Kinect Star Wars Review

Kinect Star Wars works well in certain conditions and if you are a fan of the lore and Star Wars in general, and aren't bothered by the Kinect controls and have a lot of patience then this game is recommended. But if you have a passing interest in Kinect games, but want to check this out, here's my advice to you. Don't.

Kinect Star Wars Review

Much of Kinect Star Wars is sheer novelty, and you only need to spend a few hours with it to realise that there’s very little meat on the bones here. The mini games never become compelling enough for repeat play, and the dancing section — which is arguably the most engaging feature of the whole package — doesn’t actually stand up that well when you remove the characters and the licence. Even the presentation feels inconsistent; some sections look rough, while others — the Galactic Dance Off in particular — pack in loads of graphical detail. Another disappointment is that with the exception of Greg Proops, who provides the voice of the commentator in the Pod Racing section, all of the other voice parts are supplied by new actors, rather than those from the movies.
