EGM: "Since Fighter Within was just revealed for the first time, we should probably do a quick rundown of what the game actually is before we get started with our impressions. At the most basic level, it’s an Xbox One–exclusive fighting game that uses Kinect gestures instead of button inputs. Since most human beings are (at least to my knowledge) incapable of performing Shoryukens, that means it’s pretty straightforward in terms of the move set."
Buying a new video game console should be an exciting experience. Relive the launch video games that managed to suck the fun out of those purchases.
Fifa Road To World Cup 2006 might of been crap, but it had some bangin easy achievements
Night Trap was awesome, cheesy, and terrible all in one. It's a game everyone has to play.
I also loved Street Fighter The Movie, and Street Fighter: The Movie - the game.
Kylie Minogue, Ming-Na Wen and The Muscles From Brussels all in one movie/game? Yeah its already awesome.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "A few days ago, Microsoft announced that they were officially discontinuing their Kinect motion-sensing accessory. What was once considered a chief-rival to Nintendo’s Wii revolution and an integral part of the Xbox One’s launch has come to an end, and we here at Link-Cable… couldn’t be happier. The Kinect, while sporting impressive technology never managed to live up to its full potential and most of the games released for the device either had shoe-horned in support or barely functioned as intentioned, in part because of the device’s very specific ideal conditions. So as the Kinect sails off into sunset, we’ve decided to remember the worst of times and look back at the Top 10 Worst Kinect games."
Kinect, for me, is easily worth owning for two things: Dance Central for me acting like an idiot and having fun, and Kinect Party for my kids when they want to have easy-access stupid fun at like a kid's party. Those were the only games I have enjoyed on it, and they couldn't be done any other way (well, I guess that KP is EyeToy-level work). But my hope is that when motion control falls away, we'll get a proper DDR again.
Yet for 150 quid it is and was most certainly not worth owning for solely those 2 games, that you have to pay money for also.
Now far be it from me to tell you what is worth it or not worth it to you. But if that is what is worth it to you, I don't want to know what ISN'T worth it lol.
It was worth it to buy one used for half price and get one of those two games for free. ;)
Star wars wouldnt be so bad if it didnt have.... the dancing. Ughhh that dancing.
They should do a list of 10 best kinect games as well. I'm sure fruit ninja and gun stringer would be on there. Those are actually fun to play.
When buying a new video game console - these were the titles that didn't do them justice.
Dead on arrival. Or should i say before.
Beautiful visuals.
Too bad it's for such a crappy price of tech. If they added controller support, the game would do much better.
People expect 1 to 1 in fighting games. Even causals will. You could exaggerate a bit on the hitting, but doing gestures only work for magic, not hitting.
I am disappointed with what Ubi is trying to do here. It is like they had too much success with just dance and assumed that formula can also work in a fighting game. NOT!
This must be Ubisoft's crap game of the year. After they launch Watchdogs, their annual Assassin's Creed installment, and Rayman, what else do they have?
The Division, the Crew (I believe) are 2014 releases.
Unleash the Kinect shovelware title!
Does not sound good. If it can't be 1:1 than it should not be done, especially a fighting game.
