***IMPORTANT: The Kinect sensor is Required to play this game***
3 … 2 … 1 … Go! “Kinect Joy Ride,” the first controller-free racing game, will take you and your friends on the ride of your lives — no driver's license required. “Kinect Joy Ride” combines wild kart racing excitement with the effortless fun of full-body gaming possible only with Kinect for Xbox 360. “Kinect Joy Ride” reinvents driving and kart racing by adding massive jumps and full-body stunts to the classic kart racing action. With a host of cool features and game modes you can find your inner Andretti by going solo, pick up a co-pilot, or team up with your friends and family to take on the world. “Kinect Joy Ride” takes the thrilling driving experience off the track and into your living room as you bend, twist and move your body to hug the curves, jump through obstacles and show off your acrobatic skills — when you get your whole body into it, you are the car!
This game feels like it should still be the free download it was originally intended as, there's not a lot of content. I try to be as patient as possible with Kinect games but this game does a lot of things poorly. The menus are tiresome(having to go to the main menu after each race with no "Next Race" option) and it feels difficult to maintain accurate control of the car when your hands are just floating there. This game just makes you miss your controller, there's better Kinect titles out.
