Kinect Adventures

Kinect Adventures was the fourth game Microsoft demoed for Kinect (Project Natal) at their E3 2010 press conference. It is a combination of Ricochet (the famous ball deflecting brick breaking game), River Rush, and some other “adventures” that involve collecting white tokens with the letter A on them by holding your body in the right shape.

This video features the same woman who demonstrated Ricochet last year, demonstrating the River Rush part of Kinect Adventures.

It turns out, Ricochet is actually multiplayer. Here’s a gameplay video of Kinect Adventures:

This is the original version of Ricochet seen last year:

We’ve seen Ricochet videos from this year with a white token with a letter A on it, and now we know why. It’s been fitted into another game. I’m guessing that means Ricochet won’t be included for free with the Kinect hardware, despite Ricochet having been synonymous with Project Natal for the past year. It’s more likely Kinect Sports will be bundled with Kinect.
