There is little reason to return to the game for days or weeks at a time, with few rewards available for continued play. While it is a fun game for short bursts of time, Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 lacks the depth needed to be a top choice game for most gamers, and fails to build upon its predecessor. That being said, for those gamers looking for a fun distraction that's sure to be a hit at parties, Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 is stil...
