Re: Kinect Reviews
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.
