First Kinect Sports, taking on the Wii Sports formula and pulling it off nicely. Bowling, table tennis, athletics: the events feel varied and Kinect tracking holds up genuinely well. A benchmark for family nights on the 360.
A sports compilation from Rare for Kinect, Kinect Sports gathers six disciplines, from bowling to sprint to boxing and table tennis, all playable through body movements with no controller at all. The clarity of the events, the immediate physical fun and the group conviviality make it an effective showcase of the peripheral's abilities. The sometimes temperamental detection and the limited depth cap the solo interest. An excellent party game for families and active evenings among friends in front of the console.
