Wii Sports has got some competition breathing down its neck with Kinect Sports. While the game doesn't support much outside of two-player competition (and even that's questionable) and has its reading issues, it's a well-planned collection that you shouldn't hesitate to pick up with your Kinect device. Let's hit the lanes!

It is a nice game to play, the variety of sports is excellent and has exclusives with Wii Sports, such as track and field, volleyball, and soccer. However, the game has its issues. The Kinect doesn't read movements properly all the time and is a worse motion sensor compared to the Wii Remote, which depicts accurate motions most of the time. The commentary adds a step of realism though, something Wii Sports doesn't have.

I'll go so far as to say that the genre of sports-themed minigame collections probably isn't capable of really being revolutionized, but Kinect Sports gets dangerously close, simply by virtue of doing the one thing other motion-controlling technologies haven't been able to yet: Tracking your feet.

This game is very underrated and it was so much fun back in the day! It was pretty much the Wii Sports of Xbox 360!! Loved and enjoyed this game a lot as a kid! I still play it sometimes even today :) Thank you Microsoft for this amazing exclusive!

This is Rare and Microsofts version of Wii Sports. It hasn´t got as precise control as Sports Champions or as great graphics, but it delivers on the fun part. Party Mode is an excellent addition to a solid line-up of disciplines.

The football is shoddy, avatars glitch out and every now and again and the responsiveness of the game is occasionally brought into question - but none of this stops the experience being enjoyable. To conclude then, the answer to a question that has been on everybody's lips: is Kinect Sports better than Wii Sports?... Without a doubt.

Kinect Sports can bee lots of fun when played with other people, but there is a huge Déjà Vu, especially when compared to Wii Sports.

Kinect Sports show us the possibilites of Kinect, but also the flaws of it. You can have some fun with the game if you are a group of people playing, but the game lacks in the necessary precision to make it a good game.

Bowling from Kinect Sports (Xbox 360!) is an Masterpiece! Fact! Also Tabletennis is great an many more.

PROS: Great for Multiplayer, pretty good response time, good graphics, decent variety in sports, provides decent excersize. CONS: Gets boring in singleplayer, requires a pretty big room, Kinect doesn't always read the second player's movements as well. Rating: 7/10 (good)

A surprisingly frustrating experience. Most of the games feel inaccurate and the bowling, the one that I wanted to like the most, just plain ****. I cannot believe I paid $50 for this trash when the price should have been dropped by now. Beware of this title. Kinect adventures is 10,000 times better and it is FREE.
SummaryThis action sports compilation for the Xbox 360's motion-sensing accessory Kinect features boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, soccer, ping-pong, and traditional athletic events.
