Video: Kinect Star Wars UK Trailer
Okay, I guess it's not the best indication of a game's potential when the takeaway from the trailer is that the dad is kind of hot. That said, my time playing a demo of Kinect Star Wars at E3 2011 was a surprising amount of fun. The lightsaber was maybe a little loose controlwise, but using the force powers was actually kind of enjoyable. I'm not crazy to see that there's podracing in the game, because A) I didn't like it in the movie and B) racing games with Kinect controls are awkward. However, the idea of playing as a Rancor is kind of awesome. I guess we'll see when it comes out on April 3.
(And oh my God, how amazing is that limited edition R2D2 Xbox and Kinect? Do want!)






Concerning the Xbox, I talked to some staff at a popular gaming store, and heard that Lucas had C3PO and R2D2 brought in to replicate the Xbox and controller paint schemes and color to match identical. Thought was a pretty cool FYI!
Almost makes me wanna go get an XBOX and Kinect XD
