Home Run Stars Dated on XBLA

Can your avatar go yard?

Written by osubluejacket on 19 October 12 at 18:57

On the heels of my beloved Detroit Tigers slamming their way into the World Series last night, it's only fitting that the upcoming Home Run Stars received its release date and some screenshots today.

As the screens (courtesy of PlayXBLA) show, Home Run Stars will give your avatar a chance to crush some pitching in three unique stadiums with different targets and challenges.

Home Run Stars will be available on October 26th. Pricing has not yet been revealed.

I'll definitely be checking this out. People love to hate on Kinect but how much have they even played it...really? Give it a chance and you might find that it is really fun to play and great exercise for your body. I loved the homerun derby in Wii Sports so I'm looking forward to this! I hope the achievements aren't annoying though.

My first thought was whether or not this would get released in Australia seeing as we didn't get the other baseball games here on XBLA.
Then I started reading the comment and saw it's for Kinect. So seeing as I don't own one of those I guess now it doesn't matter :'( Too bad :(
I like what I like and I don't what I don't.

I hope the achievements aren't annoying though.I have always associated my exercise with going outside, not flailing in front of a TV monitor. But maybe the weather is always bad where you live.

I have demoed Kinect multiple times at parties and had fun but I never considered purchasing the hardware for myself.

To each their own... what isn't for everyone isn't for me alone. That's what makes the world what it is. It is only my opinionated disappointment that I got excited for a true baseball arcade game with avatars like Joy Ride Turbo did for racing. Turns out this only a minigame where I wave arms.
