Yup that's only a start and only showcased a few movements for the Avatars.  You could make your Avatars bump, make their eyes go round and round when you make their heads go round and round, you could press LB  for random expressions, and I was watch Inside Xbox Major's Minute for Avatars and he made his Avatars arm go straight out.  This is just the beginning of a revolution.

not bad. But really... Avatar and Miis are nothing special. I do have to admit I prefer miis though. They're more customizable on the face, so you can get it to look like you easier, or in fact just go and make some nifty Darth Vader, Luigi, Peach, and other famous icon look-alikes.

But really I'm not too into either of them, yet I prefer Miis. They actually fit in the Wii's style the Avatars just look... out of place to me.

After months - years - of them calling Mii's a gimmick, saying Home was crap, etc, Lemmings expressing any excitement over this stupid, gimmicky feature appearing on XBOX (yes, they were right - it is a gimmick) is pure hypocrisy.

When your creating them, I think you press the Left Bump. He has glasses on em' because he will make his eyes go crazy too. It was still tight.

The bad thing about Avatars is that you can make only one for each account. Hopefully they will change that, and add more customization options.

You can click the Right Stick to burp, click the Left Bumper to make random expressions, and LT and RT to turn your Avatar around, and also if you turn the Right Stick around fast your Avatars eyes will go in circles. You can do all these expression on the customization section where you see the Change My Features, Change My Clothes, etc section.

No, avatars takes a decent idea from home and removes all the fluff and convoultuion. The thing that makes home stupid is the virtual interface for doing everything. The interface using avatars is pretty much the same as it was before them....you're not walking from your virtual apartment to a virtual arcade and walking up to a virtual GeOW2 machine to get in an online game of GeOW2.

When I got the DL, I instantly though to myself....they had to cut it a bit short knowing how many users would be downloading it. I think they will be adding alot to it.

I got all systems and i still like avatar better then home and mii the only thing mii does better is it has more custome face feature

Its only a matter of time before MS adds more custom features for creating avatars....

you make Marcus fenix character with COG outfit and some animation to top it off

now thats why avatar > Mii and will be even more in the coming future

So is that 360's new media player and was the mii automatically lip syncing the song or was he making the mouth move? If its the former, I must say thats actually pretty cool.

I have made a John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Ralph Nader, Solid Snake (don't ask how I pulled that off), George W. Bush, and Captain Falcon Mii. Can you make such ridiculous creations on the 360? I THINK NOT.

Wow, you listed a bunch of games instead of stick to the topic. Nice job. And if you think having your Mii as an icon for your saved game file in SMG counts as your Mii being in there, I lol.

I fail to understand why people care about this stuff. And you know they're gonna release outfit packs and all that crap. Which they will charge you for. And for what? Watching your assy looking character standing around on the dashboard looking like a douchey plastic doll? And the blatant "cuteness" they've pooped all over it makes me wanna vomit.

I do not see how your Mii can be used in Super Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime 3 other than the big icon for your save game files. Yes, it can be used in the Wii games and Mario Kart, but they are used to little or no effect in SMG.

the miis have no proper body proportions, no actually pieces of clothing, no hands, and no feet, and no controllable realistic expressions. They just have spheres for hands, only black pants, only a long-sleeve shirt whith changable colours. All the females wear dresses, and the males only wear pants (sexist?) The avatars even have accesory stuff like earings, watches, and gloves...ands thats only the beginning. So really...the avatars are copies but they did a 10 times better job with them than nintendo did with miis. sorry to say but they are not shameless, they are better

Have fun playing Scene It and similarly exciting titles then. Until they do something with avatars that I find interesting I will continue thinking they're stupid. Maybe it will eventually shape into something more substantial, but currently it's a crap looking character standing around on my dashboard for no reason other than to be annoying and appealing to non-gamers with its blatant commercialism.
