IncGamers: I've got to admit it, Star Wars: The Old Republic is a great deal more ambitious than I thought it would be in its attempts to encapsulate the majority of elements we think of as quintessentially Star Wars. There's lightsaber combat, podracing, Yoda flipping around like a rubber ball, Darth Vader's husky voice, manipulating objects with the Force and ...err... dancing for your life in front of Jabba the Hutt.
Kinect Star Wars, a groundbreaking game released in April 2012 for the Xbox 360, utilized the Kinect motion-sensing peripheral to plunge players into the heart of the Star Wars universe.
One of the worst things to happen to Star Wars was it being exclusive to Kinect when PS Move could have been a better version because of "buttons" per Kevin with better tracking. And the controller looking like a light saber hilt. Or, had an actual light saber game similar to the dojo in Vader Immortal.
But the miming lies on the Microsoft E3 stage was icing on the cake of this garage. Wasn't even live gameplay. Just bad acting. Nothing ground breaking about this travesty.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "This piece wasn’t meant to say that Star Wars‘ gaming future is ruined forever, nor that there isn’t a chance for a good AAA Star Wars game to come out in the near future. I need to reiterate that, yes, I’m looking forward to Jedi Fallen Order. Then again, as a massive Star Wars fan, like most of you I miss the days when we would get loads of titles a year, each one focused on one specific feature of the franchise. I’d rather have a slew of smaller Star Wars games being released every year, some good and some not as good, than one big generic title being released every two years. These are always at the risk of being criticized due to typical AAA practices like expensive season passes, cut content, or microtransactions. Had Disney allowed for anyone, especially mid-range developers and publishers, to bring their creative and risk-free ideas to life, I’m sure fans would have rejoiced. And Disney’s pockets would most certainly fill up faster than nowadays."

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Kinect Star Wars gave me the opportunity to witness Darth Vader and the Emperor dancing to Deadmau5's "Ghosts n' Stuff" like a couple of teenage ravers on ecstasy. That's the best thing I never thought I'd ever see in my life."
lol I remember this. Almost as much of an embarrassment as the Star Wars Holiday Special
GASP! What a surprise. This title was destined for AAA fame.
More Kinect shovelware.
From the day they faked the presentation at E3 and showed how on-rails it would be, I knew this game would be crap.
I never expected much but I was hoping maybe it would be fun to play. I will wait for more reviews I never even heard of this reveiw site. It does sound spot on to what I was thinking from what I've seen though.
lol look at all the hate....but if this game had been made for the move it would have been a gift from the heavens. Love the hypocrisy in gaming
