Kinectimals Limited Edition.



Includes:
Kinectimals Game.
Exclusive Maltese Tiger Plush.
In-Game Code to Unlock a Maltese Tiger.

Packaging/Features Review:


Packaged in a fairly sturdy box, with a cut-out on the front to allow you to see the plush toy inside.


Plush toy is well made, and very soft - and has a tag around its' neck which you can scan using the Kinect sensor to unlock a Maltese Tiger in the game.


Game Review:


Fun game, although probably best suited to children, as it does make you feel/look silly when you are clapping an invisible Tiger (or in Vanessa's case, Panther). 


A strange narrating fairy type thing tends to come and explain things to you and just generally creep you out, as its' voice is annoying and almost patronizing. 


Doing tasks with your "Kinectimal" can be quite challenging, despite the audience this game is aimed at, as it often tells you to throw your (invisible) ball to knock down a variety of things. 


Sounds simple enough, but trying to 'throw' it at the correct angle to be able to knock anything over, is actually quite difficult and takes some getting used to.


To compensate for this, your "Kinectimal" often 'sees' you are having difficulty and runs into the things to knock them down for you.


The best part of the game is the little mini race course challenges, as they are genuinely quite fun to do.


But again, definitely a game designed for children and only buy if you are into this type of game or if you are just buying it for the sake of it being "Limited Edition".
