Re: Kinect Sports Season Two Demo Impressions?
Just got done playing for about an hour...
The demo features Golf and Tennis. I was kind of disappointed that baseball or football were not included, as those are the two that I want to try the most. Anyway, here we go.
First - Golf:
Golf is actually pretty cool. I found it easy to pick up and play, but hard to master. The motion tracking was good, but it was hard to fine-tune my shots like I would in a game like say.. Tiger Woods. But, I thought it was pretty neat that I could crouch down like Tiger to line up my put.. put my hand up to my brow to see down the course, etc. Voice controls are very welcome.. love that I can say "Xbox.. 5 iron" and it does it. Makes things quick.
Overall, golf was a very positive experience, but a long way from being like Tiger Woods for the Wii.
Tennis:
This was very lame. All you do is swing your racket in time with the ball. It's literally exactly like ping pong from the first Kinect Sports, but you are on a big court. The physics are bad, and it's just not fun.
Hard to judge too much from the short demo, but the voice commands are a great way to navigate and even play the game. I want to try the other sports out, but will have to wait I guess. Graphically, it's not spectacular and stunning, but it is also not an eye-sore. Game was fun and had a family friendly vibe just like the first Kinect Sports. Sensor is utilized well, and very responsive. After I played Golf I was pretty pumped about the game, then when I played the tennis part I started to doubt how much effort they put into the game.
