OXM: Kinect Star Wars Review

This is exactly as much fun as it looks in the adverts. You get the feeling there's a germ of an idea for a great Kinect Arcade game here, but in its current format, it's as shallow as it is entertaining. There's not much to pull you back into the game, unless you've got a child-like love of repetition. Which, let's face it, a lot of children do have.

Ouch. Even OXM? I guess we gotta wait for...huh, what's the next "core" game that is supposed to make Kinect worth it? Steel Battallion? At least that game supposedly is a Kinect/controller hybrid.

less dancing and more action. Better yet, I wish sega would release their SW arcade game they made a few years back. That one is fun to play when it comes to light saber duels.

dedicatedtogamers4425d ago

The one with the joysticks and where you flew the X-Wing? Heck yeah! That game was sick!

waltyftm4425d ago

That game was amazing, still waiting for the Dreamcast port :(

Kinect will never be able to deliver on that core experience l

maybe if they didn't cut costs on the hardware and there wasn't ridiculous input lag...just maybe

but even then, Kinect is still the biggest joke this generation. The only thing Kinect proves is that people will buy anything if enough money is thrown at advertising.

I agree 100 percent lol!!! Kinect is useless, and this is the reason why I am going to get PS4 first. Microsoft is still gonna put too much focus on Kinect for their Next Xbox. Move and the Wii controller is much better than this crap. At least these controllers can play FPS shooters and etc, not just on rail shooters!!!! Don't be surprise with 360 this years E3, cause its nothing but Kinect and Xbox Live games with the only thing great is Halo 4. big whoop!!!! As for PS3/PS vita expect many exclusives to be announced!!!

Flailing your arms around, pretending your hand is a gun, pretending you're holding an invisible steering wheel...will never be cool.

Kinect will never be able to deliver /FIFY

One of the worst things to happen to Star Wars was it being exclusive to Kinect when PS Move could have been a better version because of "buttons" per Kevin with better tracking. And the controller looking like a light saber hilt. Or, had an actual light saber game similar to the dojo in Vader Immortal.

But the miming lies on the Microsoft E3 stage was icing on the cake of this garage. Wasn't even live gameplay. Just bad acting. Nothing ground breaking about this travesty.

Star Wars is Best Suited for AA Gaming, Not AAA

WTMG's Leo Faria: "This piece wasn’t meant to say that Star Wars‘ gaming future is ruined forever, nor that there isn’t a chance for a good AAA Star Wars game to come out in the near future. I need to reiterate that, yes, I’m looking forward to Jedi Fallen Order. Then again, as a massive Star Wars fan, like most of you I miss the days when we would get loads of titles a year, each one focused on one specific feature of the franchise. I’d rather have a slew of smaller Star Wars games being released every year, some good and some not as good, than one big generic title being released every two years. These are always at the risk of being criticized due to typical AAA practices like expensive season passes, cut content, or microtransactions. Had Disney allowed for anyone, especially mid-range developers and publishers, to bring their creative and risk-free ideas to life, I’m sure fans would have rejoiced. And Disney’s pockets would most certainly fill up faster than nowadays."

The Wiseau Awards - Kinect Star Wars (Xbox 360)

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Kinect Star Wars gave me the opportunity to witness Darth Vader and the Emperor dancing to Deadmau5's "Ghosts n' Stuff" like a couple of teenage ravers on ecstasy. That's the best thing I never thought I'd ever see in my life."
