Microsoft Kinect Reviews

This sensor is required for certain xbox 360 games and improves others like Forza 4 that work with it for things like Auto Vista mode. The sensor can be used in pretty much any room of the house but does need a little space to play. The sensor is sometimes glitchy and inaccurate, often pausing the game despite me being ...  Read the complete review

I recently purchased my Kinect, and I have been having fun with it ever since. While playing with it by yourself is fun, it makes it much better when you play co-op games with friends or family. I feel kind of strage standing in my living room by myself jumping all around, but with other people, it seems to be ok. The kinect ...  Read the complete review

I got my Kinect sensor at the same time as my Xbox 360 as I had tried out a friend's and was completely taken with the idea. I still use my Kinect regularly months later so it was a good decision and I've got my money's worth! The kinect is a sensor separate to the console itself that you place in front of the TV and is ...  Read the complete review

The Kinect was a pretty revolutionary piece of equipment when it was first launched and I was beside myself with excitement to try it out when it was first released. However after two weeks or so the novelty completely wore off. One issue is the amount of space you need to play a game properly and I got a bit sick of moving the furniture ...  Read the complete review

When Kinect was first rumoured (known at that time as Project Natal) I was so excited about the prospect and thought it sounded extremely promising. I waited, for what seemed like years, for the product to finally come to fruition and when Kinect finally launched I grabbed one, along with the bundled Kinect Adventures game. ...  Read the complete review

I loved the idea of a sensor for playing video games. So when the Wii came out I went straight out to buy it and at the time I did think it was great, I could control my character with a remote, rather than pressing buttons and wheels. When the Xbox brought out Kinect I thought it would be similar to the Wii, jumpy, not very ...  Read the complete review

In the console wars, Xbox 360 has been the one to go for for years now. The PS3 doesn't have the developer support a console needs, and the online experience is not regulated enough, not to mention the excessive 'patching'. The Wii was never much of a competetor in my mind, but it always had that one thing going for it - the movement. ...  Read the complete review

The Kinect picks up your moves very well and you don't even need a controller as your body is THE controller! This gives you much more freedom and allows you to fully enjoy the games without having to worry about hitting people with your remote! It also allows you to move your arms more, giving you a sense of freedom. It's much much ...  Read the complete review

Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 We bought our Xbox 360 and the kinect sensor as a bundle package about 6 months ago and I really like the sensor as it makes the games even more interactive and in my opinion it makes the Nintendo Wii look a bit outdated. The kinect sensor can be bought as part of a bundle package or separately ...  Read the complete review

I must say this first people, before buying a kinect make sure you get the right version for yourself. If you have a old xbox 360 (i.e the one without the internal wireless card and has smooth curves rather than the smaller more angular slim version) make sure you buy the version that comes with a power supply unit (PSU), as ...  Read the complete review

I purchased a Xbox Kinect a few month ago as I'd played one instore and was impressed with the graphics and accuracy of the motion sensors. I purchased it with kinect sports and I was very impressed with the accuracy of the motion capture and the games that were available to play and when I've had friends round they have loved ...  Read the complete review

The Microsoft Kinect is absolutely fantastic! It far outdoes its rival, they playstation move, in every way. The idea that you are the controller is not an exaggeration. You move your arms, then your avatar moves their arms. You move your legs or your head, your avatar moves their head or legs. And in a recent interview I read, ...  Read the complete review

Having been impressed with the Nintendo Wii but disappointed with the lack of HD graphics I was waiting for one of the other big guns in the market to come up with a true challenger to take on the Wii directly. Thankfully the Kinect has come along and blown the Wii clean out of the water. So why all the hype? Pros: The ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I wasn't too bothered about the Kinect add-on for XBOX 360. I still had unhappy, unfulfilled memories of Sony's EyeToy and a Nintendo Wii sitting under my Telly that has proved pretty much to be nothing more than an expensive dust-trap! My wife bought the Wii with all the usual good intentions of using Wii Fit (the single most popular ...  Read the complete review

We went out an bought this on the day it was released full of anticipation. The Kinect Adventures which comes with it is a good starter to get you introduced to the way this works. The sensor picks up a number of parts of your body and moves the character on the screen accordingly. I also like the idea of auto face ...  Read the complete review

My boyfriend persuaded me to buy one of these a few months ago, and i'm glad he did! They are so much fun! I have the Wii and this is one step up from that as you are the controller, you use you hands to guide the cursor. we paid £249 from Pc world for an xbox+kinect and it came with Kinect adventures game. Its a good little ...  Read the complete review

When the Kinect came out it was an exciting moment, it's a controller that makes it possible to play a game using yourself to control the players on the game, so we brought one and then the problems started. We did not think to check whether you needed to be a certain distance from the kinect in order for it to work but it turns out you ...  Read the complete review

I was really looking forward to Kinect and all that the product was said to offer. So how does it live up to my expectations. Over all I would say Microsoft have created a great product it looks sleek it has been manufactured to a high standard and it's not over priced. It is very responsive intuitive and over all a great gaming medium, ...  Read the complete review
