Let me start with saying yes, I agree with the other reviewers.I cannot understand why you have to keep reinitializing your position before the game can properly read a second player. And while playing the game unfortunatly it is easy to move out of the box and have to reinitialize all over again. This seems to disrupt the flow of the game. It is frustrating, but hey it is a first generation game. Then again you look at Microsoft's Sports and you do have to wonder. But once you get into the games they are very fun to play. The skiing and hand gliding make the game worth pruchasing. However the football training leaves a lot to be desired. It seems to lag considerably.The horseback riding is enjoyable. And the boxing and soccer are spot on! However, fair warning, when you play the soccer game make sure you have plenty of room for kicking angle shots. I also like the way the games keeps record of your progress. Controls are very senstive and responsive to actual movements. Football is the only part of the game I found disappointing. The games are challenging and rewarding.Read full review
I bought Motionsports for my Xbox 360 Kinect so that I can get back into active sports. While the range of sports is nice, I wanted something relaxing and fun to do. I didn't want to get knocked down twice in boxing! Or hit the fence half dozen times in downhill skiing! This is probably more for individual sport participation rather than team play. I wanted bowling, this didn't have that. I wanted boxing, but not the kind of competitive that I saw. Other sports were just as hard (horseriding - horse kept hitting jumps, football - keep hitting barricades). Overall if you wanted to participate in individual sports, this is the right game. If you wanted team sports, look elsewhere! thanks. LJK.
I would like to clarify my rating of excellent here. First off, for me, it was an excellent buy. I bought it about 2 months ago and I still play it and love it. Now to be more descriptive, if you are buying this game like I did strictly for the hang gliding mini-game then I think you will be thrilled with your purchase. As a lover of slow moving games without a clear direction this met every expectation I had and more. I love the hang gliding game because it's peaceful and very enjoyable. The level where you fly over the city is amazing. I love swooping down near the bridges, flying in between buildings and going over the edge of the water and spend alot of time just flying around rather than aiming directly for the target you're suppose to reach. The graphics here are outstanding. The one thing about hang gliding which annoys me is the announcer. If that guy could just shut up hang gliding would be perfect. He talks the whole time and sometimes ruins the ambience of flying around with his stupid and tedious remarks. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing. If you are buying it for any of the other games all I can say is good luck. To me the other games were just bonuses and not really what I was buying the game for. Skiing is kindof fun and the graphics are excellent and the only other game on here I've played multiple times. The other games are so-so and I only played the rest of the games once. Horseback riding's controls are very touchy and becomes very annoying very quickly. It is my least favorite of all the games. I never could get the hang of it. Boxing is alright once you get the hang of it. Soccer is not much fun compared to Kinect Sport's version of soccer which I own as well. I don't really have alot to say about the other games. They are mediocre at their best and poor at worst. I will say I read all of the negative reviews before I got this game which is why it led me to purchase it used on Ebay so that if it sucked I would only feel slightly ripped off. The negative reviews mention quite abit about how the announcer is annoying. He is on every game and definately would not be missed. Also, the controls are very touchy and take some getting used to, even on hang gliding. I suggest watching each demonstration at the beginning of each game VERY closely before playing the actual game. Second, the writing on the screen is small and sometimes hard to read and I find myself squinting sometimes in between games. Also the game comes with very general instructions other than the demonstrations before each game. Alot of it is trial and error in figuring out how to play. The programmers definately missed out on that aspect. Lastly, prepare to have your picture taken...every single game. There is no way to turn this off. I don't find this nearly as annoying as other people who have reviewed this game do but I could have definately done without it.Read full review
