Kinect Adventures! (Kinect)

This is the game that comes with the Kinect.     It's a collection of activities, like the sports-medley games from Wii or PS3 Move.

We played the 5 basic activities for now:

- Rally Ball: the goal is to hit the ball to break blocks at the end of a tunnel. Very funny to watch! It's also a good coordination exercise.

- River Rush: ride a raft and move it around to pack in points on your way to the finish line. Even more exercise than the first.

- Reflex Ridge: this is the one from the picture. The idea is to avoid the obstacles. Very funny to watch and play. Makes great pictures.

- Space Pop: the silliest of the 4 games... More counter-intuitive than challenging and not as much fun to watch.

- 20,000 Leaks: pretty slow too, but very funny to see what people would do to plug the leaks.

Playing alone is fun and easy. Playing in two is even more fun, but you might want to make sure you're tuned with your partner to avoid hitting heads...

This is the promotional trailer for both the game and the Kinect:

Pros: lots of calories burnt between playing and laughing; very intuitive, for the most part.

Cons: you might be sore the next day from the exercise... But that's a good thing, right?!

Wife score: 9/10
