Fighters Uncaged for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

When you think of fighting you think of scrapping on the play yard, full blown swings and wild antics. Well this game delivers wild antics and no full blown swinging. Kinect is suppose to give you the range of motion and have your on-screen persona mimic what is going on. This is not what happens and rarely do your movements get translated on-screen.

First of all your punches and kicks may as well be like pressing a button because you are only triggering a predetermined animation from the on-screen character. It does not move with you or perform the moves in an animation that flows through you like Dance Central or any of the other Kinect Games. The best way I can say is that this game moves as if you were playing a clumsy robot on screen.

So we all know that you are not going to do kick flips and space is limited, but a Kinect fighting game should feel like you are fighting. If you moved your arm up in any fashion you would still throw a punch. Can't get your leg off the ground? Twitching your muscle will cause the fighter to kick. This is just a controller fighting game without movement.

Where and when will we get a game where the fighter and the player are one. The moves you perform outside the game are the ones your fighter performs in the game? Training in this game should feel like you are taking some form of Martial Arts.

If you are looking for a fun experience that only kinda uses the Kinect technology then pick this up. It's fun for a bit and it is super short. If you want some hard core fighting I would suggest waiting for a real fighting game or head on down to your local YMCA and pick up a few Taekwondo classes.
