Microsoft Kinect Review

The Kinect is a relatively new component for the Xbox 360 that allows players to control the Xbox as well as Kinect-friendly by entirely using your body. With the Kinect, the controller is you, and the need for plastic controllers with buttons and analog sticks becomes obsolete.

How the Kinect Works

At first glance, the Kinect looks like a long, slender piece of plastic sitting on top of your TV and facing the living room. The Kinect is actually a camera with a built-in microphone that utilizes both of these components to detect players in front of it. By using both of these components, it can identify different players with its facial recognition technology and it can even respond to voice. It can even allow players to navigate their entire Xbox using their hands rather than just Kinect games.

The Downsides of the Kinect

Although the Kinect is highly functional and has a lot of potential, its downfalls are the fact that it can take a long time to get it set up and calibrated correctly. Additionally, there is an obvious lag between what you do in real life compared to what you see on the screen. This is most likely because Microsoft ditched the on-board processor to keep prices down.

The Upsides of the Kinect

The Kinect is better for players that want more family-oriented games that encourage group play instead of single player. Besides, the Kinect isn't meant to be an advanced piece of technology. It's for families to have fun and come together to play games.
