RECOMMENDED: MICROSOFT’S KINECT RANGE KINECT LAUNCH TITLES


The versatility of 360’s highly anticipated motion controller is demonstrated with a brand new family of games. James Batchelor looks at Kinect’s pioneers


KINECT ADVENTURES


THE GAME that comes bundled with Kinect itself provides the perfect way to grow accustomed to the controller. This compilation of mini-games puts players in a variety of bizarre scenarios, such as rafting down river rapids, minecart racing and even floating around in outer space. Players control their on-screen Xbox


Avatar by dodging, jumping, punching and kicking their way to the top. They can tackle these adventures on their own, or invite a friend to join in.


All of the mini-games offer both competitive and co-operative challenges – so while they must work together to guide a raft down a raging river, they also have to collect more tokens than their partner.


KINECT SPORTS


BECAUSE no motion controller would be complete without a collection of sporting events for its early adopters to enjoy. This Rare-developed compilation lets players and their Avatars test their skills in six different events: soccer, beach volleyball, bowling, table tennis, track and field and boxing. These can all be played solo or as team- based games, with two players taking on AI- controlled characters – or each other. Each sport also comes with different pre-set challenges, giving competitive Xbox owners a reason to come back and master them all. Players are able to outwit goalies while shooting penalties, add spin and force to their shots in volleyball or table tennis, and control the angle of their javelin as they hurl it towards the target area.
