CVG: For your own curiosity and the occasional giggle that Rise of Nightmares provides, horror fans could consider this a worthwhile rental. But for those waiting for Kinect's truly killer R-rated app, the wait goes on.

Among the range of games available for the peripheral, it is the least likely title ever made for the Kinect - there’s no dancing, no pets, no sports. (Though by its end, hacking through hordes of re-animated corpses here starts to feel like a sport.)"
rise of nightmares would make a good VR game. Surprised Sega didnt try and remaster it for PSVR. Or... maybe they are working on doing that for PSVR2????
considering SEGA hasn't made a single title yet for PSVR, I can't imagine why they would pick this one to start TBH.
Not saying I wouldn't love it as I'm a huge horror fan.

I have, I’ve been burned numerous times, and it never gets any easier. This problem isn’t limited to our favorite TV shows, video games can cause that same abrupt stop, and it often hurts just as much.
As much as I’d like to see another entry in the Condemned, Dino Crisis, or The Suffering series, at the very least, those games got one or more sequels. I’ve decided to eschew horror games that have already seen a follow-up in favor for those that haven’t — the one-offs that deserve to be more than that.
I don't think Alan Wake needs a sequel it would probably just kill it. Alan Wake was good because of its originality, American Nightmare wasn't nearly as good.

5.6 out of 100 is pretty low, no?
Why is it so hard to fathom that the game is just not any good? Think about it like this. If it was a non Kinect game and it was like this would you buy it? If it was getting 3s and 4s like this would you have still brought it? The point is you don't excuse the things this game does wrong because its Kinect. Many games get brutally reviewed and this game is no different from them.
