Review: Fruit Ninja Kinect

Howdy folks!

In all honesty, I haven't been this addicted to game since Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Fruit Ninja Kinect, the game originally on the Ipod and Iphone (I might have messed that up, seeing as I've never owned either) has made the leap to the 360. While it has already become the top downloaded arcade title in its first week of release (52'000 on the 4th day), this game has already made such an impression.

While the graphics are still standard, there's a certain charm and realism to them. Maybe due to the different colouring and shades to the fruit, but its still too early to tell. Audio is also standard, but used well with the game. What is also a great plus is the choice of customisation. From your background, to your swords, to your very own shadow!
Challenges are just as such, challenges, but in doing so, you unlock achievements, swords, and other unlockables, as well as your score going up against the rest of the world. In less than 4 days, I am currently coming 300th out of fifty one thousand people for Zen Mode! You could be the next to achieve even better.

For those thinking about the achievements, they do not come for those who work hardest. In fact, they come for those who wait. Patience is the key to getting these achievements. For example: Triple Stack requires you to slice the 3 special banana's all at once. So far, that has happened once. Enter The Dragon requires you to hit the rare fruit. From what I've discovered, it comes around about the time you achieve at slicing 1'000 fruit. It comes randomly so keep an eye out!

The game does have co-op, but the game does have some kinks. The game gets confused slightly when shadows are crossed, even more so when blades are. What is also a dissapointment is the lack of online multiplayer. While there are still some rare Kinect games that has online multiplayer, it was a shame to discover this game does not.

But either way, Fruit Ninja Kinect is an addictive, enjoyable game. For any gamer wishing to act like a ninja, this is truly your moment. Channeling your old karate lessons as a kid helps too.

Out of 10, I gave Fruit Ninja Kinect an 9/10

Good points: EXTREMELY addictive
                    Fun mini work out
                    Fruit facts are interesting

Bad points:   Co-op still has few bugs
                    Lack of Online Multiplayer
                    .....future DLC?
