You may have seen this scenario coming a mile away, but as of now on the launch day of Kinect Star Wars it appears the critics at least are quite divided over the game.
Kinect Star Wars, a groundbreaking game released in April 2012 for the Xbox 360, utilized the Kinect motion-sensing peripheral to plunge players into the heart of the Star Wars universe.
One of the worst things to happen to Star Wars was it being exclusive to Kinect when PS Move could have been a better version because of "buttons" per Kevin with better tracking. And the controller looking like a light saber hilt. Or, had an actual light saber game similar to the dojo in Vader Immortal.
But the miming lies on the Microsoft E3 stage was icing on the cake of this garage. Wasn't even live gameplay. Just bad acting. Nothing ground breaking about this travesty.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "This piece wasn’t meant to say that Star Wars‘ gaming future is ruined forever, nor that there isn’t a chance for a good AAA Star Wars game to come out in the near future. I need to reiterate that, yes, I’m looking forward to Jedi Fallen Order. Then again, as a massive Star Wars fan, like most of you I miss the days when we would get loads of titles a year, each one focused on one specific feature of the franchise. I’d rather have a slew of smaller Star Wars games being released every year, some good and some not as good, than one big generic title being released every two years. These are always at the risk of being criticized due to typical AAA practices like expensive season passes, cut content, or microtransactions. Had Disney allowed for anyone, especially mid-range developers and publishers, to bring their creative and risk-free ideas to life, I’m sure fans would have rejoiced. And Disney’s pockets would most certainly fill up faster than nowadays."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Kinect Star Wars gave me the opportunity to witness Darth Vader and the Emperor dancing to Deadmau5's "Ghosts n' Stuff" like a couple of teenage ravers on ecstasy. That's the best thing I never thought I'd ever see in my life."
lol I remember this. Almost as much of an embarrassment as the Star Wars Holiday Special
I thought awesome at E3, ever since it has been pretty clear from everything shown of the main thing, lightsabring combat, that the game's average at best. I actually think the Pod racing is perhaps keeping some critics from unleashing the force in their reviews.
Let's settle it...
Hit agree if you think it's awesome or disagree if you think average shovelware
They made this game for my 8 year old son, right? There can't really be anyone over the age of say, 12-13, who honestly thought this was going to be the next big Star Wars thing, right?
shovelware indeed. The critic split is most likely attributed to greased palms.
Seems like all the people giving this game its highest scores are minor blogs/websites. The big publications appear to be of the opinion that it's a terrible game.
