Despite a few hiccups with the tracking and an unorthodox handling of the vehicles, Joyride is a solid racing game at heart.
This motion-controlled racer is fun, but it'd undoubtedly be better if you could play it with a regular controller.

Has some issues, but I love it. It's basically just a port of the game Joyride Turbo, which isn't a bad thing! It has more modes, more options, more cars, basically its an improved port in every sense of the word! The only issue is the slight delay, other than that, I LOVE IT.

A funny game spoiled by the controls: the software is not polished enoguh to let Kinect catch all of your movements, resulting in a sometimes frustrating experience.
There are some brief moments of fun in Kinect Joy Ride, but most of the time you'll be too busy fighting the loose controls to really enjoy it. Making matters worse, the game would be an absolute pushover if you played it with a traditional analog stick and buttons. With shallow gameplay and just a handful of tracks, it certainly doesn't justify the $50 price tag.
Whilst Kinect Joyride does offer some fun moments, the fact you never really feel in control this is' very short lived…probably just like the game will be in your collection.
The overall feel of the game is just not engaging – there's no sense of speed, there's no sense of control, and there's no sense of variety.
Kinect Joy Ride is typically the game that would have won everything to be playable with a traditional controller. Playing it with your body is a real stress, as it is completely approximative and capricious. Even with all your patience and goodwill, it's a failure you have to quickly forget!
Let’s just say my first time playing caused some not-so-great memories with me and my family. It was so hard to control, and the steering was absolute crap. What I enjoyed most about this game, however, were the customizable vehicles and playing with my brother years later. If I was playing this today, I would have given up a while ago.

The problem here is one fo concept. It is a bit stupid to try and drive a car standing up and holding nothing in yor hands. Aside of that there are control issues and the game is more suitable for little kids. The racing genre needs a different approach to blossom with Kinect.
