Viewed as an exercise tool it's not terrible, and certainly more fun than some of the mini-games you'll get in something like Your Shape: Fitness Evolved. Flapping your hands around, getting up off the sofa and swinging your arms and legs in different directions, especially in the company of others, can be fun. However, if you consider it in its intended form, that of a fighting game, it's horribly lacking (much like Fighters Uncaged, which tried the same trick back on the original Kinect). There's not enough accuracy in the moves, there's not enough variation in the characters, and the only compelling part of the game is the novelty of the Kinect controls, and they don't work very well."
Buying a new video game console should be an exciting experience. Relive the launch video games that managed to suck the fun out of those purchases.
Fifa Road To World Cup 2006 might of been crap, but it had some bangin easy achievements
Night Trap was awesome, cheesy, and terrible all in one. It's a game everyone has to play.
I also loved Street Fighter The Movie, and Street Fighter: The Movie - the game.
Kylie Minogue, Ming-Na Wen and The Muscles From Brussels all in one movie/game? Yeah its already awesome.

What was once considered a chief-rival to Nintendo’s Wii revolution and an integral part of the Xbox One’s launch has come to an end, and we here at Link-Cable… couldn’t be happier. The Kinect, while sporting impressive technology never managed to live up to its full potential and most of the games released for the device either had shoe-horned in support or barely functioned as intentioned, in part because of the device’s very specific ideal conditions. So as the Kinect sails off into sunset, we’ve decided to remember the worst of times and look back at the Top 10 Worst Kinect games."
Kinect, for me, is easily worth owning for two things: Dance Central for me acting like an idiot and having fun, and Kinect Party for my kids when they want to have easy-access stupid fun at like a kid's party. Those were the only games I have enjoyed on it, and they couldn't be done any other way (well, I guess that KP is EyeToy-level work). But my hope is that when motion control falls away, we'll get a proper DDR again.
Yet for 150 quid it is and was most certainly not worth owning for solely those 2 games, that you have to pay money for also.
Now far be it from me to tell you what is worth it or not worth it to you. But if that is what is worth it to you, I don't want to know what ISN'T worth it lol.
It was worth it to buy one used for half price and get one of those two games for free. ;)
Star wars wouldnt be so bad if it didnt have.... the dancing. Ughhh that dancing.
They should do a list of 10 best kinect games as well. I'm sure fruit ninja and gun stringer would be on there. Those are actually fun to play.
When buying a new video game console - these were the titles that didn't do them justice.
