$15 when we are getting so much for free is at the top end for me at wait for sale but I'm going to have to buy this for my little boy.

How can 4 people play within Kinect's field of view side-by-side, waving their hands in the air like they just don't care, without knocking each other in the face?

that's the beauty of 4 player kinect, the slaughter of tripping up of your friends!

With the first game being fun on iOS and all that I just can't pay $15 for a sequel, add me to the list of people who will buy it once it's half that.

Darn. I have been waiting for a new Fruit Ninja game. As others have said, that price is just a bit steep for me. Especially after only paying $5 more for an excellent game like Ori.
 
Cool. I'll probably wait for the price to drop to $10 though.

Reminds me that it's ridiculous we still haven't gotten a Kinect Party port on Xbox One.

I will be grabbing this up. Had fun with the first one, and now the co-op just means Saturday Night Margarita's just got a bit dangerous.

I didn't even know this was even an idea! I love FN on my phone and tablet, as do my kids and girlfriend. Is this a One exclusive?

The first one in Kinect was shockingly good.
I even won the competition here on GAF, but Halfbrick never sent me the goodies! :p

There's a 360 version, but I don't know if it's coming to the PS4. My nieces and nephews absolutely loved the 360 one even though they weren't very good at it.

It's a super fun game lol. I might have to get this one at some point to put my kinect 2 to work.

I am hoping Giant Bomb give it a look, purely because they had quite a bit of fun with the original. Hope they still have a Kinect hooked up, plus I'm sure Dan would like to get a bit ridiculous with this :)

Reviews have been pretty good so far too, almost all 7's or 8's!

Loved the first Fruit Ninja along with Dance Central and Double Fine Happy Action Theater. Great party games.

Will buy this later.

I spent a few minutes with the game and like it a lot, especially the new gameplay elements like avoiding shurikens or search light, and throwing kunais at targets. I also like the little touches like saluting to pause the game. I was afraid it would be too similar to the first one, but that's clearly not the case.
The one thing I would have liked though, especially after playing the festival mode, is a different gameplay for the "stealth" games. Avoiding the searchlight is fine, but too similar to the shuriken targets. Staying motionless to disappear would be more original, maybe with a specific pose (to make things more complex, you could have different poses to meld into different backgrounds, like hiding behind a wood/stone/bamboo/... texture)

Bought it to combat a grey Easter weekend. Going down a storm. The dodging levels (shuriken, searchlight) are a decent workout for lazy slobs like me as you move around a lot.

I like how it seems to scale players so my ten year old and I can both stand in the same spot and the game will adjust our shadows to fill the screen.

Multiplayer has already caused a couple of clashed arms though. It'd be good to have a multiplayer take it in turns mode. Going to be leaving this alone otherwise I think.

Is there a way to register other players? Currently everyone is adding to my score, would be good to have a local scoreboard to see how we are doing. And any Easter eggs?
