Kinect Star Wars trailer is exactly what you'd think
23
Remember when you used to play Star Wars with your friends in the schoolyard, pretending to choke people with your mind? Well Star Wars Kinect doesn't quite allow for that (at least that we've seen), but it does allow for some bit of arm waving verisimilitude. See how silly you'll look, just after the break.

"You are the Force"
all be it, a little laggy, but the force be you.

I'm a huge Star Wars fan and normally anything with the Star Wars name is an instant buy for me. However, these point and shoot Kinect games don't do it for me at all. Surely a developer must've thought about letting the player hold an Xbox 360 controller along with Kinect to navigate their character with. I know it'd be slightly awkward to hold but it'd make a world of difference. Sadly, I fear Microsoft is too proud to abandon their "you are the controller" motto.

I wish they remade Star Wars Episode I: Racer. I played that game for years.

I love Star Wars but this isn't doing it for me.

FFS just someone please do an HD (3D?) remake of Star Wars Trilogy Arcade already! I don't even care if it's motion-controller enabled or not at this point.

no... just.. NO
not to troll, but this should be done in PS Move instead.. gyroscope + accelerometer combo is a lot better than gestures...

While everyone else is throwing out classic Star Wars games to see the light again, I humbly ask for a modernized Yoda Stories.
You know, for one of the most loved characters, EVAR!!1!!1!, they sure treat Yoda like shit with game recognition.

Why do the actors have to look so damn cheesy?

I thought this kid, who was the one who played it at the MS press conference too, does a better job of looking like he is actually having fun. Much better than the "This is...so fun" kid for Disneyland Kinect.

Can you really mix up so many play styles into one game and still make it good?
Also, its Star Wars, there's a whole universe to explore. Surely there are more places than Bespin and Tatooine to set a game?
This looks like it will be a rubbish cash-in. Come on Lucasarts give us an X-Wing game we can play on XBLA!

I just want a good space flight game again be it starwars or whatever. I can't remember the last truly good spaceflight combat game.
This isn't going to be it though. :(

This looks terrible, not to troll but motion controlled Star Wars would probably be better in Move.
Sorry but it's true.
