Xbox Kinetic Games That Make You Drop The Controller

Advancing the slogan “All you need is You”, Xbox has made a strong leap into the latest boom in gaming – the games based on full kinetic control. In order to play them, you have to move around, that is. Xbox Kinect games, as they are called according to the system developed, take you off the couch and cause you to move as required. You may start dancing, begin some fitness activities, learn to imitate Michael Jackson, play with extremely cute animals or have a serious fight against the dark side. Kinect technology replaces traditional controllers and lets your body moves be in charge of all the action. 

There are several categories of Xbox Kinetic games, based on the type of activities and theme. Perhaps the most challenging one is Kinect Sports, which allows you to achieve performance right in your living room. These are all action-packed, whether you choose volleyball, bowling, soccer, table tennis, boxing and so on. It is all about full body input and that is certain to be a new and amazing experience, with great fun at the same time. You can compete alone for setting your personal best, or become part of a team, both ways leading to unlocking new features. The fitness games ask for just as much involvement and are likely to help you stick to an exercising program more than traditional approaches have.

Adding more fun to the action, there is a whole world of dancing to explore with the Xbox Kinetic games. Watch your image projected on a fancy club stage in real time as you do the dance moves yourself in DanceMasters, or choose the best-selling Dance Central for the exciting multiplayer feature, which allows you to rest whenever, as your peers keep the party going. These games score even more points by letting you bring your own music in, thus fully customizing your experience.

When it comes to entertainment for the little ones, Xbox Kinetic games boast with the award-winning Kinectimals, in which you form bonds with the cute bear cubs, bonds that evolve with each time you play. There is also a part of mystery to it, as you have some undiscovered islands to explore with your wild pet. The game got the Parents’ Choice Gold Award and has an application for mobile phones. Still in the action and adventure genre, there are the titles suitable for grown ups too, like Haunt, in which you are free to explore a spooky mansion using your body instead of any controller. The screen will show you commands like ‘duck!’ and ‘cover your eyes!’, therefore it is easy to see that such Xbox Kinetic games also require a bit of obedience and guide the player in his adventure.
