Small details make the difference

Part 1 I was really terrific months ago almost exactly 12 for the Kinect launch, because it is really what was new. Of course, it was also due to the then delivered sports that everyone really enjoys playing.

With Kinect Sports 2 one now dares this year to connect with 6 new disciplines of the sports world.

In all sports is that the recognition and large, worked well. Since you but very active goes to work at half the games, it happens that the sensor radius like leaving times. Amazingly, the recognition of one's own Sillouhette but really settled again quickly from the sensor. In the previous game that lasted much longer.

Now a few words about the sports

Golf
====
Golf is one of my favorites. It is believed not how to differentiate here the ball is hit over the green. Smallest rotation, impact strength, angle, etc. affect the ball flight. I did not believe in fact you get a feel for the control of the ball there. The gestures for viewing the greens, the analysis of the golf hole, etc. are nice gimmicks, just like the voice control for the racket change.
Whether the bat but really has an impact on the game or ball-tee feeling, I do not think so.

Baseball
Power occasionally sometimes fun, although here the impact detection does not really work well. Even if I position myself as in the tutorial videos and right time to hit the ball, my movement is often not recognized as a flapping motion. Otherwise really good reaction at the one between hitting and base running to the next can really work up a sweat.

Tennis
Also very funny to hit the felt balls around the ears. In this case, one has the possibility to affect the angle and speed of the ball. So exciting rallies are possible, which can be physically very tiring but.

Darts
The stress-free world game in this compilation.
Here Kinect shows its strengths exactly how it will implement exactly when trying to target the wobbly over time gesture to a given area.
Too bad but I find that I am forced to play down 501 and I can not play 901. the subsequently filed as a free download mini-games which require to pace call, really.

To Ski
Here I would have liked a little more differentiation. For me, this is somehow a little too fast, and the gates are often attached nasty, so you often collected time penalties ... that would be quiet can make a little more relaxed

American Football
Again, this is a very active game. Man runs and throws and is quite fast out of breath, per se, but well implemented. Moves you say to my language.

In general, the voice input works in German quite well. Problems makes this apparently only when running on loud music from the game. At least I had this experience. Perhaps Microsoft should adjust the game so that if you have "xbox" said the game music is somewhat attenuated, so that the voice input may be better understood. It occurs, for every day that you clearly are the commands, but the console simply does not respond.

The challenges that can be seen as a social component of the game in itself is also a good idea, and I do not really like the fact that I mitbekomme just in the game itself that challenges me someone.

Otherwise, there is unfortunately a little bit minigames for individual disciplines, but here is probably still reworked by download. The first DLC package is the way to have for free on the Marketplace.

Of course, a flagship title for the controller-free way to play with Kinect Kinect Sports 2 has become again, no question.
But somehow stays with me from the wow effect, I do not know. Is it a habit? the chosen sports?

However, in local multiplayer, the game is lots of fun and the mini-games are varied.

For Kinect owners actually a compulsory purchase
