Wipeout 3 - Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect

I was worried the motion controls would be gimmicky, but the Kinect tracking in Wipeout 3 is surprisingly precise for dodging obstacles. My whole family got competitive trying to beat each other’s scores without touching a controller.

I finally felt like I was actually on the course, dodging obstacles with my whole body—the motion control for the slalom is spot-on. It’s a fun, physical workout that makes the game way more engaging than just pressing buttons.

The Kinect setup took me a minute to calibrate, but once I got the room cleared, the hands-free swinging and dodging felt surprisingly natural. I’ve played through the career mode twice now and the motion tracking never lagged during the harder obstacle courses. It’s the most fun I’ve had on my 360
