" It is the perfect companion piece for those who loved the first game and who want more events to try. Some of the sports really shine as great uses of the new Motion Control technology, and the title would be perfectly acceptable was it simply a Darts and Baseball simulator; those sports are just so good. The fact that most of the featured events are so easy to pick up and play make so much sense to even non-gamers, really helping to exemplify what Kinect is all about. Now with voice control and even less barriers between the player and the sport, you really ARE the controller, more than ever before."
With Microsoft announcing that they’re stopping production of the Kinect, we reflect and look back at some of the highlights that the motion based peripheral has given us.
I actually prefer KS season one, and Kinect Adventure over most on the list. But its good that someone else was bold enough to say these were fun and interesting games to play.
If you got young kids around the house, you don't want to be playing games like COD or DOOM. These are some kid friendly games you could get to keep your kiddo's entertained.
James O'Connor of MMGN: Motion controlled games can only succeed, I think, when they don’t have a clear vested interest in proving the worth of the technology, and Rivals feels a bit too much like a tech demo.
The only problem I have for it is the lack of mini games... I like 5/6 of the games in Rivals, but there are quite a few they should have brought back from previous entries... I won't be paying $60 for what's available now...
Love K-Sports! Full online play means I can beat up on my nieces and nephews no matter where they are. Oh, and their moms and dads too.
They had me at...
'Darts is another very successful event and is probably the most pick up and play out of the whole lot.'
I've been trying to find the perfect dart game for motion control systems since Wii.
Currently Top Darts for the Move has the crown, but I'm really glad to hear K. Sports may be really good as well.
The biggest draw was a fun golf game. After playing the demo, I'm simply amazed at what the devs have pulled off. It bring the fun and simplicity of the old Hot Shots golf to motion controls. Easier pick up and play than the Wii and the voice controlled change of clubs is an ingenious touch.
Motion Sports already showed Kinect could do Football, but this looks like just a fun add on as well as baseball.
The whole package looks to simply add to of the funnest motion controlled games this gen within 1 year of Kinect being on the market.
Kudos to Rare and Big Park..
Day one for me..and I can't even say that about DC2

I didn't review it, but Darts is really fun! It's hard to describe, you kinda have to play it - but it's my favourite sport on the disc!
Looking forward to trying out the Golf game!
Golf is also excellent - took me aback how fun it was.
