I got it. I didn't play it a ton, and I do a recalibration of my Kinect, but it seems really fun. Interesting control scheme too. I'll have to put more time into it.

How is the character's movement through the stages? On rails? Are you shooting at stuff as the game moves you along?

It's pretty much on rails so far. There was a period where you're in cover, and you duck out to shoot someone, but so far, just on rails. You get control to jump as well. There seem to be some new wrinkles, but with limited playtime, I haven't seen any.

As an undead marionette cowboy thirsty for revenge, you're going to pile up a lot of bodies, and you'll do it all with just a wave of your hand and a flick of your wrist. I'm speaking literally: You'll use your crosshairs to cover up to six targets and then pull your wrist up toward your shoulder (like you're firing a recoiling pistol) to shoot them all. (Think Child of Eden or Omega Boost). You don't have to make your hand into a gun shape while you do this, but in a way, you do have to, because, what are you, a monster? How do I live in a world where something this awesome exists? As you shoot, you'll also be helping The Gunstringer leap over or otherwise avoid obstacles by pulling his strings left, right or straight up with your left hand. It feels a little odd at first, but it's perfectly sensible once your left hand learns to not overcompensate wildly for every cow-made-of-a-beer-can that stumbles into your path. Occasionally, The Gunstringer will stop behind some cover and you'll jerk left or right to pull him out just long enough to drop your foes and (preferably) not get shot. The skeletal avenger picks up some new tricks along the way but, seeing as stumbling upon them is a genuine delight, I'll leave you to discover them for yourself.

I picked up Gunstringer today and I think it is fun. Doesn't have that tech demo feel to it which is good since this isn't a launch game. Not sure how much gameplay it will provide to make it worthy of a disc based game purchase rather than what you'd expect from a downloadable game.

So yeah I like Gunstringer a lot, definitely my favorite Kinect game. I hope that it is the first of good Kinect games coming out now that we're past the release and really don't need more Kinect intro games. I don't really like games on rails and Gunstringer kind of is, but at least you get the left/right/jump movements that make it ok. Something that the Wii did right that I was disappointed that Kinect didn't do was the nunchuck that the Wii has. That allows their motion games to not be on rails because you have a compact control stick in you had for movement. I know Kinect is suppose to be totally controller free, but I hope they add some type of small controller so that action/adventure games don't have to be on rails.

I am debating getting the Kinect since a few stores have it on sale for $99 for Black Friday.

Those who have one is it something you still use or a purchase you regret?

I still use it. I still think it's fun.
