That's a bad score for an IGN review. Anything under 8.0 is bad to below average, 8.5 is decent, 9.0-10 is somewhat good to good.

The motion controls make it hard to just jump into the game, but they're fun once you've got the hang of everything.

the bolded word is why kinect will sell

If you played this game with a controller, What would it have gotten? I'm thinking in the 3.0-4.0 range.

Ravensmash

So you're saying that Kinect makes games better?!

Why would I say that? There is no way in hell that Kinect can make a game better. Kinect games will have so low of standards that as long as the character moves with your body, it will get a decent score.

7.5 on IGN is a bad score. You'll understand once the GS review comes up.

There are actually a lot more. But scores usually don't tell the whole story.

It got a 'Good' score. :P

Technology is one thing, but being able to incorporate it into entertainment is another. If Eyetoy was really that amazing, why did people still play dancing games holding Wii controller? They had a great technology, but they didn't expand upon it. If a great idea didn't take full advantage of its potential, it didn't happen, that's how it is with almost everything, not just gaming.

Actually this + Dance central looks as the only promising games on Kinect I expect them to get 7~8s on GS but the rest of Kinect games probably would get 6s and 5s unless MS is paying GS :P.

Kashiwaba
That's awfully biased (the MS must be paying them part) :P Like I said before, games should be reviewed based on its target audience and genre. For example, if Fitness Evolved is the best fitness game there is, and if it has a lot of different practice modes, it shouldn't get a bad score just because it's not a hardcore game. Same as Kinectamals. While I personally don't find the game appealing, if it really does appeal to its target audience, it shouldn't get a bad score. Like Nintendogs, for example.

Bro, Stop jumping to conclusions. But i don't expect you to know that I am fully enjoying New Vegas on PC, creating a Mod for Neverwinter Nights, playing STALKER, going through KOTOR, played Crackdown 2 and Halo Reach last week on 360, and am also playing vanquish on PS3. Why are you even defending the trash that is Kinect?

That's a good score and is probably some of the few good ones at launch.

im betting there is 2 more with better scores than 7.5 at least

hexashadow13
I expect one AA, one more A, and a whole bunch of Bs.

Dance central will most likely be AAA, and kinect sports being high AA

Why? It's pretty much guitar hero but you have to use your body perfectly. It's both a music and an exercise game, and it's made by harmonix. Don't be so jealous

just saw the review..... seriusly it isnt even close to a 7.5 ,lets see how much gs will rate it.

skanjos
7.5 is surprisingly good. But you have to remember how the games are reviewed. You cant compare for example Gears of War 2 to this. The games are reviewed in their own genre compared to other similar experiences, with casuals in mind.
