Fighter Within Review

By Daniel Bischoff

Show no restraint. Win at all costs.

Punching, kicking, head-butting—these tools allow a fighter to bruise, break, and bloody a willing opponent. I tried those moves in the GR office during Microsoft’s launch of the first Kinect for Xbox 360, but with a willing virtual opponent. I discovered that camera-based brawling, where every punch gets thrown into nothingness and leaves you feeling…

  • Detects movement when you're precise and controlled
  • Forces you to "mash" combos with some crazy difficulty
  • Camera can misread your moves
  • Menus don't work
  • Physical exercise
  • Bad writing and annoying characters
  • Little to no plot or character development
  • Hurts to play
