If you play alone, the game is quite entertaining. With other people, the true potential of this title shines. If you are a fan of the show, it's a no brainer. If you like fun party games, this is a great title that is very challenging and fun. I was worn out after just a few challenges but I am not the poster child for physical activity (wink wink). Although the challenges and fun might wear off after a while, I see this game being in your 360 for many gatherings to come.
Our fourth game show game arrives on the Kinect and honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect. The synopsis states:
The phrase “move it or lose it” takes on a whole new meaning with this chance to play Minute to Win It with Xbox Kinect. Experience the adrenaline rush as you compete in the quick-hit race to a million bucks while host Guy Fieri looks on. Using common household items, you’ll tackle a series of increasingly difficult tasks, laying the money you’ve won on the line each time you decide to try another. These challenges may seem easy, but with a million bucks waiting to be won, they’re a lot harder than they look. Sharpen your skills in Practice Mode then play for the big bucks in single-player, co-op, or multiplayer competition.
Zoo Entertainment sent out a press release today (October 18, 2011) announcing the availability of Minute to Win It Kinect game for Xbox 360.
From the press release:
''Minute to Win It' utilizes the Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor to offer controller-less reality gaming fun for the whole family. Run, duck, jump and dive into the action using the Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor to compete in deceptively difficult 60-second challenges taken right from NBC's hit competitive series, 'Minute To Win It.' Players will be guided by the voice talent and likeness of Guy Fieri as they fight for their chance to win the coveted million-dollar prize."
Zoo Games have released an official trailer for their video game version of the popular gameshow Minute to Win It. Check out the trailer to see a faithful re-creation of the show and some of the mini-games in action.
Isn't the whole thing with the show the idea that you can do all the challenges with cheap stuff laying around your house? Does a video game version really add a whole lot?
I'm just curious, not trying to be snarky.
I cannot believe they made a game out of this. This is right down there with Deal or No Deal. Whatever happened to the game shows that were really provocative and made you think? Like Press Your Luck? No Whammies!
I really don't need Guy Fieri in my Xbox.
