Key Game Features

• Use your body as the game piece in this unique Kinect exclusive title that challenges you to twist yourself in thousands of different ways - even the menus react to your body.

4.0 out of 5 stars Puts a new Twist on TWISTER December 22, 2011

By P. Fandrey

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Here's a game that I had no idea what to expect when we put it in the machine. Twist your body into shapes to fit through the shadows. It's a lot like the on screen popular Television show the kids love called Hole in the Wall! the Image appears on the screen you shape your body how you need to fit the shape and if you do it right you gain points. You blast through walls, tons of shapes you almost never get the same one twice, you have to move quickly and your always doing something new.

Up to 8 people can join in the fun but its just as much fun for 1. My daughter is 11 and loves to play this with her friends.

Jump, Squat, lean, Move your body to fit the shapes. Your constantly moving. Great way to get kids off the couch and having fun.

The initial set up is bit slow to react (this may be our yr old system) but once's you get the game started it's a whole lot of fun.(product was provided for review. thoughts are 100% honest and all my own.)

4.0 out of 5 stars New Twist on Twister November 8, 2011

By a0188279

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

I recall playing twister in college, but this is a new take on the game entirely. My kids loved it, it has an element of exercise and it's the best when there's a silly mood at the party. The absolute best for kids who are interested in the Dance games but aren't quite old enough or coordinated enough. We have had a good time with ours. Recommended for winter indoors to shake off the blues.
