1.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Mess; Unplayable for Lefties, November 22, 2010

Kinect is a very new system and finding interesting ways to use it remains a challenge. Mini game collections are in no short supply this early in the peripheral's life and at least the premise is sound. Execution is key. I think Dance Central and, to a lesser extent, Kinect Sports got it right, or perhaps right enough. Games like Sonic Free Riders demonstrated how a potentially good game can be ruined by difficult controls.

Then there's Game Party in Motion (GPiM). I'm not familiar with WB making decent games, but I nonetheless had hopes that GPiM could provide some good old fashioned entertainment. It has an impressive lineup of games including darts, horseshoes, and skee ball. The menu system/navigation went for simplicity and is fairly easy to work through once you get the hang of activating the confirm and cancel commands. To confirm, you hold your right hand around waist level without extending the arm. You can put your hand directly off to the side, a little in front...Read more

This is the first dud I've come across for the Kinect. The interface is garbage and the motion control is horrible. 2players is a pain, and has to be set up everytime you change games. Oh and the players can't leave the field of play even when it's not their turn or you'll send the sdupit game into fits. This is a very poor game design and set up (NOT A KINECT ISSUE). Again due not buy.

Wow I have really liked the work out games, the sports games, and the adventure game so for for Kinect. But this one ... what an epic fail! This game is the one that will seldomly get played. Thank God they didn't bundle it with the Kinect or I would have taken it back to the store the day I got it. Horrible motion tracking and control during game play, it's at a level far below any of the other Kinect games. You will be disappointed if you buy this. I really had high hopes because I wanted to play beer pong and bean bag toss with my friends when we partied at my place. It has a lot of games but they are all so frustrating to control.
