Rise of Nightmares for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

First off, most Kinect games are childish, stupid games that no teen my age should have fun playing, but Rise of Nightmares makes Kinect a little more enjoyable.

So basically we got our hero Josh who has a little of a drinking problem, which in every good horror story you know causes marriage problems with his wife. His wife leaves him be on the train, then you try to catch up to her so you can say you're sorry, when randomly an undead giant steals her and makes your train crash. After that you struggle to survive with a group of misfits you meet on the train. You get to the graveyard of this mansion, and start fighting some zombies.

Yeah, great story right? No. Now story wise this game kinda sucks, but gameplay is pretty smooth for a Kinect title. Now the walking system can be pretty glitchy, but the people over at Sega said, "hey, the kinect is kinda bad so let's put an auto walk so they don't have to deal with the glitches." And they did.

Combat is kinda slow reactions, but the zombies are pretty easy to mash down, so its no problem.

For a mature, not kid gamer. Not a great title, but not terrible. Just... eh

Kinect is a new controller and the start of a new gaming generation. That being said, it has glitches. This is the first rated M game for Kinect, and a good one at that, as long as you don't compare to a joystick game, like Gears 3.

Pros
Fun, scary, and thrilling
Awesome movement sensing
Game play is excellent, I love cutting both of their arms off and watch the arm stubs swing at me
Puzzling at times

Cons
Some glitches, to be expected
Takes a while to get used to
A self-learning experience for controls

Overall, a new gaming generation, and a great start. Minor glitches, and a fun and scary gaming experience. I can't wait until games like COD can be played by sitting down and pulling an invisible trigger.
