Another TV show coming to Kinect

Back in May, the German USK ratings board leaked Hole In The Wall as a game published by Microsoft that would possibly be arriving on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Microsoft has now seized the opportunity at E3 to confirm that the title is indeed coming to XBLA as a Kinect game.

Hole In The Wall is based on the hit TV show that sees contestants trying to contort their bodies to fit through differently shaped walls that are hurtling towards them on a conveyor belt. If they fail to make it through the wall, they get pushed into the pool of water behind them. The video game will do exactly this, only you get to watch your avatar get wet if you fail (although you could always get a friend or family member to chuck a bucket of water at you for the full authentic experience).

Players can work their way through different "show" levels in both single and multiplayer modes for up to four friends or family members. There will also be a "survival" mode that sees players survive wall after wall for as long as possible. Avatar awards such as a silver spandex suit, helmets, and a t-shirt are also included in the game.

This will be alot of fun before it gets too repetative. I can already imagine the drinking games that will come of this.

Extra thanks to the newshounds!! I like the good news and complaining about the bad news. A win-win.

Reminds me of a joke photoshop I saw of this game show the other day.
It was a new game show called "Gloryhole in the Wall", I'd watch that over this show any day.

And play that game over this one too. xD

It actually sounds pretty fun as long as it's like the actual game show where the shapes get crazy, and they have team ones. Could be even better if you could use the Kinect to take a snapshot that creates a custom shape, too.

They have interesting imaginations.

This could be funny with a group of drunk friends. Saw the actual game show that had this, though you won't be getting pushed in to a puddle of water. But the fun is still there!
You seem a little furious...

This actually sounds kind of fun and I want to see more arcade games that use kinect so I might pick this up if it is priced at 800. Anything over that and I will have to wait for a DOTW.

This game will probably be better than the show.... But that's not saying much. (Well, at least for that terrible Cartoon Network version.)
