Rapala for Kinect
SCORE: 84
Rapala for Kinect is a solid fishing game that includes more than I anticipated. I expected to see fishing action, and that is in this Xbox 360 game in abundance. There are also neat little mini games like boat racing. They help break up the fishing game play.
The controls in Rapala for Kinect are my biggest concern. Sometimes they work great, and other times they won’t work at all. I can throw my line fine, and I can interest a fish just fine. Getting them hooked was another story. That was until it entered pro mode. Then I could hook, and reel them in perfectly. I do not know why this happens.
Since rounds are timed the spotty controls can lead to losing. There is nothing worse than losing a round due to bad controls. Trust me on this. I never could figure out why the controls were great at times and messed up other times.
The casual feel to Rapala for Kinect increases the fun factor for millions more than if the game was exclusionary. The bright and colorful graphics will bring in families. Moving around while playing thanks to Kinect also increases the appeal. Families will have a blast with Rapala for Kinect on the Xbox 360.
The sounds in Rapala for Kinect will keep your family energized and ready to catch some fish. I wish catching fish in the real world was this easy. I would be having fish dinner every night if you know what I mean.
I enjoy the active gaming concept in Rapala for Kinect. This helps us lose weight, and be healthier. Rapala for Kinect is one of those games that can be used to help fight child obesity. The government should be paying Family Friendly Gaming to provide them unique solutions like that one.
It was a real
joy and a pleasure for me to go fishing in Rapala for Kinect. I hope
there will be sequels to this franchise in the coming months and years.
I love the idea of going out there, and catching my own dinner. Too many
Americans expect others to provide for them. Rapala for Kinect teaches
us to go out there and do it for ourselves.
