The perfect Kinect game for children, making them feel like little explorers in an unknown island. Our only complaint is the absence of a multiplayer mode for two people playing at the same time, allowing for parents and children to enjoy the game together.
Let's be clear : Kinectimals won't be able to capture an adult's attention for long, but let's not forget that it's not made for them. But it's easy to pick up and follow, beautiful, and unbeatable when it comes to making a child smile : yes, the magic works. There may be some latency, and indeed sometimes Kinect seems to react in an odd fashion, but the overall experience remains solid. Touching, even. Probably the most immersive and moving pet game to date.

This game is obviously meant for children, so this review will be based on that assumption. The game is easy to get into, has beautiful and colourfull graphics and steals your heart within seconds. There is enough variation to not get bored, but you can also just do the same thing over and over. The game never pressures you to follow a certain path and if the tasks are a bit too difficult then your animal will help you get through it. The game is great and perfect for kids, but I (50 years old) find it enjoyable too.

With around 20 hours of gameplay, Kinectimals offers plenty to do. You can play with your cub, shop for new items, decorate your house with trinkets found on your adventure, complete challenges, have friends join in to beat your high scores, and more. If you're looking for a rich gameplay experience jam packed with adorable creatures, look no further.
Easily the most substantial of the early titles and one that is sure to enthral young players as well as the young at heart.
Kinectimals is a great experience for every child with an Xbox 360, but a more mature audience will notice some gameplay problems. Every pet is as cute and beautiful as the gorgeous landscape but the difficulty of some of the mini-games, due to some hardware problems, ruins the final experience.
Of all the Kinect launch titles, this is perhaps the one with the most actual substance. Hopefully it's but a hint of things to come.
There's more mileage in a Tamagotchi, and one of them would never ask you to shame yourself by acting out "play dead" on the living room floor.

I'm 19 and I love this game. I get more exercise out of playing this than I have going to a gym. It also gives you a wide variety of mini-games to choose from so you don't get bored. The only complaint I would have is that during some of the contests it seemed the sensor couldn't figure out where my hand was. This might be an issue with the kinect itself though, or with my technique, rather than the actual game. As for kids, it's good because it uses a lot of energy and has a lot of different games to keep them entertained. We had a kid over last night and he was having a blast. You might want to keep an eye on them though, you don't need to use a lot of large, exaggerated movements for the kinect to pick them up, and you don't want the kids kicking in the TV or hurting themselves because they're throwing themselves around too much.

A simply wonderful game for younger children. And surprisingly, even kids between 10-13 were entertained. Good graphics and **** a great use of the Kinect technology.

It's best to just see how cute these animals can be. Not worth much of the fun, but if you think about it... it might work off as just a plain Xbox supporter to get money.
