Kinect Adventures!

Kinect Adventures! features a story mode, but mostly this is a means of motivating players to keep playing by offering them the option to progress. The game focuses instead on the sports and adventure gameplay, which is what it centers on. There are five different minigames available for playing independently or cooperatively (or, in the case of Reflex Ridge, competitively). Each minigame uses the Kinect camera to track the motions of players, allowing for hands-free, fully body motion gameplay. In every minigame, the objective is to collect adventure pins. These will allow players to earn medals and affect progression if the game is being played in story mode.

Kinect Adventures! isn't very difficult to play as there aren't any controls to master. Kids should be able to play without too much difficulty.

Kinect Adventures! features Xbox Live support for cooperative and competitive online multiplayer. Local multiplayer is also supports.
