Accurate controls, great atmosphere, feels like a horror film

User Rating: 9 | Rise of Nightmares X360
By Theousroka | Review Date:
Unlike most Kinect games, the motion control for the most part are on point. The combat gets repetitive but the variety and gore of the weapons available keeps killing monsters fresh and entertaining. Opening doors and checking corpses haven't been this fun since the days of Resident Evil 1, the creep factor of this game is pretty high, its like walking through a Rob Zombie film knowing that there's something wicked behind that corner.

The movement system has a small learning curve but once you master it its really not that difficult. Slow subtle movements is always better than rushing into it. But when you have a armored zombie with a chainsaw for an arm trying to eat you, sometimes you cant help but panic. If you get stuck there is an auto move feature that helps you along the way, but you are still obliged to fight your own battles and solve your own puzzles.

In a nut shell as Kinect games go this is definitely one of the better ones out there, with some more polish Kinect can be a true force for gamers

    The concept of a B-movie, a piece of entertainment so bad it's actually kind of good, has been difficult to replicate in video games. Past attempts such as Swery's Deadly Premonition have nailed the cheesy atmosphere and... Read Full Review
