Kinect Sports Rivals Review – Gametactics

Rare has been hard at work with Kinect Sports Rivals, the first game to take advantage of the new super sensitive Kinect 2 sensor for the Xbox One. The game has some classic games from the first Kinect Sports: Bowling, Soccer and Tennis but adds new sports such as Climbing, Target Shooting and Wake Racing. Kinect Sports Rivals is different from the original Kinect Sports, you are on an island and competing in various events to gain fans, fame and fortune. Think of it as an Olympics of sorts with rival teams that you must beat. You can eventually join one of the teams and lead your team victory!

Would you say absolutely horrible hyperbole? :D

4Sh0w2514d ago (Edited 2514d ago )

Halo 5?....pffft to each his own but Halo 5 is a great game, every Xbox owner I know enjoyed it, the campaign was nice I like the teamwork concept and the multiplayer keeps 'em coming back with great gameplay & modes so much content, 343 did a helluva job.

@4Show: Uh... going to assume that's a comment intended for someone else.

spicelicka2514d ago

Not Halo 5. It had a bad story COMPARED to past games but it didn't have a bad story overall. The gameplay was top notch, and multiplayer is still one of the best on the market right now. Custom games browser is the single greatest thing 343 did which I'm grateful for.

ninsigma2514d ago

Nah it really was a bad campaign. MP was great but seriously, that was a hugely terrible story mode.

spicelicka2513d ago

The story maybe, but some of the missions were extremely fun. The Sangehlios ones are right up there with the best missions in the franchise.

Kingthrash3602514d ago

Halos mp was great but became boring quicker than most.
The story. Naw that was bad and it's marketing was a lie. Made it seem like old master chief was gunna fight that new fake master chief but the conflict ended up being a one punch cgi sequence.
Not to mention fighting the same boss over and over and over....plus add the no split screen mp and whala! You got the worst canon halo ever made

brich2332514d ago

Compared to Halo 4, Halo 5's story was trash and not memorable at all.

ninsigma2513d ago

That's not really saying much though cuz that was pretty bad as well.

ninsigma2513d ago

Agreed on sanghelios. That was one of the very few times it actually felt like halo.

Halo 5, FarCry 2, Dragon Age 2, Nuts and Bolts, and Gears of War: Judgement were all far from bad games. Hell, even Crackdown 2 was pretty fun.

There's a difference between a lesser sequel, and a bad game.

rlow12513d ago

With a Title that says "horrible sequels", most of these are far from that. Better title should be disappointing sequels. But I'm sure they went with the former to get clicks and bring in the fanboys.
