Great for one or two players (young, old or both), this Pixar-themed collection of movement games contains five multi-level games; each game is based on a different set of movie characters. The graphics, sounds and narration are easily on par with the movie, making this a fun active extension of the movie experience. You start by entering a Pixar theme park, to move, you pump your arms (as if running). You'll soon discover different gates for the Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up, Cars 2 and Toy Story 3. Each story contains an obstacle course where you must jump, climb and run your way to the end. Even younger testers were able to experience success with this game, although there were a few times where they needed help (e.g., when picking up and throwing batteries in the Toy Story level). A co-op mode lets a second player jump in or out of an activity at any point. The bottom line? If you have a Kinect system, get this game. Developed by Asobo Studio.
