I don't think Kinect Star Wars should get terrible reviews. At least not for dancing, lol. I'm sure most will see it as what it is, a collection of mini-games with a slightly more common theme than, say, Pixar's Rush.

Curious to see how star wars kinect will review. Expectations may be higher for some reviewers then others

Kinect Star Wars intrigues me, simply for the concept of putting on my Jedi robe and performing the on-rails sections of Jedi powers and Lightsabers.

Then I realise that Kinect won't recognise me in a Jedi robe, and that sooner or later the game will make me 'Rampage like a Rancour' and 'Dance for my life for Jabba the Hutt'

Still, it is launching at £27 at Asda, and I get paid on Friday :P

I don't like kinect and this is an example of exactly why I don't like it. It seems like it is taking good series and games like Star Wars and dumbing them down for little kids, old people, and other non-gamer type. I can see it already Kinect dance with all your favorite Halo, Gears, and COD characters also upcoming DLC now with barbies. But the R2-D2 xbox looks fucking awesome and I want that to be my next NTSC box but if I look on the bright side I guess I can Gamefly some of the easy completion kinect games but I will feel a little guilty for encouraging these abominations.

DMC collection for me, the first DMC proberly on of my favourite games ever made cant wait to blast through it in HD. Kinect star wars has looked absolutly awful since it was first announced but i guess you never no but i'm thinking it got delayed last winter for a reason

Only one game in North America? Don't think I've ever seen that before!! Can't wait for us to get the Devil May Cry Collection though, great games (and finally a collection that includes the first game laugh)

I'll probably Gamestop Rent Kinect Star Wars... can't imagine it would be an absolutely horrible game, with the exception of dancing.
