I have now had the connect for about a week and so far it’s everything they say it is and more. I haven’t had time to play many games on it (not surprising when they’re $50 a pop), but the two most popular games I have played and already find myself near addiction.
Sports is a lot of fun. The motion is very intuitive and the Kinect sensor is sensitive enough to pick up your natural movements. I dislike bowling, in part because it’s inconsistent (possible user error there) and in part because it requires the least amount of energy. This may be the same reason it endears the game to others but I prefer to get my body up and moving. My favorite Sport is probably Beach Volleyball. Though we’ve already had two incidents with the ceiling and ceiling fan. You have to be careful when you jump up to spike the ball over the net.
Dance Central is by far the most fun. Some of the moves are tricky but I like how they organize them in an easy to learn way. I enjoy learning the basic steps and then working my way up through the skill levels. It takes a couple runs through each dance for the choreography to feel natural, but once that happens I’m able to relax and feel the beat and have a lot of fun. I’m hoping for this to turn me into a confident dancer that graces the dance floor with my amazing moves. Or at least gives me the nerve to get out on the dance floor when a fast song plays.
I think the Kinect is a great game console to have for playing with friends and family. The extra exercise is added bonus!
I plan on checking out the Zumba game and get into some kind of regular dance workout routine right from the comfort of my living room. Does exercise get any better than that?
