Adrenalin Misfits
© 2010 Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
This snowboarding simulation for 1 or 2 players contains a good tutorial and up to seven themed courses. As you move down the hill, you can do tricks, leaning left or right to steer. Weaknesses: There are lots of "canned" skater dialog/culture that some kids might like, but others might not. Strengths: surprisingly good feelings of control. In general, this is a fun snowboarding simulation. Interesting courses include a stormy desert, glacier, volcanos and so on. The Kinect features are interesting. For example, the louder you cheer, the faster your racer goes. If you don't mind the pre-stylized themes, this is a good game to borrow. For details, see www.konami.com/adrenalinmisfits
