Kotaku Review: Fighters Uncaged And The Problem With Punching Air

In the classic boxing movie Rocky II, Rocky Balboa learned to beat better fighters by chasing a chicken. As an instrument for simulating face-pummeling and rib-cracking, Fighters Uncaged — the first Kinect fighting game! — is only slightly less ridiculous.

Fighters Uncaged is a fighting game played in the spacious part of your living room, where you have room to throw punches, kicks and headbutts. With nary a controller in your hand, your moves are tracked by the advanced Kinect sensor and used to pummel some virtual trash-talking dude on your TV. With patience, you can unlock a full dozen bad guys to beat up, all with a virtual hero you're violently puppeteering. Given how awesome video games are at violence, surely Ubisoft's Fighters Uncaged game should at least be as good as a Kinect dancing game, right?

"Ideal Player

People who eat steak raw, who prefer rough drafts to polished texts and those who want to sit a grandchild on their knee some day and tell them about the days when motion-fighting games on the Xbox 360 sometimes mistook punches for kicks and were, uh, single-player."

LOL. looks like Kinect has its very own Move Title:The Fight in terms of bad reviews

Star Wars Outlawa has some real potential. I loved the Fallen Order games but the abundant timed jumps at times took me out of the narrative as they could be come frustrating. The branching options and status with factions looks great.

-Foxtrot1d 18h ago

Prince of Persia 2026…REALLY? And that’s all they had for us…a candle.

Jesus. Imagine if they didn’t give it to a shitty support studio and tried to sell us a sloppy remake years ago

Now we have (no hate on quality here) two PoP games no one asked for. We could have been anticipating a Warrior Within remake by now.

Elda1d 18h ago

LOL!! They should have even announced it. They should have just waited a year from now to announce it with some gameplay. Lame.

Terry_B1d 18h ago

Sorry for everyone who watched this ;)

LordoftheCritics1d 18h ago

Where's the quadruple A games?

Elda1d 18h ago

No surprises just updates on existing games & games that have already been announced. A lame show.

-Foxtrot1d 18h ago

The "could have been an email" type of show.

We can hope. Especially if the rumors of Cillian Murphy and Alaska are true.

RaidenBlack12d ago

That'd be too good if true.
But Henderson also leaked that next Far Cry setting was targeting some asian island.

jznrpg11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

With their shitty practices I really don’t care what Ubisoft announces until they reverse their course

Relientk7712d ago

Assassin's Creed Hexe is what I wanna hear about most. Yes I wanna play as a witch with magic during the 16 century witch trials in Germany (as per rumors). Sign me up

Huey_My_D_Long12d ago

Yeah, Hex sounds amazing to me as well, and I've been playing since AC 1. I'm real curious how are they gonna fit the magic into the game, maybe in similar way the dlc introduced gods and god abilities. but I love that I've heard its gonna have a horror vibe.

Garethvk12d ago

Hopefully it is full of good stuff.

Garethvk12d ago

I would love The Division 3.

RaidenBlack12d ago

The studio just completed Avatar and busy with Outlaws and also got their F2P Heartland cancelled ... IMO, Division 3 will surely come but it'll take more time.
I'd be most thrilled if Ubisoft greenlits a sequel or at least a remake of the studio's first game i.e World in Conflict

anast12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

I would get hyped about Hexe. If the rumors are true, UBI might get a gold edition purchase out of me.

Demetrius12d ago

Hopefully gameplay of ac shadows or star wars outlaws, if they finally announce the new far cry I'm definitely getting that, far cry still fun af and gorgeous games, yeah ubisoft has their faults but atleast they're not copying souls like games their titles still have identity

neutralgamer199212d ago

We will definitely see gameplay for star wars and AC. Farcry let's see

OtterX12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

I'm going to be an outlier amongst the rest of these comments.... give us something NEW! I'm pretty burnt out on Ubisoft franchises, unless you're giving us a new Rayman game!

*Edit - imagine what they could do with a Rayman 3D game in this day and age. I say now is the time to revisit the series.

RaidenBlack12d ago

Would love a AAA PoP too or a back to roots Ghost Recon (none of the open world stuff)

MeatyUrologist12d ago

Hell yes! Ghost recon in the style of the originals with real consequences, permanent and all!

jznrpg11d ago

I love Rayman, played it a ton with my kids years ago. But Ubisoft puts dumb crap in their games. MTs , paid tiers , always online requirement for single player games and as they stand now I could see them doing that to Rayman

OtterX11d ago

Yea unfortunately, you're right. :'(

Garethvk12d ago

Beyond Good and Evil 2: It is coming really; we promise.

OtterX12d ago

Their microtransaction monetization scheme on it will lie somewhere between good and evil!

Haha JK.... it'll be completely evil. 🙃
