Fruit Ninja Kinect 2

SCORE: 82

Fruit Ninja Kinect was a wonderful game on the Xbox 360 that got millions of gamers off the couch and active. Not only did it help the image of the gamer, it helped the image of the entire video game industry. It is now my pleasure to play and review Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 on the Xbox One. The controls have been improved, and there are a few cool new features.

Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 shows its app roots in terms of completing tasks to level up. We also earn in game currency for slicing and dicing a variety of different fruit. That currency can be used to buy all kinds of additional content. Things like different swords, backgrounds, shadows and more. Once you start unlocking content in Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 you will want to collect it all.

The modes in Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 are Quick Play, Multiplayer, Festival, Swag, Leaderboards and Settings. Quickplay contains Arcade, Classic, and Zen. Multiplayer (for two family members) contains Battle and Party. Festival contains Katsuro's Ninja Dodge, Mari's Strawberry Stealth, Nobu's Bamboo Strike, and Han's Apple Range. Swag is where you unlock content. Leaderboards, and Settings should speak for themselves.

If you want to pause the game, then you martial arts bow toward the Kinect sensor. This worked most of the time. There were points where we could not get it to work. There were other times it came up when I was trying to dodge those spot lights. The overwhelming majority of the time the Kinect sensor worked marvelously with Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 on the Xbox One.

At the end of the day I like Fruit Ninja Kinect 2. I like the exercise elements, and innovations this downloadable only home console video game brings to the industry. Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 keeps family members on their toes and moving around. You can lose weight thanks to playing Fruit Ninja Kinect 2. Which equates to a healthier and happier you. Who doesn't want that?
