  • The Kinect has been with us for a little while now, and while we think the system has a huge amount of potential, there's still some growing pains that needs to be addressed. We'd like to see Microsoft working on the accuracy and very importantly, add...

  • Technically impressive, Doesn't require multiple calibrations, Navigating menus controller free is pretty cool
  • Requires an obscene amount of space, Too expensive, Crappy launch line-up

  • Controller-free motion gaming; full-body motion sensor; solid game library at launch; voice control; games will have you very active; almost impossible to fool.
  • Timing-based learning curve; menu and video navigation occasionally wonky and gets old fast; requires a lot of room to play; majority of games require standing; hardcore gamers may not feel satisfied; requires separate power supply when used with older Xbox 360 consoles.

  • Abstract:  La propuesta de interacción por movimiento de Microsoft ya ha llegado. Frente a ella, Move y un Wiimote rejuvenecido con el adaptador Wii Motion Plus esperan pacientemente los primeros resultados, pero, ¿con qué se presenta Kinect ? Pues precisamente con ...

  • Liberté de mouvements, Bonne détection du corps, Très intuitif, pas besoin d'acheter d'autres accessoires, Une seule calibration à faire, Vendu avec un jeu
  • Besoin de beaucoup d'espace devant le téléviseur, Réactivité et précision limités dans certains jeux, Sensation étrange de ne rien avoir en mains, Certains types de jeux inadaptés, Nécessite tout de même un minimum de lumière
  • Particulièrement adapté aux joueurs occasionnels et aux familles, Kinect est une belle réussite technique. Il pose cependant quelques problèmes de place et n'est pas adapté à tous les types de jeux. Les joueurs réguliers préfèreront sans doute attendre...

  • Abstract:  Kinect, c’est un peu Minority Report dans le salon. Grâce à l’accessoire placé sous le téléviseur, la Xbox reconnait les voix et les formes pour interagir avec le joueur. L’ensemble est capable d’analyser les mouvements du corps très finement pour fair...

  • Sensation d'immersion, Jeu offert sympathique, Temps de réponse correct, Nombreux jeux au lancement
  • Prix, Socles optionnels, Jeu offert trop « léger », Pas plus de 2 joueurs simultanés
  • Contrairement à ce qu'affirme Microsoft, le fait de pouvoir contrôler ses jeux sans manette n'est pas révolutionnaire. Ce concept avait déjà été introduit 7 ans plus tôt par Sony sur Playstation 2 avec EyeToy Play, une caméra USB qui était accompagnée d'u...
