It takes some time to get used to sharing the camera with two people, especially when youвЂ™re nearly kicking each other in the swimsuit area during a heated soccer match, but once you become accustomed to the hardwareвЂ™s scope and reach, youвЂ™ll have a better, bruise-free time. Speaking of whuppinвЂ™ your friendsвЂ™ hides, Kinect Sports offers crazy amounts of competitive and co-op variations from team-based party play and turn rotations to straight PvP and co-op-versus-AI - it generally delivers more fun when playing with friends. ItвЂ™s super intuitive, refreshingly uncomplicated, yet damn addictive, especially when playing a live opponent locally or online. While table tennis is an easy-to-learn-hard-to-master affair, soccerвЂ™s all about jumping in and yelling вЂњgoooaaal!вЂњ Rather than going the complicated route, the worldвЂ™s favorite sport keeps it simple and fun: highlighted track paths take the confusion out of kicking and passing - something volleyball would have benefited from - and blocking is handled by simply touching hand, head, or foot to the goal-charging ball. However, more often than not we missed shots or wondered what the hell was going on even when we did nail a game-winning spike. Connecting with the ball when you mean it feels damn good and hints at the promise of body-controlled v-ball. It has potential with proper controls, but as is itвЂ™s too difficult to tell if the action prompts - which tell you when to hit the ball - are signaling you or your AI partner. Unresponsive inputs and confusing prompts also make the volleyball more frustrating than fun. Hurdles, which mixes the run-and-jump routine, offers some moderate entertainment. Discus and javelin challenges, which have you mimicking the expected gestures are as boring as they sound, and the sprinting and long-jumping should have been left in the locker room. Unless youвЂ™re a hyperactive toddler on a Red Bull bender, this isnвЂ™t much fun. The worst is Track and Field like the real-life sport it requires lots of running and jumping, but because youвЂ™re playing in your living room, these activities must be performed in-place. Like NintendoвЂ™s and SonyвЂ™s similar efforts, Kinect Sports has its share of must-plays and avoid-at-all-costs activities. The enthusiastically colorful presentation offers cool touches, like being able to lead fans in the wave with a swipe of your hand, and lame inclusions, such as fans wearing those big foam fingers everywhere, including bowling alleys. Featuring a very Wii-like presentation, all sports are surrounded by happy-fun-time arenas and avatars.
