When Kinect Joy Ride launched with the Kinect, I didn’t bother buying it and just went ahead and downloaded the demo. I thought the game was sort of fun and the Kinect controls weren’t bad, but for the $50 they were charging, the game wasn’t fun or responsive enough to justify the high price tag. Well, Microsoft has decided to bring the series back in this Kinect-less Xbox Live Arcade version and, surprisingly, it is a lot of fun.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
Joy Ride Turbo is a kart racing game from developer Big Park. It was released on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 back in 2012. It is now available on Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One. Let’s try it out!
Neil writes: "There should never be a refusal to acknowledge free stuff, and with the Xbox Games With Gold scheme the free games and experiences have come in multiple forms over the years. But as the Xbox Game Pass slowly tightens its grip on the gaming world, the power and prestige of the Games With Gold scheme has diminished. Surely though with Star Wars and Sherlock Holmes games going free throughout November 2019, the draw and appeal should be huge again?"
wasnt expecting it to actually be good
I thought joy ride was a good game but they should of given you the choice of controller or kinect and let you use kinect sat down. I may have a look at this new version though as it sounds like it could be a fun pickup and play game
