The Wreckateer - review

Xbox 360 (with Kinect), 800 MS Points / £ 6.80, 7 + cert, Microsoft Game Studios / Iron Galaxy

The main argument against the idea that the public Xbox 360 hard drive is required for Kinect games - at least in this generation of consoles - is the lack of precise control it offers. Kinect is, in short, scaly, and finally absolute anathema key players that require strict controls and deadly accuracy in games that are willing to invest in it

Iron Galaxy Wreckateer

doing its best to avoid this problem, the game Kinect weaknesses. It is basically a shooting game in which firing harm should not catastrophic for the player because they can control their shot, to a certain extent, once you've been fired. It is also impossible to determine the impact of a ball in the goal in the beginning, but we will return in a moment.

Wreckateer pitch is pretty easy to get your head around: in essence, it's Angry Birds in 3D. But instead to take a variety of small birds green pigs in wooden structures and concrete tables, players draw a selection of projectiles of a crossbow elves in green castles. The objective is to minimize a building rubble as possible while hitting the target unknown floating on the road.

The controls are fairly simple, the players before reaching your avatar catches the firing mechanism of the crossbow, and then, when prompted, to make a step forward in a passing avatar semi-circle on the ground. Then sit back and watch as your avatar is removed from the ballista.

The level of detail provided in each shot is impressive, the player can measure the trajectory of each shot inches, pushing a little to the left or right, or bending and straightening. Once the player is satisfied with the way they have aligned your shot, pull, lift arms so they are perpendicular to the body.

once the vaccine is in the air, the camera switches to a third person perspective, allowing the player to influence the direction of the missile. There are a variety of shells available, including bog standard stones, rocks divided into four small stones, rocks and stones explosive speed when activated during the flight. Hit the air in front of them, players can convince a few missiles left and right or up or down. Enable all the special abilities of your rock is raising both arms.

There is a bullet in the arsenal of the game that allows the player to control more flight: flight shooting. Once you've set up, players can raise their arms to bring a pair of wings to open, and then can guide the flight shot with a greater degree of control and finesse duck and weave his body . This allows them to test the vaccine against fly through the openings, the objectives and packages of explosives that are scattered around the buildings targets.

• Players have three types of medals to aim at each level: gold, silver and bronze. As expected, winning a gold medal in the early stages of the game is an absolute breeze, but the difficulty ramps up Wreckateer as time passes. It soon became clear that the rewards set of points based on the player's ability to hit certain targets or detonate explosives packages above to cause maximum damage to targets.

Although it seems simple enough, it is actually quite difficult to achieve and it is totally a lack of control modules offer Kinect. Wreckateer increases in difficulty, players will find their efforts to score a gold medal continually frustrated by the misinterpretation of its Kinect motion. Success, then begins to rely on a combination of time and chance, and the most difficult stages of the game, this can lead to some very frustrating (and a lot of swearing).

This lack of precision makes Wreckateer not unique among Kinect titles - or the requirement that before you buy, the players need to make sure you have enough space in your room to crouch and weave their arms outstretched. In all fairness, Wreckateer is easily one of the best titles created for Kinect module, but not enough to overcome the weaknesses you have.
