Kinect: Michael Phelps - Push the Limit

This has to be the most stupid game i have ever played.. you stand in the middle of your room, and swing your arms about like a lunatic.. ok. should've known that because it's a swimming game, but there isn't enough to keep you going.. your doing the same thing over and over and over and over....etc... you get my point.. Just save yourself the time of putting this back into the post box by NOT RENTING this game.. The makers should be ashamed of themselves..!

Ho hum, it's hard to be disappointed by something you're not expecting much from. I'm not sure who out there is looking for an exceptional swimming simulator, and the Kinect seems an ideal platform for this, but if you are one for the niche appeal, wait for something a least a tad more polished to come out.

Push The Limit does like us to know its done its homework at times. The fact that you have to participate in races using different kinds of strokes is intirgrated fairly well, so it's not all front crawling. Problem is, everything else is so unambitious.

Although you'll be flicking through different over-hyped ways of non-drowning, the Kinect is not brilliant at picking up what pace you're going at. Seeing as PTL is essentially a slightly better looking 'Track and Field' with a gameplay backbone built on timing, this can lead to infuriatingly unfair losses. Even when things are going smoothly, the constant flailing needed to progress soon dulls, and the monotonous career doesn't help that fact.

Unless there's permanently something suspicious floating in it, donning your trunks and heading to your local pool is by far a better way to dislocate your shoulders through rigorous exercise and is more importantly more fun. I mean, at least they'll have a slide there.

Congratulations to all who have rated this 1 out of 10, given that the game isn't out for 2 months, and NOBODY has played it outside of the development team.

5 from me, just to balance it out.
