I was really just poking fun at S & P 2, I should work on my sarcasm or something, let's just say it's 2am.

I ended up tilting my kinect so it only captures my waist up and it works awesome, just go to the kinect tuner.

When I started playing this game I was worried that the Kinect support wasn't to my liking. But after setting the cursor speed to fast and getting to level 3 I now don't even really want to play it with a controller.

900k with 100 percent purification, I missed a health pickup on the way. As for how many tries, I am on level 3 and have like, 60 stars, so while i'm not sure how many, it was a LOT imo. My finger hurts. My top score is only slightly higher with 99 percent.
I will say, kinect doesn't work so well for going for these for me, trying to keep rhythm while not missing one thing is pretty insane, but it's worse because you can actually stop some enemies from ever appearing by not playing 'right'

$10?Cheska said:I succumbed to the pressure and picked this up today for $10. Oh.my.god. It's so much better than I expected. The game is visually stunning and just so much fun, holy shit. I think it's going to take me a while to get used to it though, because I was no where near a gold star
In-store credit?
Only a small handful of people are gonna get gold stars in this game...it's probably the equivalent to getting S rankings in Ikaruga. Except not nearly as impossible as Ikaruga, but that difficulty barrier is pretty high in this game
After playing with controller and knowing the scoring system, I don't see myself using Kinect much at all. I'd like to see someone kill this game with Kinect though.

Kinect is pretty fun and immersive, but yeah now that I'm more hardcore into it, I see myself using the pad way more.
i do plan on trying to gold star on normal (there is none for hard thank god) but yeah, i was expecting this to be a breeze like rez and instead I'm getting something that tears my throat out ala NG2 on master or some shit. Sheesh.
Btw, $40 at Fry's starting tomorrow till Thursday.

Soooo... how bout that challenge mode? Does anyone know how long it goes on for. It is kicking my ass. I keep dieing at the same place. The purple bullets are so hard to see since they just blend into the background.
Anyone have any tips on how to stay alive longer since there seem to be no additional life power-ups?

If you are tall you might have to put it on top of your TV to capture your hand movements. It really depends on each game and how it uses the play space, the Your Space game seems to want me to be back further than I can possibly go, Kinect Adventures is somewhere in the middle and Kinect Sports works pretty well even in a small Japanese apartment. My impression is they are continuously improving the way it works for smaller spaces and didn't really know how to do it well for the launch titles.
So apparently I really suck at this game. I cruised through the first two levels but have died four times now on the third. Ouch.
What are you guys generally finding to be the best settings for the Kinect speed and smoothness? I moved it up to fast speed and just felt like it was way too janky.

I finally got to play my copy of Child of Eden. At first I was disappointed with Kinect... I found it difficult to get used to and thought the changing between hands made things unnecessarily more difficult because the camera would move wildly from its previous position, so I decided to play through the first two Archives with a controller to get a feel for the game.
After reaching the Beauty Archive (hard!) I decided to hop back over to Kinect and try the first Archive again - and everything just fell into place. My God, the word 'experience' is thrown around so much in the gaming industry, but Child of Eden actually lives up to the claim. I'm even grinning like a fool while typing this.
The game is just beautiful.
(My right arm is fucking killing me)
Oh and I love the music that plays during your Space Whale encounter.

Really enjoying it so far. Have barely scratched the surface though.
Some of the FMV background stuff is too cheesy for my taste, but the gameplay is there.

My copy arrived yesterday and I got the chance this afternoon to sit down and spend some time with it.
Oh. My. God.

I can't believe how amazing an experience it was. I literally played for two and a half hours with goosebumps. Granted, I am a huge dance music/Rez/Mizuguchi fan so I knew I was going to enjoy the game, but it has completely exceeded my huge expectations.
The first couple of stages are a nice introduction and a nice way of getting back into the Rez groove (haven't played it since Rez HD came out on 360 a couple of years ago) again.
Stage 4 was a nice

the ending, but it completely blew me away. I can't have been the only one who was welling up, close to tears but with a huge grin on my face while playing through it.
Hats off to Miz. He has taken Rez and evolved it, making Child of Eden at the very least as amazing as Rez is.
It's going to take a hell of a lot to stop this being my game of the year. It's already one of my games of the generation and one of my favourite games I have ever played, being an evolution of Rez.
Absolutely amazing.

little tribute-of-sorts to Rez with the wireframe visuals, human-looking enemies and harder music, much like the Techno of Rez.

Finally got to play it with Kinect: amazing!
At first it was a bit awkward, but after changing crosshair speed to high and smoothing to low, it was nearly perfect (I don't know why, but it seemed to me that smoothing added some latency; I'd rather have it "jump" all over the screen so I can make fast movements and quick adjustments).
This game is glorious, Kinect or not, it's a must have.

I made it to what I think was the "final boss" of the game last nite... chapter 5 in this game is a bit disappointing compared to Rez. I love the game but as an experience, I think it falls a bit short of Rez... music isn't as memorable and the final area was pretty bland compared to the rest of the game. Don't get me wrong, the game is still fantastic (I love the rhythm-based multiplier and the laser for shooting down purple bullets)... easily my 2011 GOTY.

Nice to see someone else with this as their GOTY
About what you said about the music not being as memorable as Rez - were you a Genki Rockets fan before Child of Eden? I was and definitely think it helped me appreciate the music a bit more, even if Rez's Techno is what I would call my preference in the genre.
