Xbox 360 Critic Reviews

If you're up for some destruction and don't have Angry Birds handy, this is clearly the next best thing.

Wreckateer nails what Kinect play ought to be. You feel utterly ridiculous flapping your arms around, but it's fun rather than frustrating.

While the storyline may be a bit hokey and the voice-acting a bit childish, the fun that can be had with the gameplay and smooth easy motion controls just can't be denied. It's the best kind of fun: simple to play, but hard to master. It's a casual motion controlled game that actually works well, and offers up real satisfaction when that control pays off it high scores and massive destruction.

A great collection of bullets and smart level design make Wreckateer a compelling and challenging puzzle game.

Wreckateer brings comedy and controlled chaos to the destruction business. It will give you tired arms and sore shoulders, but it is worth it. As a downloadable title it is a pure steal and must be considered a required try (if not buy) for every Kinect-owner.

Not the best game on XBLA by a long shot, not even the best Kinect game, but a solid addition to anyone's catalogue.

One of the best Kinect titles ever to be released on XBLA. Surprisingly fun, and if you have a Kinect for your Xbox 360, it'd be almost wrong not to give Wreckateer a chance.

As far as Kinect games go Wreckateer is one of the better ones available, and at 800 Microsoft Points you really can't complain for several hours of gameplay.

Wreckateer is one of the first Kinect games since the camera's release in 2010, that actually works well. We've had tons of Kinect games that found a mare's nest. That makes it a huge relief when we discovered that Wreckateer works as it should work.

What redeems Wreckateer, ultimately, is its variety. Each gleefully cartoony castle is sprinkled with point targets, explosive satchel charges, cowering goblins, and special icons that make your shot speed up, bounce, and so on.
