Star Wars Kinect Sounds Like an Atrocity

Star Wars Kinect Has Dancing Tournaments
27Kinect Star Wars Delayed
17Cost You, Star Wars Xbox 360 Will
27The press release just came through for Star Wars Kinect. It’s coming out on the 3rd of April and they’ve somehow seen justification in ramming a dancing game mode into it. I wish it was April the 1st.
Galactic Dance Off Mode is, according to the bile-summoning PR schtick, “loaded with Star Wars-themed pop tunes where those still honing their Jedi skills can take a break to battle Darth Vader on the dance floor”. It genuinely sounds like the worst thing anyone could ever have put in a video game to me. I don’t know, perhaps kids will adore throwing shapes with Jar Jar Binks but I can only imagine there being any joy if you get to pop and lock his skinny little neck.
Don’t panic though other, potentially less horrendous, game modes include the ability to take part in lightsaber duels, space battles and ride on speeder bikes. That almost sounds like it might not be completely awful.
So, April 3rd in the UK and £39.99 for the game. The limited edition R2-D2 Xbox 360, C3P0 controller and white Kinect (which I do really want) is set to cost £349.99 and includes a copy of the game. More tempting than the dark side of The Force.
Edit: It’s only fair to point out that Tuffcub broke this story months ago. I’d managed to expunge that from my memory and now I’m going to have to pay for another expensive course of hypnotherapy. Thanks.

you don’t need to see his identification.

he can go about his business.

NOOOOOOOOO…*gets sued by Lucas for using NOOO to many times this month*
I can see it being awful but still selling well. From the gameplay videos i’ve seen, it seems to be laggy and in a game where you are a jedi, that’s not good.
I think even Kris would refuse to dance to it. :O Oh god, what if it has Jar Jar Binks trying to do karako on it? *screams in horror and runs away*

This is going to be so bad. Not bad meaning good, but bad meaning bad.
That they even charge the price of an AAA title for it after what I’ve seen/read…

Parents looking for presents and asking GAME’s resident liars for advice.
Can you actually imagine working on making this shit too? Hell is all too real a place it would seem.

But what else can we use to mentally scar Kris for life if you end up reviewing this?

When Charlie Brooker used to write for PC Zone I used to pray each month that he’d get something like this to review, it wasa always the first thing I checked :D
