Games
In this game, there are 5 Game Modes, Which are Rally Ball, 20,000 Leaks, Reflex Ridge, Space Pop, River Rush.

20,000 Leaks : 20k Leaks sort of fun but I was confused when I was playing it. It was getting me a little frustrated since your in this chamber type of thing and you have to clear up some cracks as the Waves increase. For me, I play in my Bedroom with Kinect and it is not that easy. As you go up to the 3rd Wave (3 Waves in Total) it get's a bit harder and Confusing since you have to use your Head and Feet to cover up some Cracks and that crap get's pretty Annoying. I mean, it could be fun but having to cover up a lot of Wholes in a Chamber, it's not the most Exciting thing ever.

Rally Ball : This may be one of the first Game modes you play (Well, it was my First) and it was fun. It was actually what got me playing some more (Even though once I kept on going, it got a little more boring) but you hit this Dodgeball type of thing and you destroy these Boxes (It's much more funner than it sounds). There are these Boxes that make it so you get Additional Dodge Balls which increase your chances at destroying all the Boxes and that's when you could just do random things (Like I did) to destroy all the Boxes. I'd just move Random Parts of my Body hoping it would hit one of the Dodge Balls and Destroy some or at least one of the Boxes before the time runs out. I'm not if that's how you play, if there are rules, but that's how I play. Just do random things with your arms and legs, and get rid of those Boxes! ;)

River Rush : This Game was actually quite fun, since your in this Boat and you have to Collect some of those Adventure Coins or Hit these Pins. You could Jump or just move left or right, You Automatically go Forward but you only Jump if the Coins are in the Air or something unless you like Jumping then I see why not just go ahead and do it? When you play this Game I suggest you have a good amount of Space. Not the amount of Space they have on a Kinect Commercial because no one really has that amount of space. I had decent amount of space to play, and the Distance isn't to to bad, it actually isn't bad at all since it's not like you have to move backwards or anything, the boat moves forward by its-self, so, bottom line : It's a Fun Game Mode! (=

Reflex Ridge : Reflex is probably the most "Active" Game out of the 5 Game Modes on this Disc since you do some weird Exercises, they aren't really even Exercises, you just move left, right, you Jump sometimes, and there are these "beam" things where you have to Duck unless you want your dude's head to get hit. As said with the first game, it's not the most funnest game, but it's alright. You being somewhat Active, which is good right? (Yes, maybe?) =)
Not much space is required, it's pretty much default since you stand in place unless you want to actually move to lean left or right when your on the coaster type of thing, which wouldn't make much sense at all?

Space Pop : I didn't like this Game very much and probably the least favorite out of all 5 of the Games. You pop these Bubbles, which moving Left, Right, Forward, or Backward and you for some reason Fly. It's pretty weird but I didn't like it so very much because most of the time, Space is limited so it's kind of hard moving forward or backwards making it pretty much impossible to pop the bubbles, and flying it weird. You move your hands up to fly and bring them down to make your dude go back onto the Floor, those Bubbles get pretty confusing to me when they are Forward, and especially when the Sensor sense that your To close to the Sensor and brings up the little dialogue box, it get's pretty annoying. But that isn't the case with some people who played the game, even if I did have much more Space to play, It would hardly affect the Rating I'd give it, since it's not that fun in General.

Game Modes
There are 3 Game Modes which is Adventure Mode, Free Play, and Timed.

Adventure Mode : I'm not going to lye, but Adventure mode got really boring to me, just playing through and trying to get the Achievements or Avatar Clothes you get, it's not that fun =/
You should Practice some of the Mini Games, if not all (There are only 5, not to bad) since your going to have to pass them to get through Adventure Mode anyways. It get's Annoying if you loose to, since I got close a couple times and if you get a bad medal. I guess the only good thing about playing Adventure Mode, is when you get an Achievement for your Gamerscore after each Adventure is completed. If you don't play for Achievements, than how about unlocking a new mode to play? If that isn't good you get some clothes for your avatar to wear.

Free Play : It's pretty much Adventure Mode edited. It's good if your bad at the games since you could edit the Gametype and Difficulty making it easier to play! (:
Nothing really special in Free play at all though.

Timed-Play : You unlock these by completing Adventures over in Adventure Mode, it's not the funnest thing ever but it's alright. I guess if your bored it could be fun but if your not bored, then your better off playing Free Play, or Adventure Mode.. Sorry if your a Timed Player Lover but, it's really not that fun. Plus, you could only play 3 of the 5 Game Modes in Timed Play, which are Rally Ball, River Rush, and Reflex Ridge..

Rating! -
6/10

I'd give it a 6/10 because it's not a fun game that very much. Only a couple modes are fun and that's about it. The only reason why I got this Game is because it came with Kinect. If for some reason, your Kinect didn't come with this Game, and your thinking about buying it, unless you have some small Children, you should waste your money unless you've played this at someone else's house and really enjoyed it there.
