We'll be honest, we somehow let the Kinect title Adrenalin Misfits -- known as Crossboard7 outside of North America -- slip by during both E3 and Gamescom. We're not sure how it happened, because the trailers are priceless. They instantly evoke the memories of Wii launch titles, starring incredibly enthusiastic children and families just having a grand old time.
The "crossboarding" game offers several modes of play, including both single-player and multiplayer races and minigames. It also features unlockable boards and the ability to play as either an in-game character or your Xbox 360 Avatar. Also, if you can believe it, YOU are the controller.
In Adrenalin Misfits, gamers become crossboard-riding monsters that compete with enemy monsters in seven different lands from all around the world including snowy mountains, triple cascades, stormy deserts, limestone caves, glacier lands, hollow caves and volcanoes. With the motion capture technology of Kinect for Xbox 360, players will feel like they are actually riding a crossboard. Players will perfect their own unique boarding technique as they use only their body to produce real tricks, sliding and gliding in the air and on land just like the pros. With no controllers required, crossboarders can play as in-game monsters, original Avatars or their favorite Xbox 360 Avatar.
