Kinect Sports may have been little more than a tech demo for the fledgling Kinect hardware, but I’ll be damned if it wasn’t an enjoyable tech demo. It was the stuff of family gathering legends: A game which allowed you to interact with sporting events in a somewhat limited way, using rudimentary, instantly familiar gestures. It wasn’t the most intricate or intellectual use of the device’s motion-tracking capabilities, but for a launch title, it worked.
If anything, Kinect Sports: Season Two is an exquisite example of how far the Kinect’s software has come over the past year — only, not in a good way. After a few hours of mock-football, mock-baseball or, perplexingly, mock-darts, I was left with the overwhelming feeling that the Kinect can be (and has been) used for so much more.
