Support NeoGAF

[Ouroboros]

So I just got a Kinect with my replacement 360 for when my OG passes away. Can KinectGAF recommend me the must play games for the Kinect? I didn't pay any attention to motion controls last generation, so I'm coming in with 0 knowledge on the subject.

Thanks!

what have you done you fool

 

[thekonamicode]

Instead of playing Kinect myself, I enjoyed watching Giant Bomb playing the best it has to offer!

 

[Blablurn]

Buy this Star Wars dancing game

 

[ozfunghi]

Use it as a 3D scanner

 

[Tazmin]

Sell it

 

[Charcoal]

But why?

 

[robotrock]

Child of Eden is so good. I hear it might be better with a controller but I needed to justify my Kinect purchase so I just played it with that exclusively. Great game.

 

[NuttSack]

Dance Central and Just Dance were fun with Kinect.

 

[EmiPrime]

I couldn't get any of the Kinect games to work satisfactorily enough to save it from being banished back to its box but if you only try one game make it Child of Eden.

 

[Ouroboros]

But why?

It came with the replacement Xbox I got.

 

[Previous]

Party like its 2010.

 

[marrec]

Dance Central and Just Dance were fun with Kinect.

Dance Central is legit.

 

[K.E. Keith]

It came with the replacement Xbox I got.

Time for a refund.

 

[dlauv]

Get some doofy shit like I did:

Free Riders, Rise of Nightmares, Steel Battalion.

And a good game like I did:

Child of Eden.

These games are so cheap now.

 

[Xbudz]

Child of Eden.

Happy Action Theater.

Fruit Ninja.

Dance Central.

 

[Twilight Princess]

Check out the bottom of your avatars shoe

 

[sixteen-bit]

Did that Milo game ever come out?

 

[Pif]

Kinect Sports Table Tennis is actually cool and more responsive than Wii Sports 1, that came out without the wiimotion plus.

 

[Markew001]

Child of Eden, Gunstringer, and Dance Central were all pretty solid.

 

[Zeneric]

a: "Hey guys, I just bought Virtual Boy. What games should I get?"

b: "What have you done you fool."

 

[Jencks]

Throw it out of the nearest window

 

[spazchicken]

Don't listen to these...people.

Kinect was cool. Get Kinect Sports series 1 and 2.

Child of Eden is fantastic.

I really enjoyed Leedmees It's like Lemmings (simple AI which needs to get to the exit door), but your body is part of the stage that they can walk on, or smoosh them if you accidentally step on them or move too fast.

 

[TheYanger]

the dance central games and child of eden are all I'd heartily recommend, I'm sure there's other stuff worht experimenting with.

[dreamer3kx]

Try to play this.

Thanks for the replies so far. I understand the poking fun, but when you get a chance to buy a sealed Xbox 360 s with a Kinect bundle for $100. You don't pass it up.

 

[kendrid]

For all the hate there were some decent games. Sort of.

Hole in the Wall is actually fun. If you aren't familiar with the gameshow look it up on Youtube.

Wipeout was fun.

Kinect Adventures.

A friend put a hole in my basement ceiling with his head playing volleyball in Kinect Sports. Pro tip: you don't need to jump that high.

 

[SidiKofe]

Use it as a 3D scanner

It's really low quality 3d scanner. Even with professional software like Artec Studio. I really don't know why they soft is compatible with Kinect, because result is only a bit better than free analogs. Actually I used free trial version just to play with.

 

[abracadaver]

I enjoyed Dance Central and Fruit Ninja the most

 

[Wonko_C]

Wipeout was fun.

??? That is a Playstation first party IP.

 

[grumpyGamer]

Throw it out , joking ....but no really hate that thing XD

 

[Shifty]

Commence the buyer's remorse.

??? That is a Playstation first party IP.

It's also the american version of Takeshi's Castle or other such "hundreds of unwitting constestants fail an assault course" shows.

The amount of times I've gotten excited for slick AG racing only to be greeted with goofy slapstick instead. Pah.

 

[Sailent]

You can dance if you want to

 

[floatstarpx]

I worked on this a few years back:


was really good fun to work on, but probably not that amusing for more than a couple of minutes for anyone else

 

[DonJimbo]

U can use it in fifa and madden

 

[Livia]

Sell it.

 

[EBE]

Steel Battalion, Rise of Nightmares, and Fable: The Journey are all worth your time, people.

This much salt is bad for your diet.

OP - buy dancing games. Dance. Enjoy!

 

[Havoc2049]

Try this hidden gem:

So true. Great game and a true hidden gem. So many semi-scary and truly disturbing characters and scenes and the final boss fight is epic.

Its a necrothread, does op even still have it?

 

[Iced Arcade]

Kind off off topic but a friend asked me if Skype still works on the 360. Anyone know?

 

[hiphopcr]

Happy Action Theater by Double Fine (eventually updated and re-branded as Kinect Party) is by far the greatest interactive kids game ever made, and it's not even close.

This game was running 24/7 at my house for years and my wife still gripes about the lack of it on X1 to this day.

It doesn't seem so, I just checked on my console and couldn't find the app on the store.

Kinect Sports (1 and 2), Kinect Party and Kinect Adventures are great. The downloadable Kinect Sports games (Gems?) are cool, too. The games which tried to integrate more sophisticated use of the Kinect I didn’t care for but games that just require basic (aka “easy to track”) movements are good fun.

See, told you it was bad for his health.

[AnimalFather]

[Owari]

Throw it away with your 360.
