Is the Force really as strong with this new Kinect title as Microsoft would have you think? Get the final verdict on one of the year's most anticipated family games right here!
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."

The force is weak on this one..
Epic fail you must.XD
I believe the score. People were really struggling to play this game at last years E3.
I have it and while it isn't perfect, it still is fun to play. The key to it is staying in one place and following the onscreen prompts exactly. Sure, it isn't one to one and it makes your arms tired as all hell, the game really isn't that bad. My younger kids are 7 & 9 and I play it with them and we really enjoy it. I wouldn't give it a 10 or a 4 for that matter. I feel this game belongs in the 7 to 8 range. You will have major issues if you move all around and don't remain in one spot and flail about and not follow the onscreen prompts. Again ...not perfect, but a great Star Wars experience and a lot of fun if you are a fan and have kids that are fans as well.
