One of the best Kinect games ever released. [Issue#177, p.85]

Fru is the first killer app for Kinect 2.0 and can use the Kinect better than anyone until now. A brilliant game that not all the players can appreciate, but that everyone should try.

FRU delivers the game that the Kinect needs to remain as a viable device. The clever set of mechanics that are on offer means that if you have a Kinect currently gathering dust, you owe it a game of FRU.

Probably the best concept for a Kinect game i ever seen, simply funny and different. Nice work.

I normally dislike Kinect games, however, FRU is very enjoyable. A surprise hit for me. Incredibly unique and fun. I would recommend this game to anyone that loves puzzle games.

If Kinect had come out the box with games like FRU, I think the lifespan of the device would have been very different. Genius mechanics, challenging puzzles, and a great art style. This is an excellent multiplayer title for when you have friends over - hand the controller back and forth and take turns helping your friend across a chasm, or get them stuck in a wall accidentally! If you like 2D platformers, this is your kind of stuff.

While Fru might not be as long as you would like, it’s still a phenomenal experience which every Kinect owner should purchase.

Kinect has been an unlucky device. Fru is a real masterpiece, a brilliant game everyone should try and share. Through Games delivers Kinect's Killer App: too bad they are few years late.

This game uses Kinect as it was meant to be used: it is technically amazing, and it takes you to another world in which not your brain, but also your body plays a big part. The game is funny, the puzzles are smart and that makes the shortness of it a bit of a let-down, in a positive way though.

Short yet very intense, FRU is the best reason you should reconnect Kinect to your Xbox One.

Fru is so much fun that will convince you to dust off your Kinect, and will make you sweat to complete the adventure.

It’s sad that Fru came out so long after the Kinect was a viable gaming peripheral. Had it released closer to the Xbox One’s launch, we might’ve been able to laud it as a reason to own a Kinect. As is, it’s a solid little puzzle-platformer that might be worth a look if you haven’t packed your Kinect away—assuming you ever got one in the first place.

One of the most unique puzzle platformers I've ever played. Via Kinect, your silhouette is onscreen, revealing a second world. It's up to you to contort your body to solve the puzzles by revealing or concealing obstacles between the two worlds, thereby enabling the onscreen protagonist to traverse the levels. The coolest part, though, is the bonus mode available if you find all the collectibles: it unlocks the original developer mode, including co-op play! Very neat.

Fun puzzle platformer that uses the Kinect to good effect. Fun for both me and my 4yo. To increase difficulty and fun one player can use the controller and the other is the silhouette.

One of the worst games I've played on Xbox One. I rather go to the dentist than play another Kinect title. I will stick to the Wii U. Play something differnet
SummaryFRU is a puzzle platformer featuring an innovative use of Kinect, in which your silhouette becomes a "portal" between two worlds. You find yourself solving puzzles by strategically positioning your body, combining physical interaction with traditional platforming. Every level can be solved in multiple ways, with different poses. [Xbox.co... Read More
