tempted, so tempted. never played the original, or wii sports for that matter, so all events would be fresh. i LOVED the jet ski demo - it worked flawlessly, and bowling and tennis seem like a natural fit.
my big question: will my 3 year old be able to have fun with it? she tries to play the jet ski demo but as you can imagine she doesnt have the coordination and understanding of how it should work. will bowling/rock climbing/shooting be more intuitive? does anyone have small children that can shed some light on their experiences?
i think 3 years might be a bit too young, sadly. the various events, even at the their simplest, are just too technical for a child of that age to enjoy. i still think it would make a great party game regardless. its something you could probably enjoy by yourself in short bursts or with your significant other. i suppose theres always a chance your kid could take a liking to one of the events and really master it, but.. i dont know
I don't think the game is terrible (except tennis -- wtf), but it should be nowhere near $60. It should be a free pack-in, really, especially considering it is ad supported
exactly what problems do you have with tennis? the timing of the shots? i think it plays pretty well, if a bit slow. i wouldve much preferred table tennis, to be honest. and saying its ad supported is a bit much. dont want anyone to think you have to sit through commercials after all
Hey there,
I had to rearrange my furniture because I live in quite a small apartment. That wasn't the issue that I had though. The issue was that even though the Kinect had a FULL view of my body (as evident in the diagram and also my kinect settings), it was extremely finicky. I would get that constant dialogue coming up where my lower or top half of my body wasn't viewable which would mean that i'd have to pick up a controller to move it away. IT was THIS dialogue box that was so frustrating because as far as I could tell, my body was in full view and the game was working fine.
Weird that people had a hard time with rock climbing. I found that there was a certain skill to it but I didn't feel that it was the Kinects fault..
thats certainly very strange if you could fit in the sensor's view. i had the same dialogue box appear once but i only because it couldnt quite see my hands in rock climbing (i fixed that). i appreciate your review and wasnt trying to dismiss it or anything.
I've added you both, ElNino77 is my GT if anyone wants to add me.
The game wasn't delivered for me today, but tracking shows it should be here tomorrow.
cool, man. you can begin playing fairly early into the installation, but i waited it out so i dont whats available right out of the gate.
i chose Viper Network as my team. i think the two team leaders had more personality than the rest. i actually kind of like them for as bare bones as the "story" is.
and wow. the soundtrack for this game is pretty cool. its no Forza Horizon, but its good.
edit.. also for those who've played.. will my 3 year old be picked up by Kinect you think for bowling? I want to see if he can give that game a try. Just the bowling. It picks his face up and signs him in, but wondering about the controls.
read my first reply. its a maybe.
edit. oh, if the sensor will pick him up? i dont know. might be too short
