From the Review:
"When I was a kid, my family used to visit my uncle’s place; this was always.a time that I looked forward to because my uncle had a Commodore Amiga, which was miles ahead of our own Commodore 64. I would usually end up playing Defender of the Crown, Mindwalker, Marble Madness, or Lemmings. That final title really fueled the fire of my love for puzzle games; when I heard the “let’s go” of the lead lemming in each level, it was like a switch turned on in my brain.
I first saw Leedmees at a Konami event during FanExpo weekend. My mind drifted back to the times that I would sit in my uncle’s chair, attempting to save every Lemming possible. Does this Xbox Live Kinect game recapture that magical feeling that I had when I was younger? Yes, but not without a few hiccups."
GIZORAMA - On the way to getting my teaching degree, I had to take the General Knowledge Exam. This test was feared by many of my peers, and had a reputation for being difficult. I’ve always been a good test taker, but I couldn’t help but let the stories get to me. The night before the test, I found myself to be quite nervous. However, when I was sitting in the exam center, I found myself relieved because the test was one of the easiest I had ever taken. Honestly, I was a little disappointed. I like a good challenge, even if the stakes are high. And while playing a Kinect game can’t be considered anywhere close to “high-stakes,” I can’t help but feel a similar pang of disappointment with Leedmees.
Hole In The Wall and Leedmees have been reduced to just 400 Microsoft Points (£3.43) each in today's 12 Days of Xbox promotion.
Is Leedmees Lemmings for Kinect?
Here is a snippet:
"In Leedmees the objective is to utilise all of the body parts of the flattened version of yourself to pick up the Leedmees or guide them to collect stars and reach exits safely. Unlike Lemmings these creatures do not have any abilities which need utilising as the game is all about you and how your body movements influence the gameplay which to be honest works rather well and proves to be a fun concept"
