(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I Just tried out Kinect on a n xbox 360 slim,

it was being demoed in Argos store near where I live, i went in to buy Castlevania so got to try it out.

I played the game, where you are in an inflatable raft going down some rapids.

and it sucked.

it was unresponsive, to the state where it missed a lot of my movements, and the movements it did recognise were delayed by about half a second.

all you had to do was step left or right, to adjust your weight on the raft, which was supposed to turn it, and jump.

I finished the level, but i didn't get too many of the stars.

I found you have to move about half a second before you actually need to, or your character slams in the walls.

I asked the MS guy that was representing it, if it was working properly, and he said, it wasn't detecting my movements that accurately because I am too tall. I am only 6 foot tall, so bigger people could have problems. That could of been because I was quite close to it, it was in a small roped area of the store so I was only about 1 metre away from it.

The Kinetic itself was on a table, with a TV and it was at the bottom of the TV so was at about waist height, which could explain why it wasn't tracking me properly.

Over all, it was a laggier shinier version of an eyetoy. The graphics were obviously quite good, but it just wasn't responsive enough to make it that fun, if it was a game that required more actions, it would of really struggled today.

the REP said they are demonstrating it in a lot of Argos stores in the UK, so if you are near one, check it out and you might get to play it yourself.

are you under 12?

im not gonna waste my money on this crap.

Okay for the idiots that said you have to be 12 to play it....no you dont....if you read the post he said he was in a closed in area and was 1 meter away from it so obviously you have to be far back to play just like the move and wii. I guess some of you cant read. Ive seen the Kinect in action and it does quite well if your about 5 feet back. I think MS did a good job making a remoteless device.
