MotionSports: Play for Real
© 2010 UbiSoft, Inc.
Five sports -- for 1 to 4 players -- are designed specifically for Microsoft's Kinect controller. While each sport varies in quality, the overall experience succeeds in presenting something for everyone, getting every member of the family up and moving. Unlike other Kinect titles, the startup menus are easy to figure out and use. After you sign in, you can choose from skiing, horseback riding, hang gliding, football, soccer and boxing. Our testers liked skiing, hang gliding and football the best. Horseback riding and boxing were "so-so." In each sport, the better you do, the more challenges you unlock. As you play, commentators evaluate your progress, and your photo is taken, displayed on billboards after each challenge. There is no worrisome content -- the T rating was obviously generated from the boxing. All in all, this is an excellent addition to your library, providing you have the Kinect hardware.
