So 1. I was like, wow small little demo. Weird. But no one was even looking at it when my gf and I went up but we hopped on and a crowd immediatly developed (and who would blame them, it honestly just is cool how it works). So the game they had was the Kinect Adventures an they were showing off the Roller Coaster game where you collect coins. A few things stood out:
1. Pretty cool how the Kinect just recognizes when someone else steps into play. Legit the woman just said to my gf "ok just step in " an boom it split the screen.
2. There is a delay....nothing terrible at all, but it took one game to get used to it. Also this was just setup in the clothing section and every once and a while the avatar did a weird thing like arm janking up...but i chalked it up to the crowd behind us. But with that said i was impressed it was able to keep track of the original players even with crowds moving behind us.
3. The game was fun. Like had that "first time playing the wii" fun...which for the target audience MS is aiming for is key. But also added with the fun is how goddamn tiring it is haha. Both my gf and I are gym goers (in fact she just ran a 5K like 3 weeks ago) yet we both started sweating haha.
4. The pictures were a cool touch...almost like a roller coaster ride where you memorize where the camera was, i knew when it would come so i went a little harder.
5. Also it really is just impressive how well it works. Like you can't half ass anything. You have to dodge obstecals on your little board thats moving but you can't just lean...i had to take steps to avoid some.
Anyway...we played 2 games then i recorded this little girl playing (she was pretty good at the beginning) but she looked like she had fun and even the crowd were laughing and cheering her on:
