Customer Reviews
Very good and fun game By Geekmie
Great for playing with your friends and family. I had a lot of fun with this game. I believe you will be happy playing it too.

Fun, easy to start By JB (CA, USA)
All games are above the Wii technologies and Kinect really tracks movements better. Track & field is fun, but running in place is always a bit weird. Bowling is a blast. All other sports are fun, but can get a bit boring if played too often. Too easy to reach the accomplishments and next levels. Good game for kids, not so much for adults.

Fun Game for the Family By Book Worm (USA)
This game is definitely fun for the whole family. It's a game I can play with my niece (6 yrs old) or also alone to get a little bit of a workout. It's not as intense as some of the dance games but it's also something different, sports! Of the sports options, Soccer was by far the most enjoyable. Prepare to get a decent workout from Soccer because you are your entire team.

You will pass/kick to another team member and then again you'll have the ball. When the other team gets the ball, be prepared to block as the goalie. It's a good game, entertaining and you have to get off your couch to play. I rated it four stars. I would have rather seen real tennis as opposed to table tennis in the kinect sports game.

Fun for all ages By Patricia Smith
Ordered this to keep my grand-kids busy for the summer. They got lots of laughs and plenty of exercise in the process. In the heat, you cannot beat this game for keeping the kids inside and still provide lots of entertainment. If you want laughter and a good workout to boot, this is it.

Great Family Fun By P. B. Terry (Turlock, CA USA)
This is one of the family favorites right now in our house. The game play is super-fun and has enough challenge to play against the computer at 4 or 5 skill levels, or against other members of the family. No major critism, game menus are intuitive and once you know how to play each of the sports, you can turn off the tutorials and even skip the entry cinematics.

If you are looking for a light work-out that is fun you can warm up with bowling, move to table-tennis, then boxing, then soccer, then beach volleyball, and finish up with track and field. It will get your heart going and before you know it an hour has passed and you've had a decent session of exercise...It has challenging and fun achievements (some are actually funny). Very high replayabilty.

Only a couple of very small comments or room for improvement. 1. if you are switching the main player, you have to leave the stadium (I haven't seen any short-cut to this). This is not really a pain, just takes a few more actions that would be necessary otherwise. 2. The sports commentator has a limited number of things that are programmed to say (though they do seem to track what the player is doing -- example if a bowler is ahead the commentator makes note of it....)

As this game gets a lot of play at our house, we mock the commentators...With the recent release of Kinect Sports Season 2, the price point for the first season is perfect and a very high 5-star recommendation!

Awesome By Lucky Maria (Baltimore, MD)
I bought a pile of games when I bought my Xbox and this is the one I keep coming back to. Easy to understand, good response to the kinect and loads of fun. Easily the best game for kinect.

Fun + Exercise = This game By Nick
Excellent way of having fun with the family and doing some exercise. You won't believe how much exercise you end up doing !!! The interface is very good, and even with the tennis table you sweat. Buy it !!! you won't regret it.

Sports game By Swim swam swum
This is a lot of fun. My 7 year old loves it but it is too complicated for my 5 year old. Minimal action required, but my son seems to exaggerate his moves and works up a good boost to his heart rate.
