It a
rrived a day after the release date, thanks to the lacklustre Swedish Posten, but it's arrived - the Kinect that we had pre-ordered in July. There's mixed reviews come out, but then again, there always is with stuff like this.
Proponents of Kinect are enthused with the feedback and clarity of knowing where everyone is in the room. The first wave of games that came out at the same time are very "Family Friendly" and that reflects the drive that Microsoft wanted ready for the holiday season. Kinect Adventures is included in the pack and is a great way of getting used to having a hands-free controller - a bonus being that it takes random photos of you which you can post to Facebook later on and show everyone what an idiot you look like when playing.
Opponents of Kinect mention the relative shallowness of the games so far ("too" family friendly) and some people have been having problems getting Kinect to follow them properly - but that is explained quite clearly by the Kinect help guides that you need to wear clothes that contrast with the room colours and have good lighting.
Reviews are only ever other peoples' opinions though. Personally, I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with Kinect!
