Uno was one of the major success stories of the early days of the Xbox Live Arcade service on the Xbox 360. With a combination of good release timing, the right price and a game that people either already knew how to play or could pick up quickly, it wasn't surprising that Uno was the first Xbox Live Arcade game to top a million units. With continued support through card content packs and additional Avatar and Xbox Vision Camera support, Uno continues to be the #1 best-selling game on the service.

RunDLC listed five games that it feels would be more enjoyable with Kinect support. The list includes Lumines Live! and Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2.

When it released, not even Microsoft could predict that thousands of gamers would sit down to play a simple card game accompanied by some soothing music. UNO fans rejoiced in June 2008 when a sequel to the popular title was revealed at the E3 Expo in the form of UNO Rush.
The concept behind UNO was to be the first person to successfully call "UNO" and be the first person to discard of all their cards on the discard pile. Taking it in turns, cards of the same colour or number to the one on the discard pile would be placed on top. Alternatively, players can place an "action" card which changes the colour of the pile. Not being able to play, results in the player obtaining a card from the deck..."
