IGN - Kinect Rush: More Than Child's Play?

IGN - Asobo Studios is densely populated with masochists. It's the only explanation as to why it keeps setting itself the unenviable task of adapting the universally-adored and critically-celebrated films of Pixar into video games. Already it has brought the likes of Toy Story, Wall-E and Up to a variety of consoles but its latest game, Kinect Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure, is a different proposition. It doesn't stand in the shadow of a single Pixar movie. Instead, it attempts to recreate the magic of five films – Toy Story, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Cars and Up. Yet despite this pressure, there's strangely a greater sense of freedom about Kinect Rush.

I can't wait to play through Hitman! I played the free Xbox trial they had last year and I really enjoyed it.

conanlifts2096d ago

It was much better than I expected and left me wanting a sequel.

gamer78042096d ago

its really a great game, despite being a launch title.

Switch4One2097d ago

Wow. Honestly Game Pass is unrivaled as a pro consumer service on console. I almost bought all the Hitman episodes and now I don't have to.

lxeasy2096d ago

Yeah I've been tempted to get it a couple times. Glad Hitman is on Game Pass now. Xbox seriously got a home run got a home run with game pass!

GamesMaster19822097d ago

Microsoft need to add more game pass games to the PC side of gamespass.

DaDrunkenJester2097d ago

You guys already don't have to pay for XBL! Let console owners have at least a little perk! haha

Profchaos2097d ago

I have game pass and play both console and pc it's a good thing to have choice it's really good to pick up and play gears 4 on any system for example

Profchaos2097d ago

Ohh I've always wanted to play ryse

SLiSH832096d ago

But cross play is bad #4thegamers according to Sony

gangsta_red2096d ago (Edited 2096d ago )

Wow!!! I came this close to purchasing Ruiner!

Will definitely try Hitman.

coolbeans2096d ago

WorthPlaying - Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure Review

Brian Dumlao: "When people look at the Disney name, they expect something that provides wholesome, fun experiences for the entire family. By extension, the same can be said for the Pixar name. Microsoft's Kinect for the Xbox 360 is seen as a family-friendly way for kids and parents to enjoy games that require more motion. Common sense would dictate that having them all together on a Kinect game would generate an exciting family-friendly game. Now that we have Kinect Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure, we see that the game is a solid endeavor that's too short."

Impulse Gamer: Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure Review

Impulse Gamer: The latest Kinect game to land on the XBox 360 is Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure which stars some of the most memorable Pixar characters from Toy Story, Cars, The Incredibles, UP! and Ratatouille in this interactive game made for kids.

Best of all, with the Kinect technology, players can "scan" themselves into the game as they become one of the characters from these movies such as Buzz Lightyear, Mr. Incredible or that chubby kid from the film UP! as they engage in a variety of fun mini-games.
