Okay so I knuckled down and said f*ck it.
….I purchased a kinect and I must say I am really impressed. I am no gamer and no this is not perfect/flawless for you OVER analyzers but it is simply just fun! Technology like this blows me away and reminds me of a technology I would get a glimpse of in a movie like Minority Report with Tom Cruise. I’ve tried the adventures game that came with it and its simply cool and entertaining. From there I tried some demos which led me to purchase kinect sports and then kinect joy ride as well. They are what I would expect and more. I purchased a Wii when it initially came out just for the ineractive sports package and mario kart. Compared to the Wii, id have to say Kinect is a bit more advanced. Yes the joy ride automatically accelerates and brakes for you but what do you expect when you just have your body as the controller. Some critics make no sense to me when they say that this would be a negative feature. I believe this kinect is not so much for the serious gamer but more for the everyday person who doesn’t mind having a little fun everyonce in awhile…..like me. with that said, I believe this technology will grow and make the true gamers games a even more realistic experience in the near future. Sometimes the motion can be slightly off but not enough to bother me. I would prefer a faster and easier way to get back to the main menus too. Having to re set my kinect to recognize me and my playing space before every single game can be annoying….in the begining its informative but then it gets redundant. But these don’t bother me to a point of discouragement. This is just me trying to explain what I didn’t prefer if I had to find a negative thing to say about my experience. All and all I am really impressed.. I use my Wii mainly as a netflix controller now so I am hoping that this kinect for xbox will eventually not join the Wii catching dust. I was excited about the Wii at first because it was interactive and different just like the kinect but playing the kinect is truley a cardio experience from the work out game to the race car games. I give it a 9 out of 10 only because some navigation frustration at times which in all truth, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was my ignorance that causes it. Like I said I am not a gamer and I don’t like reading directions
