Kinect Adventures

As far as I know, I think that Kinect Adventures is the best game for Xbox 360 Kinect providing the most variety of games, whether you want to chill and just move around a bit or go full out and jump, duck, and sweat. Yes there is Dance Central where you can dance to modern songs and Kinect Sports where there are a few "athletic" games even though most of it is fake-me-out sports. Now I don't mean to hate on any of the other kinect games because they are all still awesome but I am about to state all the pros to the game Kinect Adventures itself. There are five different games on the kinect, all of which you can play with one other person. In all the games you collect coins, and depending on the time bonus and how many coins you get affects which medal you get: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum. If actually playing Adventure mode these medals can get you gear that your character wears while playing and also trophies which can copy what you do, possibly even sing(I don't know haven't unlocked one yet). At the end of each game, as long as you don't take off the default setting, the sensor will show pictures that it took during your game play, and you can look at them later(pretty hilarious most of the time). Here is a review of all five games with a picture and a youtube link showing each game being played.



The first game is 20,000 Leaks, and despite the fact that are a lot leaks there are nowhere near 20,000 Leaks in one game. The objective of this game is to cover all of the leaks that start pouring into a glass tank from fish that swim around it. You simply use your arms, legs, and head to cover all the leaks that appear. I would rate this the least/5th best game and 4th for activeness.

The second game is River Rush where you float on a big red raft and jump, dodge, and slide around obstacles around a rapid river. You need very good timing for this game because of the big coin bunches that float in the sky which you must jump at the right time to get, especially if coming off a cliff. Now unless you can literally jump like a ninja I highly advise you play this game on the bottom floor of you house because you might brake some boards in your house if you play upstairs(very close personal experience). This is by far the most fun and most active game in Kinect Adventures :)

The third game is Rallyball and is basically Pong brought to the next level. You start with a single ball in front of you and hit it to try and destroy all the boxes, and as it comes back at you, you must use your as the bounce pad to set the ball back towards the boxes again. When you hit the floating targets next to the boxes, there comes an extreme ball frenzy with several more balls that you can try to hit, and prevent from slipping past you, so that you earn more points at the end of the round. I would put this game at 2nd for most fun and 3rd for most active.

The fourth game is Reflex Ridge where you ride through an obstacle course on a roller coaster by jumping over, stepping aside, and ducking under reflex bars. You also have to shape your body specifically to acquire as many points possible for example if there is a line of coins in the shape of  " / ",  or  "Y" then you must form your body that way to get all the coins. When playing with 2 players in this game, you will play against each other unlike all the other games where you play with your partner. This game doesn't involve as much timing and jumping as Rallyball but I would still suggest playing downstairs. Rating I would say this game is 3rd for best/most fun and 2nd for activeness.

The fifth and last game is Space Pop which you use your arms to fly around a room and pop all the bubbles, every one being substituted by a coin. If you have ever seen Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, it is very similar to the scene where they drink the bubble drink and start floating up, except in Space Pop you simply put your arms down instead of burping to get down. Of the five games I would rate this the 4th best game in Kinect Adventures and probably the least active.
