    Re: a good reason NOT to get excited by Kinect...

    Is it dumbing down games?
    or bringing games inline with a dumbed down control system?

    So other than the fact its rubbish and nowhere near as good as we were lead to belive in all the pre release advert video's the games make up what you are doing?

    That is fantastic.

    I guess it must have been so hard to control the car properly using kinect properly that they decided to cheat so the game did what you thought it should irrespective of what you're actually doing.

    If you watch the video again (as lame as it is) you can see on the second lap the "AI" controls the car in the exact same way it did the first track
