XBOX 360 KINECT REVIEWS
TBONE'S TAKEAWAYS
- Reviews seem generally mixed.
- You will need a lot of space to use Kinect. Most sites noted you need at least 6 ft for single player games, and 9 ft for multiplayer local games.
- Gotta move those coffee tables so they are not in front of the TV, otherwise Kinect won't be able to see your feet
- Most sites said the voice commands seemed to work really well, but current implementation is limited
- Navigating the XBOX Dashboard with Kinect (read: using hand motions) is limited and needs work
- Almost everyone was pretty excited about the future potential of the product. Microsoft just needs to work out some bugs and expand functionality.
- Launch lineup of Kinect games is pretty weak with the pack-in Kinect Adventures and the sold separately Dance Central being the stand outs.
