Review: Kinect Sports Rivals (Console Monster)

Console Monster writes: "Since it launched in 2010, Kinect has played host to a wide range of fitness and sports titles to keep gamers active, while also enhancing the gaming experience (if flapping your arms around is your definition of fun).

Rare, the development team behind the likes of Banjo-Kazooie and Viva Piñata, were one of the first developers to embrace the motion sensor technology with the release of Kinect Sports and Kinect Sports: Season Two - the Xbox 360 equivalent of Nintendo’s highly-successful Wii Sports series.

Following on from Kinect Sports’ success on the Xbox 360, it came as no surprise when Rare announced a third game would be released on the Xbox One. Originally intended as a launch title, Kinect Sports Rivals is the first Xbox One title to fully utilise the Kinect sensor; but does it hit the target or has Rare scored an own goal?"

Would you say absolutely horrible hyperbole? :D

4Sh0w2533d ago (Edited 2533d ago )

Halo 5?....pffft to each his own but Halo 5 is a great game, every Xbox owner I know enjoyed it, the campaign was nice I like the teamwork concept and the multiplayer keeps 'em coming back with great gameplay & modes so much content, 343 did a helluva job.

@4Show: Uh... going to assume that's a comment intended for someone else.

spicelicka2533d ago

Not Halo 5. It had a bad story COMPARED to past games but it didn't have a bad story overall. The gameplay was top notch, and multiplayer is still one of the best on the market right now. Custom games browser is the single greatest thing 343 did which I'm grateful for.

ninsigma2533d ago

Nah it really was a bad campaign. MP was great but seriously, that was a hugely terrible story mode.

spicelicka2532d ago

The story maybe, but some of the missions were extremely fun. The Sangehlios ones are right up there with the best missions in the franchise.

Kingthrash3602533d ago

Halos mp was great but became boring quicker than most.
The story. Naw that was bad and it's marketing was a lie. Made it seem like old master chief was gunna fight that new fake master chief but the conflict ended up being a one punch cgi sequence.
Not to mention fighting the same boss over and over and over....plus add the no split screen mp and whala! You got the worst canon halo ever made

brich2332533d ago

Compared to Halo 4, Halo 5's story was trash and not memorable at all.

ninsigma2532d ago

That's not really saying much though cuz that was pretty bad as well.

ninsigma2532d ago

Agreed on sanghelios. That was one of the very few times it actually felt like halo.

Halo 5, FarCry 2, Dragon Age 2, Nuts and Bolts, and Gears of War: Judgement were all far from bad games. Hell, even Crackdown 2 was pretty fun.

There's a difference between a lesser sequel, and a bad game.

rlow12532d ago

With a Title that says "horrible sequels", most of these are far from that. Better title should be disappointing sequels. But I'm sure they went with the former to get clicks and bring in the fanboys.
