Advantages: Recognises individuals

Disadvantages: You need room

This piece of kit was bought on a whim having no real need for this in the home.
I have had this 5 months now and cannot believe how good it is.

Set up was easy, just follow the on screen instructions - you cannot got wrong.

One great feature is that you can train the camera to recognise you, so when you turn the xbox on it will sign in to your profile. One drawback of this is every person that ever comes round your house to play on it will end up wanting their own profile.... this gets a little repetitive after a while.
Another great feature is the voice recognition, this means that you can train it to recognise your voice to get it to do certain controls.

There is one drawback to this but I have only had one game that has had the issue, im sure people can guess what it is before I have wrote it - space to play! As I say, there has only been one game that has given me issues but make sure you actually have a decent amount of space in your lounge before you buy this or you will think its a load of junk.

If you buy this with early games it doesn't show its full potential, more recent games are really starting to show how good this product is, so I cant wait for games yet to come.

The whole family play on this most nights having a great giggle whilst keeping reasonable fit.

Summary: Brilliant
