Gameplay

The new Season 2 hits the same gaemplay as the previous Kinect Sports game, it takes six sports and It's all one to one actions, for example throw to throw a ball. It worked well last year, why not fit it into this edition. It also was one of the few successful games for the Kinect near launch day. For this second season, the selections of kinect sports on offer feels more of a wider selection, and there's a better variety of events that require energising jogging and arm tensing throwing and games that require patience, finesse and skill. It is alot less active than last year's which allows you to play the game alot more. Most of the sports on the disc are well done. Darts is a personal favourite, it puts you into a scenario of a darts championship showing live from ESPN. American football and baseball game modes complete the package in an energetic bid to win over US audiences and football and darts for the UK. Xbox Avatars jump around and do silly things in the background and the crowd make outbursts of cheer when you lift up your arms to grasp the sporting moment.

Graphics

I thought the graphics in this game were superb, I didn't really expect BF3 reality but for the outcome I was so surprised. The crowd is sometimes duplicated but I don't really mind that or there could just be plenty of twins in the audience. It has a clean colorful look bursting with brightness, with Avatar support and some nice flair to them.

Controls

Herp derp, it's a Kinect game! you control the game with yourself, swinging arms and legs it is really active and fun for the family as it isn't always physically challenging. The glint on the avatars are really nice, but one downside with Kinect body parts can be flying everywhere! But overall I actually like the graphics for these games and hope to see a third!
