So it comes as no surprise that they would have a hand in making an actual game. What better way than to base it on an extreme sport they already sponsor. Bongfish (the developers of the Stoked series) and Red Bull have brought the fun and excitement of the Ice Cross Downhill Championship, without the worry of bruises, into your home thanks to Kinect. However I strongly advise you do your usual pre-Kinect play warm-up before getting started, and no this doesn’t mean just down a few cans of Red Bull. (Kinect didn’t recognise my wings!!!)
Red Bull gives you wings and apparently ice skates, as the game Red Bull Crashed Ice Kinect shows. In this Kinect only title, you're racing on a frozen downhill course with obstacles to tackle. Although it seems like just another generic racing game spit out for Kinect, it actually offers a bit of solid game play. On the downside, those experiences are rather short-lived.
Worth Playing - Fly down Ice Cross Downhill tracks at incredible speed, carve through turns, pull off stunts and crash your way to victory across five tracks. Take the prize and become the world champion on the leaderboards, battling it out with other players around the world.
Game Informer - Ice is unpredictable. For as long as I can remember, any sport that used ice skating as its backbone has fascinated me. Every time a competitor steps on it, not only do they have to navigate the ice’s own obstacles, but they’re usually adding on stunts. Whether it’s landing a triple axel or deking around a group of defenders to score a goal, these athletes have no fear of the ice’s risks. So much so that some are actually willing to increase them.
