Winter stars for kinect is a game where you don’t expect a ravishing story or deep emotional bonds. Which is good, because you will find that the story they do have is pretty piss poor.
You hurt yourself in a skiing game, which you actually play but the game makes sure you have no idea what you’re doing, to ensure your timely failure. Then you’re all dandy again, but boy do you want to race. Yes, because when you almost die during a skiing game the first thing anyone would want to do is obviously try and win a world cup. Or normal cup, I don’t know I don’t understand sports.
So after several hours arguing with Kinect as usual, the game still thought I had to move back, oddly the games played fine even though I apparently didn’t have room, the most annoying thing was the big “Please move back” warning flashing across my screen.
I managed to somehow get enough room for the red flashing sign of doom to go away. I say I did, I actually mean my goblin slaves. And while they were working, I read the back of the box “Fun for all the family” But the game only has 2 player offline, so sure it’s fun for the family if you have 2 xbox 360s, 2 kinects and 4 sets of Xbox Live gold.
The game has a few “exciting” games, 11 of them in fact! Gogo ice karts (bobsleigh) twin stick slide (skiing) sliding ball thing (curling) crazy parachute twin sticks (paraskiing) vroom vroom on ice (snowmobile) not the triathlon (biathlon) Bored of that now! Here’s the rest: figure skating, freeride skiing, snowboard cross, ski flying, and short-track. Woo figure skating!
The tutorials never really explain what is going on, they tell you what to do but not what doing certain things actually does, it just tells you to do it.
The game never really does develop much of a story, the main joy is racing people who really don’t want to and saying “You think you can dance?!” To people who almost definitely want to hit you.
At the end of each race in true sporting style the rest of the team push you and moan about you, or at least they do if you come last, I never came out any better than last.
All the games are fairly fun to play in all honesty, and it’s clear that’s what they were aiming for. Family fun, y’know for when little Jim doesn’t make the ball game? Or when little Timmy loses a chance to get a gold medal, that’s right. They can relive that shame.
