Kinect 2.0 Detailed

Much of the excitement surrounding the new Xbox can be directly attributed to the next-gen Kinect sensor. Building off what the original Kinect started this takes NUI (natural user interaction) to the next level.

Kinect has been improved so much it's almost unfair to compare with the original incarnation. In this article let's go over what we know.

Released last week, Burnout Crash! might not immediately have jumped out as a must-have Kinect title. But alongside a solid and well received single player campaign, its Kinect-exclusive multiplayer mode is certainly a reason to check the game out.

With two teams totalling up to 14 players, Burnout Crash! is certainly a game well suited to parties. Leaving the thumb twirling, leaderboard climbing single player behind opens the doors to the bizarre and fun Kinect Party Play mode which has you trying to out-destruct your opponents by matching a variety of crazy gestures.

Criterion Games have today announced that they're bringing their acclaimed Burnout franchise to Xbox Live Arcade with Kinect support in the next installment, Burnout CRASH! CRASH! takes the fan-favourite crash mode and brings it to the forefront with a new top-down art-style.

The game rewards players for causing the greatest mayhem and damage via a car crash. Using Autolo, players can compete, connect and compare scores as well as feature in new competative Autolog challenges.

“Burnout CRASH! is a crazy mix of pinball and game shows,” said Richard Franke, Creative Director of Burnout CRASH!

“We’ve evolved the core gameplay which everyone loved about Crash Mode, and expanded the whole experience using music, style and Autolog to create what we feel is the most mindless fun you can have on any gaming platform.”

The game will also feature a game mode designed exclusively for Kinect in which two teams use gestural controls to play on one television in a party battle.

Burnout CRASH! launches this fall for Xbox Live Arcade. We'll be sure to keep you up to date with the latest!
