music that is played when I did really well. Bowling in Kinect Sports is a real blast to play. Soccer is a little limited as we kick to other players who run and get the ball and then kick to another player or try to score a game. I had fun with it, even though it is not a real deep soccer simulation.
Track
& Field contain a variety of different sporting events that will help
get the blood pumping. I am actually sore as I write this review from
too many boxing matches in a row. Getting a sweat is a great thing, and
something I love writing about when it concerns video games. I highly
recommend that families check out Kinect Sports on the Kinect.
