Reviews around family (4.35 of 5)

  • If you've got overweight family members, throw out all the other games and replace them with the kinect and a few kinect games.
  • I don't think my family has ever had so much fun together while playing video games
  • With our new addition the family it's a major pain to get up and get the controller when our son is sleeping on us in a baby carrier
  • I was skeptical that the Kinect addition to the XBOX would make it too family friendly and a little insulting to the serious gamer
  • My family and I enjoyed playing Kinect Games so much especially in the weekend

Reviews around way (4.33 of 5)

  • The way you change the color is you put up a real life object in the middle of the screen and the game "extracts" that color
  • The way it's currently sitting in my house causes it to lose my hands and fingers if I reach up.
  • Fun, and great way to interact with friends and family!
  • I find it unintuitive to navigate the "Metro" menu interface, and it often confuses itself as to which of my hands is going up to command it
  • The Kinect really does provide a revolutionary way to interact with your xbox, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Reviews around price (4.25 of 5)

  • The price can be a bit crazy, but I will just say that it depends on how much you think you'll use it
  • Also, I compared the sensor against other on line retailers and it was the best price out there.
  • And if you consider the pricing, its cheaper than the MOVE
  • Very impressed with this product and for what it is the price is not bad!Awesome
  • My fiancée (who normally hates video games) actually enjoyed this, but wasn't upset at all when I returned it.

Reviews around workout (4.23 of 5)

  • After 3 weeks I have lost 2 inches and close to 10pounds on Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout
  • They'll go down stairs for hours and get a pretty good workout having fun.
  • Do yourself a favor and buy this thing it's fun and a GREAT workout.
  • After a couple of hours playing Kinect Sports yesterday, I can say the system works great, we had a lot of fun, we got a great light workout and at least this game is very good
  • But I want a fitness game to make we want to come back day after day, give me a hard but enjoyable workout, and be flexible enough to accommodate my fitness whims

Reviews around system (4.13 of 5)

  • The system itself is very responsive and is a lot of fun
  • Glitches happen from time to time, but overall a great system.
  • The system is slow to respond and the games selection sucks!
  • Anytime one of them wanders into the Kinect's vision field the system goes haywire and you can't control the menus.
  • This is a great system and I like it much better than the WII

Reviews around fun (4.12 of 5)

  • Kinect Adventures and Sport are great fun as well and Your Shape can give you one heck of a workout
  • Even the Adventures game it comes with a great fun with a lot of variety.
  • This Kinect Sensor is unbelievable and the future potential for it and what it means to gaming, chatting, competition online, and overall fun is hard to comprehend.
  • Dance Central is a fun party game, and fun if you like to dance
  • And because it is EXHAUSTING to duck, jump, side-step, etc, the Kinect makes accidental exercise fun, no one has to wait for a turn for very long

Reviews around sensor (3.94 of 5)

  • For some reason the sensor doesn't work as well with dark colors.
  • The Kinect adventure games will complement the sensor well and provide many hours off fun for all
  • The sensor made us confused a bit at first, but as we got used to it, it was very easy to control
  • The Kinect adventure games will complement the sensor well and provide many hours off fun for all
  • I felt since this unit relies on you taking care of it since if the sensor breaks or scratches it might not work

Reviews around experience (3.91 of 5)

  • Kinect Sports isn't the revolutionary experience that Wii Sports was, though it does have its own charm
  • the PS3 move while more intuitive than the wii, the camera ruins the experience and makes it a pain to set up, the games aren't worth the price either at this point.
  • My fiancée (who normally hates video games) actually enjoyed this, but wasn't upset at all when I returned it.
  • That was the best gaming experience I had in my whole life

Reviews around thing (3.52 of 5)

  • The amazing thing about the kinect is how well it works it in the right room
  • This thing is so precise and its fun with a group of people
  • The one thing I am disappointed about is that the Kinect will not work with the regular dashboard just yet
  • The only negative thing about the kinect is that if you have a floor that isnt very sturdy and you are doing something in a game that requires running or alot of jumping, the sensor will show an error because the floor is vibrating the sensor to
  • The most amazing thing about Kinect is that anyone in the room can stand up and play

Reviews around blah (2.94 of 5)

  • I have so much fun when I play this both by myself as well as with multiple people or just me and my husband
  • I can see this being a fun game for a party and something the whole family can do and look forward to watching my friends and family give it a try as I'm sure they will be laughing and smiling as they get caught up in it
  • A lot of people are upset that the kinect is even coming out, saying it's just for casual players blah, blah, blah
  • I find it unintuitive to navigate the "Metro" menu interface, and it often confuses itself as to which of my hands is going up to command it

Reviews around gamers (2.54 of 5)

  • Though the real games I want to see are for hard-core gamers
  • It is something for everyone to play and even hardcore gamers will enjoy it when not playing Halo or Black Ops
  • KINECT is definitely NOT replacing the XBOX360 controller anytime soon, specially for the HARD core gamers (FPS, RPG, MMOs

  • You will have so much fun, while also burning calories unknowingly!
  • If u play the Kinect, make sure u have water and possibly a fan in the room because u will be burning calories
  • Not only that I am able to enjoy playing the games, but I also get to burn calories in the process which is great!
  • I figured the "entry" style casual games would be very ho-hum but found that they are very entertaining and will burn some calories as well :)Using your whole body makes a world of difference between this and something like the Wii motes and the PS3 Move.

Reviews around bite (2.08 of 5)

  • Kinect Adventures is a bit too difficult for her to play, although she enjoys jumping.
  • As others have stated, it does require a good bit of space in order for it to track properly (6' or more) and the launch games leave alot to be desired with the exception of Dance Central.
  • All games are pretty good excersize and a good bit of fun
  • It's a neat bit of technology, but I'd say it could use some work
  • When I first saw Kinect being demonstrated on television and internet videos, I was a bit skeptical

Reviews around space requirement (2.07 of 5)

  • My fiancée (who normally hates video games) actually enjoyed this, but wasn't upset at all when I returned it.
  • My favorite experiences have been Kinect Sports, Dance Central, and Your Shape, all amazing products that just work exactly as you'd expect them to
  • My fiancée (who normally hates video games) actually enjoyed this, but wasn't upset at all when I returned it.
  • Pros: exercise, no controller, impressive tech, even better as a social gameCons: fragile hardware, space requirement (about 8 feet in front of sensor), my physical stamina doesn't allow me to play as much as I'd like (it'll get better over time and that is actually a positive), I would like to use it in more versatile ways- with apps like Netflix and music library; not just Kinect games, Last FM and Zune.

Reviews around skin (1.54 of 5)

Reviews around mind blow (1.54 of 5)

  • There just seems to be something mind blowing about interacting with the games without being attached to any controllers.

  • I love I it a lot
  • We have had so much fun with this, and the technology is mind-blowing to me!

Reviews around weight (1.44 of 5)

  • On the other hand I have gained weight during past couple of months that it's very hard to play - let say tennis - against other players and not to make them frustrated by your inability to run fast enough

Reviews around design (1.44 of 5)

  • This is a big problems because most home theaters or game rooms are not designed to be well light
  • My fiancée (who normally hates video games) actually enjoyed this, but wasn't upset at all when I returned it.
  • I love I it a lot
  • This is why I found some of the exercise games, designed to track your form, somewhat unusable
  • However, I believe that Microsoft is acknowledging the issue and offering free repairs for those affected consoles.--Game Selection--Because this is such a new technology, there seem to be two classes of games: those that are amazing, responsive, and fun to play; and those that are absolutely horrible, whether due to poor code, poor user interface design, or poor concept

Reviews around winter (1.38 of 5)

  • I love I it a lot
  • They love it, and we love the fact that they are off of the couch and jumping around getting some much needed exercise during this long, cold Winter
  • We're hoping this will burn off some excess energy and keep them moving in our cold northern winters.
  • It made a great gift and has proved not only to be great family fun; it helps burn up all of that unused energy we all have, due to the unusually cold winter we are having in the Midwest this year.
  • Great for us since we're in the Chicago area and have tons of cold winter days

Reviews around core (1.11 of 5)

  • But I do believed Kinect has helped hard core gamers inadvertently, let me explain
  • Also i believe eventually we will have hard core games like Halo, Fallout etc.. available for Kinect
  • This will increase the amount of people playing those hardcore games, and perhaps, maybe all them guy hard core gamers will start to see more girls online
  • Also i believe eventually we will have hard core games like Halo, Fallout etc.. available for Kinect
  • My husband also believes that hard core games will eventually show up for the Kinect, but as of now, we are both very happy with the Kinect experience!
