It may seem like a shameless movie tie-in, but Puss in Boots features engaging sword battles, wooing female cats with guitar solos, and simplistic platforming that are all evenly spaced out and varied so the gameplay never feels stale or outstays its welcome.įollowing the plot of the movie, the fencing feline pursues the criminals Jack and Jill who have the magic beans necessary to reach the Giant’s castle, where Puss aims to rob the Golden Goose eggs and provide wealth for his hometown and restore his honor. The menu system is intuitive and easy to get around, the games themselves all play relatively well, and there’s genuine fun to be had with some good friends (try dancing around the home plate in baseball and watch those little avatar feet flail). It might not quite be Wii Sports, but as an actual game, Kinect Sports: Season Two has more finesse and polish than your average party/sports title, especially in its presentation. Darts (as is the nature of the sport itself) can be finicky at times and the American football, while fun with two players, is slightly limiting in single player. Even with the older model Kinect, most of the activities are responsive and fun to play with the golf and tennis playing particularly well. Along with these new activities, it also incorporates the feature of voice control that, although temperamental, still allows menu navigation to be that much easier and has small in-game roles like saying “READY, HIKE!” when you want to begin a play in football.
To be fair, I’m not exactly clued up on the ins and outs of skiing, so it does help. It also features tutorials before every event, just in case any friends or family have never played any of the sports before. Kinect Sports: Season Two features six sports: American football, golf, darts, tennis, skiing and baseball, with three levels of difficulty for each sport.
