    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.

    Despite the high price it's a funny little game to play! You can pick it up any time and play it with a friend, something that wasn't possible in the original Fruit Ninja game.

    If you're looking for a fun, spaz-tastic diversion or ultra-simple party game, look no further.

    There's no denying that Fruit Ninja Kinect is great fun when played alone or with friends, and makes excellent use of the Kinect hardware, but it's also a little overpriced when compared with the iPhone offering. You get slightly more content, but I can't help but think you're paying for a beefed up mini-game. Still, if you own Kinect Fruit Ninja is one of the best experiences available for it.

    The Kinect controls actually work quite fine, but there's just not enough content here for the price and it gets repetitive too soon.

The only complaint I have isIf you love Fruit Ninja on your phone, then just wait till you play it on the Kinect! This game is great! The only complaint I have is navigating the menu, its almost too sensitive, so you'll chop an option or game mode you didn't want. Scrolling through the leader boards or "Sensei's Swag" is also a little tricky to get used to. Other than that, it is excellent! Fun for every age! The multiplayer is very fun, team play is definitely my favorite mode. A great buy in my opinion, I highly recommend it… Expand

It's great if you're kinda tired, as you don't haveI loved Fruit Ninja Kinect on my iPhone, so I thought it would be a great fit on the 360. It's great if you're kinda tired, as you don't have as much kicking & jumping like most Kinect games, it's primarily swinging your arms in chopping motions. The biggest downside I've found to this is that when The Gunstringer comes out, you get this free--so if you wait a few months for it to come out, you'll have this to go with it!… Expand
