Professional reviews from gaming critics
Turn your living room into a world-class stadium, bowling alley, soccer pitch or track-and-field arena. With Kinect Sports you're not only the star player, you are the controller. See a ball? Kick it. Spike it. Even give it a little topspin. Kinect Sports features soccer, beach volleyball, bowling, table tennis, track and field, and boxing.
As an example of what Kinect can do, and as a point of entry for gamers and casuals alike, Kinect Sports delivers an easily accessible but surprisingly nuanced game.

With Rare the current kings of Avatars and a long way away from their traditional core gaming roots, who better than to pick up the mantle? Oi, don’t say Nintendo... you cheeky swine. The answer was meant to be Rare.
