Comment on Kinect by Microsoft Keeps You Entertained Hands Free

Comments

For dissenting opinions, check out Ars Technica's [1] and Engadget's [2] reviews. Both are less enthusiastic, with Ars complaining that the lack of buttons (compared to the Wiimote or Sony's Move) greatly limits gameplay potential.

They bring up the point that you need quite a lot of room for the device to work, you need 2,5m of clear space between the TV and the sofa for two players. And if you don't have that much, don't buy the thing because it won't work well for you.
