Kinect Sports Critic Reviews

If you want your Christmas to be characterised by tears of laughter, this is an essential purchase.

A brilliant showpiece for Kinect.

Kinect Sports may have a simple premise, but that very simplicity is what allows it to shine. As much a tech demo of the Kinect's abilities as a game, it is somewhat surprising that Kinect Sports wasn't chosen as the featured pack-in title. If you own a Kinect, this is a game that really should be in your collection.

Good graphics, great licensed music and fun gameplay, Kinect Sports is a must have title for your 360!

It may not be as legendary as Wii Sports (yet), but for a debut sports compilation for Microsoft's high-priced gadget, Kinect Sports does more than enough to push the thrill of competition. It's good fun with friends, and the easily adaptable controls make it very user friendly, no matter what your height and age is.

No game since Wii Sports has done so much to capture Nintendo's mixture of initial accessibility, entertainment value and wide appeal.

This is Rare and Microsofts version of Wii Sports. It hasn´t got as precise control as Sports Champions or as great graphics, but it delivers on the fun part. Party Mode is an excellent addition to a solid line-up of disciplines.

An easily accessible but surprisingly nuanced game. While there are some stumbling points here and there, such as the strange local multiplayer omissions in Table tennis or the muddled co-op mechanics of soccer, Kinect Sports still manages to be fun and different.

In the end, if you're looking for a way to show off your new Kinect, this provides a great complement to the pack-in title, Kinect Adventures.

A good party game, very funny to play with friends at home or over Xbox Live.

There are moments of pure unadulterated joy packed into this sports compilation, and although it's all over rather rapidly, it's a great ride while it lasts.

Kinect Sports is a brilliant example of how good a mini-game compilation can be and proves to be an excellent demonstration of how well Kinect can work. It does lack a little depth in some areas but proves to be an excellent title to play with friends.

Despite its ups and downs, and its limitations, Kinect Sports is a great game, with such an ability to turn something new, Kinect, into the center of many hours of fun and magic.

It's cool, fun and full of sporting attitude which is incredibly hard not to fall in love with.

Kinect Sports is fun, challenging and a great addition to your collection. This is another Kinect game you really should buy if you are planning to buy Kinect.

Rare's work on Kinect Sports really demonstrates what the camera is capable when it's used by a capable developer. If you've already got the hardware to play it on, consider Kinect Sports a must-have.

I'll go so far as to say that the genre of sports-themed minigame collections probably isn't capable of really being revolutionized, but Kinect Sports gets dangerously close, simply by virtue of doing the one thing other motion-controlling technologies haven't been able to yet: Tracking your feet.

I can say that Kinect Sports is now my second favorite Kinect title, right behind Dance Central.

Something for everyone.

Every bit as fun as it is unoriginal. And football's ace.
