Want to make clear better than most reviews here believe!

Having stayed had two predecessors on the 360, I was also very pleased to this part on my new xbox one. But when I here on Amazon already have read several reviews, I was very anxious to see whether the latest implementation of Kinect Sports should cut so badly with me.

To say it straight away now, my fears have come true but that is not only the players here on Amazon, but also many professional game tester easy approaches to the this great game with a false idea. However, I have the game now also bought shortly before New Year's Eve 2014 and it speaks for reviews to the start of the title, that Kinect Sports Rivals was not yet mature, and now a lot of mistakes could be eliminated by updates. Unfortunately, I can because of my timing judge badly.

The individual modes even custom I actually write anything here, because you already find everything in other reviews on how the game is built on and what to expect. Also, the facial recognition software that tries to create an individual hero who sees me relatively similar, a nice gimmick, but has to do with the game fun for me rather less. I am talking mainly to the individual sports. It seems to me mainly depend on whether I have a good feel for whether I the game so decisively influencing playing by my own movements that I did not feel cheated by the software on the screen.

My impression, however, and with this expectation, I approached also the game that in most such thing has such crept a habituation effect that comes when you know the previous track very well and controlling a very well familiar fact or simply has false expectations when one is used to the Wii MotionPlus.

Because with the new Kinect 2 it has now become difficult for example bowling to cut the ball, which in my opinion but simply because of the fact that the movements have become more realistic. This fact that the body Kinect now much better recognized and even registered single limb, I need as a player a lot more effort to execute the proper movement. In direct comparison with the version of Wii bowling I have so but also a much more authentic gameplay that challenges me a lot more to put myself in the movements of the real sport. It is here, for example, not possible the Wii MotionPlus simply popper with the wrist and so to throw a strike after another. This is not only great, but the game fun at all!

Now, however, the attentive reader may ask, what then this strange game of football is? From Realism can be here for me absolutely no question. One would instead should put more sophistication in the other game, which for example. Also contributes to the deduction of a star in the overall assessment.

In addition, of course, the Wake Racing, or climbing has not much to do with the real sports, but Kinect recorded my movements here smoothly and both of which make a lot of fun, what I had not at all expected. (An interesting side effect while climbing is the way that I have the impression that sport is doing my lumbar region with herniated discs really good).

For shooting ultimately but I wanted to say, before I come to a small Conclusions and you share my hope leave that I am ambivalent towards the shooting. On the one hand, it is made clear very simple and demands of me as a player not much, except for the right time to point to the correct location of the TV with the forefinger. Later in the story and in other modes of this claim, however, thereby fulfill harder because the goals of complex distributed and the game thus actually expected of me reaction skill, what I actually sometimes find quite nice for in between, but now also not particularly great attraction exerted on me. At times the NES Zapper this gameplay was certainly abendfüllend.

Today, however, I think for the most part only exciting to see how exactly Kinect is yet capable of my movements in physical space to follow so that it is possible to transfer this motion precisely on the screen in virtual space. It is precisely this convergence of physical and virtual space, it is, what is the fascination Kinect for me and it as a real person allows to be part of a game which takes place on the screen in front of me me. And I do not need anything more to use as my body and to move accordingly.
But here is also in my opinion the problem which have the bulk of the players in the generation of today with of such games. Also, I prefer in most games even mouse and keyboard, or controller. Imagine times Fifa 15 purely with Kinect before. Fifa's example. Become so complex, because Kinect is more even yogurt in the showcase ^^

Yet Kinect has and here explicitly Kinect Sports Rivals so made an enormous leap that it is a real pleasure to get involved in the title and Kinect 2 to leave the settling time required for the brain of human beings, to save the new movements so that then something may develop such complexity. That's ultimately at all so what is relearned and you start with rudimentary skills such as the tapping of the ball before you is a la Messi let the opponents stand with mouth open behind him someday so far ....

Therefore my respect to Rare! Guys and gals you render great job and you can feel that what develops. I prefer the one star therefore only from, because not everything is perfect and it must also not be in my opinion. Room for improvement should already be there and it is realistic that hopefully forever. Only one request: Stay tuned! Not only the proverbial, but also to your implementation what you call in this title football.

For all those for whom my review also has some fancy Kinect Sports Rivals now made, you bought the game, give yourself time and shows that you understand what is developing here technologically. Because the technological development of the hardware and software will not stop the coming years. On the contrary, it makes use of technology generations tremendous progress and if you did not want your children to you depend decisively, then do not give anything from the same as manure and the like. Everything new is usually complex and require new training. Surely this familiarization is succeeded but just in this Kinect game, you will see that the developers may not have everything, but a lot more right than most suspect leave here.

So stay athletic and have fun with Kinect Sports Rivals :-)
