Your first act in Kinect Sports Rivals is to kneel in front of the Kinect 2.0, Microsoft's fat, sinister slab of a camera - but it's no act of reverence. It's been eight years since Nintendo released Wii Sports, the game that ushered in a new way to play video games using grand swipes and waggles...

Getting started As with all Xbox One games, there's a period of installation – as parts of the game disk are installed on your hard drive. With all of the games I've owned and played so far, the installation process still allows you access to the game while the disk is installing.

Good sharp graphics; Visually impressive

Below-par motion tracking; Bad range of sports; infuriating gameplay

Kinect Sports Rivals was announced at Microsoft's E3 conference last year. It was originally planned for release alongside the Xbox One however was delayed for further polish. The game is finally coming out and it actually has a basic story.

The game looks incredible; Some genuinely awesome tech; Multiplayer fun

Wonderfully cartoony art style; Avatar creator tool is pretty impressive and quick; Plenty of customisation options; Tons of fun with a group; Controls are simple and easy to pick up

Players with limited room will struggle; 6 games feels too little; Cut scenes get annoying and are unskippable; Some games feel like a chore

I bought this game so that me and my partner could enjoy it at home with Family during the evenings. The variety of games and also the physical exercise involved in the game. It provided many nights of fun with family, exercise when the gym seemed to much effort and also a lot of drunken laughs and...
