Features of Kinect Game
By using hand gestures and body movements, Kinect lets you control your game character just as you would in real life. Moreover, these games are unique because you don’t have to hold a gaming device or controller. With the Kinect accessory, all you have to do is stand in front of the screen and the motion camera will read your body movements.
Microsoft developed ten Kinect games to launch with the Xbox 360. The games cover a variety of genres to appeal to a variety of users.
In addition to Star Wars, another Kinect game is expected. Using a light saber sword with real movement and motion-activated Force powers, players can battle with the Jedi. In this game, players will move their hands as they would move a real sword by standing in front of the screen. Hands-free control has revolutionized the world of gaming. The character in the game mimics the movements onscreen.
It is also possible to play Dance Central, a game developed by MTV, to launch with Kinect. Players mirror the on-screen avatar’s movements by picking a song from a long list of songs. The Kinect camera reads your movements and you score according to them. It’s a great way to play and learn some cool dance moves at the same time.
In Kinect Joy Ride, you just sit in front of a screen and move your hands like you are driving a car. No remotes, no arcades. Leaning back and forward while leaning back and forth to cause your vehicle to somersault will earn players points.
The major feature of Kinect is that it features a full body sensor and can read even the slightest of movements, which makes it a joy to play games because the games are aimed at a casual gaming audience, they don’t require a control system, so anyone can participate.
Providing quality games to casual gamers is paramount to Microsoft’s success with Kinect. The hands-free gaming interface of Kinect could be Microsoft’s way to get a piece of the massive casual games market.
