Kinect has always been a remarkable piece of technology waiting for the right application. Can legendary UK studio Rare deliver a gaming experience equal to the promise of Microsoft's motion sensing controller? Ben Allan slips into his leotard and takes Kinect Sports Rivals for a spin.

Rock climbing and wake racing control well, and are enjoyable; Colourful presentation.

Soccer and shooting games particularly uninspired; Kinect controls often still too finicky or glitchy.
