"Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor does not work. I don’t mean that on a conceptual level or as a critique against the narrative set-up. Technically, it doesn’t function. It’s broken. And not in the internet forum doesn’t-quite-work-as-I-expect ed way of using that terminology. It’s fundamentally broken." 1/10

What I can't stand is when a game gets a 2 (ex. Resistance Burning Skies) and the reviewer just doesn't like the game.
Kinect can make most hardcore games into crappy ass kinect games.
and xbox fanboys still say its for hardcore. lol
Makes one question the whole Better with Kinect thing...
Hahahahahahahahahaha.......
Edit: OMFG it almost has?! http://www.innovationnewsda...
A Sony fanboy site gives a 360 exclusive that uses kinect a 1 out of 10.....colour me surprised lol.
You act like that kind of low score isn't going on all over the place for this game.
You sir, are a MORON! And you're not fooling anybody.
You're an obvious Xbot
I'm interested to see how smartglass is going to work with kinect. M$ is releasing this tablet, but they want you to use handsfree kinect.
I am not expecting you or any of your kind to jump ship but the warning I give you is that if the gaming media can so blatantly bash and misrepresent a product that is great and still have your trust in them they can also praise promote and influence the market on bad products.
I am actually considering creating a website (I am a web designer by trade) that shows the truth about kinect that goes through and re reviews the releases and really show the core gamers out there what they are missing and how bad they have been manipulated.
As for the review its BS, the controls work fine, there is too musch to go through with how much wrong they are spewing. If anyone is interested i'll do REAL review later on.
Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor Review (by edonus)
WOW! When they said it was going to be a true core game they were right! First of all, the game works. I know people before me have said it's fundamentally broken, but they don't know what they're doing. As long as you are smart like me and know how to make the Kinect work (It's hard to be the only person in the world to know how to make the Kinect actually function for core games) you'll enjoy one of the best gaming experiences ever.

Overall: Game of the Year and BETTER WITH KINECT!!!
NEVER anything more than that.
Hell, I love Gravity Rush, and would give it a 9-9.5/10. Even so, I acknowledge that the camera can sometimes go a little crazy. And I'll wager you that Gravity Rush is better than EVERY Kinect game, no matter what the criteria you use. It's a superb game, but it's not perfect.
Journey, my game of the year, is spectacular, but it's not perfect, either. As amazing as it is, I can't help but want more; as wowed as I am each time I play it, the content is still a little on the short side.
Legend of Dragoon, one of my favorite games of all times, suffers from poor, sometime stiff translations, and I wasn't too fond of the linear path you were forced to take from one location to the next.
I LOVE the Xenosaga series, but I felt like the AWGS in the first game were pretty useless by about halfway through. I despised the battle system in Episode II, and didn't like the half version of New Game+ they implemented in Episode III.
Nier is one of my favorite games this gen, with a great story, characters, and music. But the graphics could have been better, and the gameplay could get a little repetitive.
Final Fantasy VIII is quite possibly my favorite game of all time. But even IT suffers problems, such as the fixed camera angles sometimes hiding your characters, or that drawing Magic can be tedious.
All of these games would get no less than a 9 from me. Yet I can bring up issues with them all. Unlike you, I don't make justifications for their shortcomings; I acknowledge them and say, in spite of them, that the games are excellent.
You never do that. NEVER.
People call ME a fanboy. They say I'll blindly defend ANYTHING Sony. But I have disagreed with them, and have said so. I don't like that there's an online pass for all games with an online component, for example, and I'm disappointed that the Vita's remote play isn't fully functional yet. I could be wrong, but that doesn't sound like a fanboy.
You, on the other hand, can't even seem to fathom that people have legitimate issues with anything Kinect-related. Instead, you call it misinformation, ignorance, BS, manipulation, hatred. The only thing that is ever wrong is the person playing it.
That's a fanboy. Who wants to read reviews from a fanboy? You talk about core gamers missing out, but you can't show yourself to be aware of what core gamers would be looking for out of Kinect games, anyway, so how would your opinion be considered valid?
For instance you ask " Why it's NOT cumbersome to have to switch between using a controller ad then both hands for gestures". The answer to that question is Its not cumbersome because not only do you not have to switch between controller and both hand to do gesture you are not suppose to ever let go of your controller.
Its designed to use them both in unison. See.... in this game kinect is not tracking your fingers its only tracking the point that represents the end of your hand so it doesnt matter if you have anything in it or not. Each action you do is only registering one hand at a time, the only gesture that requires something different is the going to and from the viewport and thats just a push and a pull with while holding the controller.
So again you are basing the validity of the game off of false information.
Like I said I am not going to argue about this. i am going to sit back an continue enjoying one of the most advanced and interesting core challenging games made this gen.... WISH YOU WHERE HERE.
You have to be trolling.... If not, go to a psychiatric ward and book yourself in. It's all I can suggest for delusions this grand. I have to say that luckily, most people actually the see sense in all of this, but you are just making stuff up. You seem to buy every Kinect game, and then crap on reviewers who give it fair scores based on fair reasoning. You do this for EVERY SINGLE MAJOR KINECT GAME. Do you see core gamers doing that with every game that comes out for their Xbox, Wii, or PS3 (even with Move games?) Nope, you don't. You sometimes see that attitude with exclusives, but really only the die hards are capable of that.
Even the site 'KINECTaku' gave it a bad score/review and its THEIR JOB to analyse and review Kinect games effectively. This game cannot be anything more than average based on the genuine issues described by more than a few people, and if not that it's just downright bad.
I'm sorry but the word of a Kinect fanboy against most other people who have played that game and reviewed it fairly is simply not valid. I don't claim to have played these games, but I'm not gonna disprove something that is clearly genuine. If you want to prove otherwise, actual proof is necessary out of garbled responses to people you think are not "Kinect capable".
@ vividi (below) - the next ones to be trashed by most people who's job is to play them, but praised to high heaven by edonus, of course. ;)
Better with Kinect.
Lol this game flopped so hard and I can't believe that some people still defend it despite its horrible flaws.
