Product reviews...
Now I will be honest here and say I did not play test this one myself, what I did do however was to get my 10yo to give it a whirl and then asked me to give his thoughts on the game which I would then sum up below. I thought it would be a good challenge as one of his dreams for when he grows up is to be a Video Game Tester.... Ahhh if only that was a career option when I was younger.
Right enough of that, on with the review.... You start out on the main street of DisneyLand, and there are various things to interact with here, there are some of the Disney characters, such as Mickey, Minnie and Goofy, you can talk with the characters either by using body and hand movements, or by using voice commands which are picked up quite clearly by the Kinects in-built microphone.
As well as interacting with the characters they will also give you mini quests to perform. In place of the various rides you have a whole heap of mini-games such as, flying around London like Peter Pan, or fly through space or shoot water at a hiipo's mouth. All these are really fun and make you really want to go to the real DisneyLand.
There is a bit of a trouble with the movements as sometimes it doesn't seem to see what you are doing with your hands and body, and it's hard to get things in the right place sometimes when you need to, but that still doesn't make me not want to play it.
