Re: Kinect Reviews

I can give you this much info.

Yes, 6 feet from your TV is the bare minimum, 8 feet works perfectly. Yes you need open space, but Joystiq harping on it, it's pretty much a given. Unlike the Wii or even Move, there is no controller, it's all motion, all you moving as the controller, not sure how this is an issue that they are just now bringing up.

I have a very well lit room and it works fine, again, not sure on that. I've tried it in very bright situations and very dark ones, works fine both ways.

The technology is VERY impressive, especially the voice capabilities.

That being said, it's a novelty, it will wear off if the Wii wore off on you.

The games. Just going off what I've played.

Kinect Adventures is included for a reason, it's God awful terrible. Barely any fun, you'll play it for 10-15 minutes and probably never again. Just not a fun game.

I've seen some reviews bash Kinect Sports with Bowling, honestly, I found it more fun than Wii Bowling. Very, very fun game, love the volleyball as well. This is a game you definitely need room for, as you move all around the beach court that is on the ground.

Joy Ride. I can see it being fun, just never grabbed me like I hoped.

Will be trying out Kinectimals, Dance Central, and Yourself Fitness later tonight.

Any other questions, feel free to ask.
