However, I'm still quite excited by the announcement of what appears to be a 'core' game for Kinect - an add-on which, to the best of my knowledge, has no current core games out. But two things stood out, while I watched the gameplay videos. One, that the graphics seemed quite rubbery - a step back for this generation of gaming (though may be explained by Kinect programming taking up a lot of disc space - which sounds worse!). Two, that it appears to be 'on the rails', meaning you don't move yourself, but that it moves your avatar for you. Something I'm not particularly fond of. _________________ I am a Star Wars fan.

Depending how good this game is, I may or may not buy a Kinect so I can play it. Edit: so the E3 demo today showed two Sith in a scene straight out of Empire Strikes Back when Vader appears to Luke on Cloud City in the carbon freezing chamber. Not sure if this means they're throwing canon out the window or what. Plus the gameplay looks heavily scripted. I'm not sure how much freedom you get in the levels. _________________

Having not seen it, I can't really comment. However, that sounds like a scene that'll be utilized in co-op, so it might still be keeping in-canon. _________________ I am a Star Wars fan.

True to the Star Wars you know and love, stunning visuals transport you into the Star Wars Universe, complete with iconic characters, vehicles, ships, droids and much more. Use the Force. Drawing on iconic moments from the motion pictures, Kinect Star Wars allows you to enter the Star Wars Universe to experience a wide variety of physical play. Customize your training. Experience the breadth of the Star Wars Universe as you wield a lightsaber and train to be a Jedi master, become a champion Pod racer, master the Force, pilot iconic ships and Speeder Bikes, and much more. Join forces. Share the Force with friends through co-op, competitive and duel modes. Easy jump in and out lets a second player join in instantly on the Jedi action. _________________ Observation: Life would be cooler if everyone spoke like HK-47.
