Your Shape and Fitness Review
This game, using the Kinect sensor watches you like a hawk. Which makes it sound like it is going to scream at you for every little mistake, but it is for your own good to improve your workout. Their is no frustration when using the Kinect sensor. The Kinect sensor is accurate about 99% of the time and tracks much better than my experiences with the Wii. (losses 1% because you have to be near the center of the play space before exercises or you’ll end up moving arms and legs out).
It is constantly watching your form during exercises and verbally telling you how to correct your form to get the most out of it. It even tells you what exercises you need to work on to correct your form and what exercises you have the best form in. It tracks calories burned over time and builds workout routines custom to your individual fitness goals
The range of exercises and number of different programs seems to put it will ahead of the Wii games I have played, and I have to admit I was getting VERY bored with the other programs, so also very glad to have something different to use.

Zumba Fitness Review
I absolutely Love This Game. I would like to say that getting familiar with the Kinect first was very helpful. I would suggest everyone doing this before playing. I take Zumba classes regularly and its awesome to be able to do this at home on a rainy day rather than trecking to the gym. This game is great, it’s fun, exciting and gives you the same benefits as the taking the class. Love it!!

Dance Masters Review
Such a nice game! I have been excited for a long time waiting for the kinect. I ordered both dance central and dance master since I like dancing game so much! It turns out that these two games didn’t dispoint me at all.
The dance central is definitly something as a hipop dance style and combing different styles hit songs. The break down system is help us to learn the dance, but I do thing it should slow down a little more since I am a slow learner for dancing steps.
The dance master is actually more close to the way I like to dance back to dance carpet time. I really like the musics in the dance master and the dance steps are actually abit easier than Dance Central. But without breakdown, it requires more practice. But I still like to play the game until I am completely tired. I also like the idea of “gesture”, “ripple” and “parellel world”. Which give you more motive to continue good hits.
Dance Central™, exclusively for “Kinect” for Xbox 360, is the first real dance game experience that is fun, social and for everyone! Brought to you by Harmonix, the developers who created the world-wide blockbuster Rock Band™, Dance Central is the first immersive dance video game that features and tracks full-body dance moves. Completely free from any controller, every routine has authentic choreography for beginners and experts alike to master, alongside a killer soundtrack that spans today’s current pop, hip-hop and R&B artists. Take it step-by-step with Break It Down or jump right in and start performing for your family and friends. Either way, you won’t just learn dance moves, you’ll own the dance floor!

Dance Central Reviews
This game ROCKS! It is one of the funnest games I have ever played. Let me break it down for you.
PROS:
1) Anyone can play. The game teaches you the dance moves. Then it gives you some practice trys. Then you get to “Perform”.
2) The game gives really good feedback. When you miss a move, it shows you which part of your body wasn’t moving right by outlining it in red.
3) The tracks are pretty good. There is a lot of music you would hear at clubs today and some that you haven’t heard for a while.
4) The sound and visuals are pretty cool. I thought I would get bored listening to track during practice, but you really don’t because you are concentrating on what is happening on screen.
5) Watching your friends play this is AWESOME. If they are good dancers (particularly hip-hop) it is a great way for them to perform. If they are not good dancers… well it is fun to watch them pretend.
CONS:
1) You are going to need a lot of space. That should go without saying (this is a dance game).
2) Don’t let your friends record you playing this game and then post it on youtube.

EA Sports Review
Overall, EA Sports Active 2 does give you a solid, heart-pounding workout at home. But it feels as though EA made a last minute port instead of tailoring their SA franchise for the Kinect. Controls are finicky, graphics are a bit lacking, and sometimes you’ll scream at your console for once again “showing you how” to do something you already know how to do.
Verdict: If you already have one of the previous Sports Actives for the Wii, skip this one. For 100 dollars, it’s not worth upgrading. But if you are new to workout games, have an XBOX, a Kinect and an endless supply of patience, I’d say go for it. You will get a good balance of cardio and muscle sculpting workouts, and achievements will have you chasing new goals constantly.

The Biggest Loser Review
I just bought it, ran through a workout and it was more personalized then I expected. Instead of just running through the routine, it waited until you got the form right then it balanced the workout on the other side. I was asked how I was doing durring the workout and was able to respond with my voice if I needed a water break or to turn up the heat. The water breaks were short if you didn’t need them. It counted your calories and let you know how you did after. This is a much better product then I was expecting. It truly felt like I almost had my own personal trainer.

Kinectimals
A wide-eyed Bengal tiger cub cocks its head to the side and playfully peers at you. Memories of your first trip to the zoo come rushing back. Through the magic of Kinect that furry tiger cub is in your living room and about to become your best friend.
“Kinectimals” invites children, their parents and animal lovers of all ages to build lasting friendships with some of the world’s most exotic creatures. Just like real pets, your “Kinectimals” will come running when they hear your voice, respond to commands such as “jump,” “roll over” and “play dead,” and purr with joy when you scratch them behind their ears.
There maybe one problem, your kids may get addicted to this game.
Kinectimals Review - 9 star rating
The visuals are breath-taking; I didn’t expect the game to look this polished as a launch title. The gameplay is fun; you go around learning and teaching your pet new tricks while playing mini-games and unlocking new sections of your island. It has some mystery involved, but nothing too advanced that my son can’t handle..
I highly recommend this game to ANYONE with children, it’s a must have
Joy Ride – 8.2 star rating
“Kinect Joy Ride,” the first controller-free racing game, will take you and your friends on the ride of your lives — no driver’s license required. “Kinect Joy Ride” combines wild kart racing excitement with the effortless fun of full-body gaming possible only with Kinect for Xbox 360.
“Kinect Joy Ride” reinvents driving and kart racing by adding massive jumps and full-body stunts to the classic kart racing action. With a host of cool features and game modes you can find your inner Andretti by going solo, pick up a co-pilot, or team up with your friends and family to take on the world.
“Kinect Joy Ride” takes the thrilling driving experience off the track and into your living room as you bend, twist and move your body to hug the curves, jump through obstacles and show off your acrobatic skills — when you get your whole body into it, you are the car!
Joy Ride Reviews
Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone who bought a Kinect. It is fun, but whether it is worthy of the price remains to be seen. Ultimately I figure I will have enough enjoyment out of it to justify buying it and I think a lot of people are going to like this game.
Sonic Free Riders
Kinect’s unique motion sensor means Sonic Free Riders will see family and friends controlling their fully customizable hover board or bike by twisting, turning and jumping in an exhilarating race to be the first to cross the finish line! Choosing from one of your favorite Sonic characters, or your own Avatar, you can reach out and grab a variety of pickups along the course. By throwing, shaking, or swinging your arms to launch your items, you can gain the competitive edge over your rivals in high octane single or multiplayer races.
Sonic Free Riders Review-6.4 star rating
It has a long tutorial to start. although in my opinion its necessary to learn a good amount before you get started with the game, but not mandatory. I enjoyed the graphics and the style in which the races are similiar to the dreamcast without the usless free roam objectives. it has a nice variety of characters, abilities, boards, scooters, weapons.
Adrenalin Misfits -8.8 star rating
Adrenalin Misfits thrusts gamers into 7 unbelievable fantasy worlds with exciting boarding battles in amazing environments. Compete in cross boarding action through freestyle, time and collection challenges against boss characters each with unique abilities.

Natal controls mean anyone can play because your body is the controller. The Natal camera reads your body’s natural motions converting them into character actions on screen. It’s not just a race, it’s a battle!
The time for learning is over. The time to meet your destiny has arrived. The Harry Potter saga builds to its thrilling conclusion in this game based on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I. The stakes have never been higher for Harry, and Deathly Hallows takes the franchise in a new direction centered on furious wand-based combat. You’re on the run right from the start in a desperate quest to destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Battle Dementors, Death Eaters, and other powerful enemies with only your wand to help you.

Brunswick Pro Bowling -4.0 star rating
Brunswick Pro Bowling is a bowling simulation game for Xbox 360 that utilizes the motion capture and control capabilities of the Xbox 360 Kinect motion control system.

Additional features include: detailed environments filled with interesting characters, multiple mode settings, character customization and even bumpers for kids, or others needing help staying out of the gutter.

Wipeout in the Zone mimics the absurd obstacle courses of its TV inspiration, and players will be challenged with working their way through the show’s challenges by running, ducking, and dodging. Failure is an inevitable and frequent outcome, and players will be treated to visuals of their inglorious digital destruction.
Three kids were playing this game – ages 11, 13, and 15 – and they all gave it five stars. I was on the treadmill and laughed so hard just watching them play. There was plenty of laughing by everyone involved.
The game is modeled right after the TV show and the obstacle courses really test your coordination. The controls can be tricky to master, but once you do, it makes for a world of fun
