Destructoid - Kinectimals: Now With Bears Review

Destructoid - I like cats but I love bears. How could you not love those rounded ears, that fuzzy face and little nub tail? I've been known to talk to bears. At bookstores I'll flip through bear picture books like some kind of addict. At zoos I giggle at their annoyed roars, somehow translating what would normally be seen as a dangerous warning as a call of affection toward me, as if to say "come over and scratch behind my ears, kind sir." Yes, I'm absolutely weak to cute animals, especially bears.

Forget BF3, Skrimm, and UC3. Kinectimals with bears is where it's at.

Tanir4934d ago

man, thank goodness MS dumped all that money into kinect instead of actual first party studios, we would totally be missing out.

xbox fans are right, the kinect is as amazing as they thought it was going to be when it was announced

nix4934d ago

i'll play this game.... everytime i need a bear hug. thanks MS. <3

jack_burt0n4934d ago

destructoid have found their calling.

WTF?! they gave payday the heist 7.5 and they gave this and 8? not that i care about any of this games but it seems unconsistence

newleaf4934d ago

The Heist gets rated other similar games(shooters mostly), this is being rated against other games of its kind (sims pets, eyepet ect.) its a kids game, it is being rated as such.

STK0264934d ago

Were the games reviewed by the same person? If not, isn't it possible one person enjoyed more kinectimals than another enjoyed The Heist?

Have you played both games? And if so, would it be so hard for you to accept that someone other than you could actually enjoy this game more than Payday?

Reviews are subjective. If you were to ask me which is the better game between Gran Turismo 5/Forza 4 and Kane and Lynch 2 : Dog days, I'd say Kane and Lynch 2 because I don't like racing sims and I actually enjoyed the co-op in K&L2.

If you enjoy Payday, it's really all that should matter to you, who cares if someone else doesn't agree, game journalist or not.

NewVegasTroop4934d ago

wow buddy easy now, i said that i didn't care about ether game i just found it odd when i saw the N4G homepage, jeez man you take stuff to seriously....

from the beach4934d ago

Well that looks like another high quality Kinect exclusive getting well deserved scores.

JellyJelly4934d ago

Not according to the N4G mob lol. They don't want their kids to have fun.

InTheLab4934d ago

Why doesn't Jim Sterling ever review one of these games? The guy is all over major titles and has the nobodies doing Kinect kiddy games....

Another reason Destructiod shouldn't be taken seriously. It really is just one loud mouth and 6 interns...

A good list and the games included are not something I'd consider expensive. Anyone else have better suggestions for Xbox 360 games for kids?

VforVideogames4359d ago

are they for you or your kids? trustme kids really love this games and try kinect party its fun for the whole family and best of all its free from xbox live subscribers.

MkaY4359d ago

For the kids but I don't mind enjoying them too. Thanks for the tip. I just might give it a go.

Snookies124359d ago

Black Ops II. Lol sorry, kidding, kidding...

Lego Harry Potter is actually pretty fun. Although the freaking collectibles are crazy... There are way too many, and being a perfectionist hurts with a game like that.

MkaY4359d ago

Yeah LEGO games in general are good choices. Having a blast also with Nintendo's latest LEGO exclusive.

It's just too bad that most good games for kids are for PS3 or Nintendo and not for Xbox 360.

jeffgoldwin4359d ago (Edited 4359d ago )

Nintendo, but not so much ps3. Bout equal with xbox for kids games. Heck xbox and ps3 have like several hundred games for kids as it is. No way you'd ever play them all anyways.

Kinect does do well on kids games, hardcore...well no. So actually with Kinect Id say 360 holds the advantage for kids games over ps3. But meh w/e.

Viva Pinata?
Beautiful Katamari?

Bigpappy4359d ago

He is talking very young kids, 2-7. Xbox live arcade has a huge library of these game, from bubble games to fish eating other fish and yeah all the Kinect stuff where they can jump around and yell at the TV (Moms love to see kids doing this. Dads to by the way).

nigelp5204359d ago

Ill replace Sesame Street Once Upon a monster with the lego game

FaSCoRP4359d ago

You can add Fantastic Petz for very young kids

Considering how bad kinect actually is, it's not worth the money.

thebudgetgamer4711d ago

You would have to pay me for that crap.

NoobJobz4711d ago

Kinect Sports is fun. The other two......not so much.

IQUITN4G4711d ago

And yet i like Kinect very much. It's very popular when my cousins visit too. i like a variety of games from Halo, Gears and Bayonetta to different experiences too that offer a fresh new experience. It's not for everyone but i like Kinect just fine as do others. It's not that hard to describe something you don't like as bad but then what of those that enjoy the experience of Kinect
