    It's a perfect time waster that doesn't take much in the way of set-up to get into, and the Kinect functionality is really spot on.

    Halfbrick Studios has a runaway hit on their hands here, as my aching arms will attest to. While having an exuberant amount of fruit slashing fun, you are for sure getting a work out here. Have a care not to overdo, because you just get carried away by the silliness and fruit juice splashing fun.

    Any way you peel it, Fruit Ninja Kinect is a bare bones game about swinging your arms at flying produce. If you're too proud to see the stupid amusement in doing as much, you will hate it. For those of us wanting a bit of silly, mostly mindless fun, it's a refreshing new way to work up a sweat and look like an idiot.

    Fruit Ninja Kinect hardly contains any news, apart from a hefty price tag. Unfortunately, it's not as fun playing it with Kinect as on a smartphone, and the original version on mobile devices is far superior.

  1. Bought this for my sons, ages 9 and 3, and they absolutely love this game. $10 may have been a little high on the asking price, but seeing how much fun they are having doing their "karate" its been well worth it. Expand
  2. A great game if you are training your kid to be a ninja. I used to be an ordinary sensai that had problems training my padawans, but now with this new "Fruit Ninja Kinect" they have became men. I endorse this product; fight on, fruit ninjas! Expand
  3. Its actually a rather generic game. Its not bad, Its actually quite enjoyable. But all you literally do is just wave your arms to chop the fruit, It gets boring after a while. Especially when it lacks other modes as well. Expand
  4. This is the right idea, Kinect Arcade games. But this is not the way to do it. Ten dollars for a crap mini game you'll tire of within minutes. Not a great way to start off Kinect on the arcade. Expand
