Kinectimals: Now with Bears! Critic Reviews

Not just cats, but Kinectimals: Now with Bears – the game now truly has a touch of Teddy bear 2.0. Sure there's still room for improvement with the Kinect sensing. More perceived freedom in how you play is the right way to make the most of good graphics and extreme cute factor. Offers an exotic virtual pet and loads of fun with it.

Though there is a decent amount of content in the game's adventure mode, there isn't much to do afterward.

This game is adorable, sure, but where it really succeeds is with its motion control, which seems to give you a direct link with the cute animal on the screen. High-end visuals and animation work with this to complete the illusion of having this wild pet in your living room.

The bear gameplay alone offers up around ten hours of fur-bonding adventures, packed with fun activities and even an over-arching mystery in which players can solve the Fiddler's quest.

A well-made children's game. And I'd better manage to convince some of you of this notion because, damn, I'm still suffering from some tennis elbow after all the arm swinging I've done.

Although this is just an expansion, the story of the bears is interesting enough for those who have played the original, and those who haven't won't find a better excuse to try the game.
