The development team has gone to great lengths to ensure that every game mode feels different to the next, and has overcome any issues with length by adding lots of replayability in terms of high scores, unlockables and alternative game modes. The force really is strong with this one.
Celebrate 13 years of Kinect Star Wars — the game that let you dance as Han Solo and swing invisible lightsabers in your living room.
Kinect Star Wars, a groundbreaking game released in April 2012 for the Xbox 360, utilized the Kinect motion-sensing peripheral to plunge players into the heart of the Star Wars universe.
One of the worst things to happen to Star Wars was it being exclusive to Kinect when PS Move could have been a better version because of "buttons" per Kevin with better tracking. And the controller looking like a light saber hilt. Or, had an actual light saber game similar to the dojo in Vader Immortal.
But the miming lies on the Microsoft E3 stage was icing on the cake of this garage. Wasn't even live gameplay. Just bad acting. Nothing ground breaking about this travesty.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "This piece wasn’t meant to say that Star Wars‘ gaming future is ruined forever, nor that there isn’t a chance for a good AAA Star Wars game to come out in the near future. I need to reiterate that, yes, I’m looking forward to Jedi Fallen Order. Then again, as a massive Star Wars fan, like most of you I miss the days when we would get loads of titles a year, each one focused on one specific feature of the franchise. I’d rather have a slew of smaller Star Wars games being released every year, some good and some not as good, than one big generic title being released every two years. These are always at the risk of being criticized due to typical AAA practices like expensive season passes, cut content, or microtransactions. Had Disney allowed for anyone, especially mid-range developers and publishers, to bring their creative and risk-free ideas to life, I’m sure fans would have rejoiced. And Disney’s pockets would most certainly fill up faster than nowadays."

getting good scores, the lowest i've seen so far is from IGN. (IGN gave it a 5.5)
So far, ThisisXbox, Xboxer360, CVG, and DigitalSpy have given it great scores and write about what the game really is about - IGN wrote a really bad review mostly based on the reviewers Kinect control experience when it clearly sounds like he doesnt have the device set up properly!
Other sites are talking about what they had hoped in comparison to what they had received, and the sites giving it good reviews are talking about what they are playing. A fun kinect game with a lengthy campaign that has added bonus minigames on the disc.
It is really a game aimed for the kids, but because it's using an adult franchise - and the dancing vids didn't really do it justice, some people are picking it to bits and giving people what the majority or people are wanting to read.
Anyone with Kinect and this game will enjoy it so much, those without Kinect will just bash it and trash it in comments as another good excuse for not owning kinect
