Good for a laugh
Recreational gamer guy

Got Wipeout and got home to play with my 6 year old and wife. We all signed in and we played through an episode. WOW! Lots of fun and laughs. Even replays funny shots/hits to the avatar.Second game, new level. Hmmm. I'm signed in but wife and son have to register again even though we picked play again. Haha, the replays are funny but a lot.Thrid game, new level. Wife didn't want to play but son had to reregister again. Really?!! Man the replays are a lot and getting on my nervers. Found in options you can turn off. That's better.Overall it's good family fun and is a party game. I've played through all the levels and think a few things are missing.1 - Would like to set funny hits/replays to be after an episode or calibrate to not be as much. It's all or nothing.2 - Would like the replay level option to keep everyone registered and allow you to remove players as needed.3 - Would like a build your own course scenario.4 - Camara angles for some obstacles (side view for big balls to behind for spinning obstacles) switch without warning. Tends to cause a wipeout till you learn a level and motions. Guess that's the game being Wipeout ;) But it was the one thing that made the wife dizzy. Camaras switching up obstacle to obstacle quickly.5 - After replays it takes a second to know you're back in game and the clock is running.Wait till price drops to around $25-$30. My 6 year old is almost done with all the levels and he's only played the game 3 times.***********************************************Read some reviews of the game not tracking, not stopping, having to jump for avatar to jump or this game is a workout. Tracking issues can be fixed by lighting. Know the avatar commands is simply playing the tutorial; arms out to stop, arms out and jump up to climb... etc is not that hard to learn. You need to jump to get the avatar to jump. Not sure how to respond to that expect, yeah. As for this game being a work out or getting the heart going. I suggest Your Shape Fitness for a month then pop this game in and then you'll blow through all the levels in this game within two days.The Kinict games we have I'm comparing to; Kinictamals, Fantatic Pets, Your Shape Fitness and Dance Central. This game is not on par with these games when it comes to timing. Kinictamals maybe. Even though this game came out after these games don't expect the same on key reponse. Seems to be minor lag but the game I feel gives you time to recorrect if you are erring. But that's the fun of Wipeout. You're supposed to wipeout. That is till you learn the level and camra switch ups.Had friends over who played and had to stop cause the camra angles were too much. Read more ›

Wipeout Baby
Lori Holman

As a owner of the Wii edition, I am glad they finally put it on Kinect, it was soo worth the wait. I like being interactive in the game; with the bonus of a workout. It looks easy on TV but you have no idea until you are actually running the course. Plus it was only $35 at Toys R Us :)Just like with most games you have to unlock additional courses, this game also has a practice and multi-player. Good family fun, it did not disappoint. Of course I wiped out several times.

Fun..with a few glitches

Overall, Wipeout for the XBox 360 is a lot of fun. The only downside is that the Kinect doesn't always register your movements correctly, especially when compared to the accuracy of other games.

Kinect can't handle
R. Esq

Ive tried everything and we just cannot get our kinect to read our actions accurately with this game only. It makes it frustrating and we all lost interest. I would not recommend this game to anyone.

Don't forget to Wipe....out!
N. C. Hill

First of all I want you the reader to know that i like the show "Wipeout", it's similiar to MXC which i love, so i'm not a wipeout hater. This game however is a pile of dook, let me tell you why. The whole idea of kinect is to make the player feel immersed in the game, YOU are the controller etc. I played this game with a 7 year and he was getting so frustrated with the delayed unresponsive controls. At first i thought he was having a tough time because he was a youngster, but then i tried and immediately understood his frustration, the controls and delay are unacceptable. There is a good one second delay between your movements and the character actually moving onscreen. Now, in a game where your timing is crucial, this is a HUGE problem. You have to jump a good second before your obstacle to enjoy any success.My other major gripe with this game, the controls, really bring my piss to a boil. Kinect is supposed to track your movements and make you feel like your that little cartoon character. So when im physically running along and i suddenly physically stop, why does the game character keep moving forward? Oh i remember, because i didn't put my hand out like im directing traffic to get my little avatar to stop.... I mean i could maybe learn to deal with a one second delay, but when i have to motion to the camera with my hands to stop my legs onscreen i have to draw the line. It totally takes you out of the experience, you remember you are playing a crappy TV tie-in game. Why did they make it this way? Did they think it would be fun to learn all the different ways they want you to move? Why didn't they just code it to track your actual movements, that seems logical to me. Anyway, im getting "In the Zone" and sending this one back to Amazon for a trade-in to try and cut my losses before more time passes and this turd loses more value. GO WIPEOUT!!!

Fun, but a bit frustrating
Coco's Mom

Our boys really like this game. The only downside is that it is not quite quick enough to sense/respond to the players movements at times. Fortunately there is a way to skip past sections of the course if you get stuck. All-in-all they enjoy this game, and it's active which is always a plus.

Cool
Jen

I bought this mainly because my son loves the TV show so much. I've played it, and it seems pretty hard to accomplish the activities until you get used to what you need to do, but it's still fun all the same. I'm cool with it.

lag time
missfrit

WE had a lot of difficulty getting this game to work correctly. The lag time was huge for the kinect. We have several Kinect games and this is the first we have had this kind of trouble with.
