Best Kinect games

You want the best Kinect games, but don’t want the hassle of wading through all 19 launch titles to find out which is hot and which is not? No problem: we’ve got the best Kinect games so far rounded up in our Top 5 list to the right of this full post.

Cast your eyes over to the right – or scroll down below – and you’ll see our Top best Kinect games shortlist. These are the titles that we feel really show off the true power of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 peripheral, and more importantly, are simply a blast to play, either solo or with friends.

As ever, you can find out more about each of the best Kinect games with a simple tap of the Read More button, while popping the Buy It icon will take you straight through to Amazon to pick it up for yourself. And because we keep the list bang up to date, you can always be assured that these are the grade A picks worth spending your money on at any time.

1. Dance Central

Remember how dance games actually used to make you just dance on some buttons on a mat, and you’d spend your whole tim concentrating on just that? Yeah, Kinect means you can actually just dance. Phenomenal.

2. Kinect Sports

Rare has a long history of cranking out hilarious games, and Kinect Sports is no less hysterical. Great fun sports, great fun multiplayer and essential for every Kinect owner.

3. Kinectimals

Do you have a child? Do you have an Xbox 360? Then you must buy them Kinectimals, and play it yourself secretly. Insanely adorable.

4. Your Shape: Fitness Evolved

Wii Fit without the stupid balance board = win.

5. Dance Paradise

With no easy instructions to guide you in, it’s harder than Dance Central, but accomplished booty shakers will love it nonetheless.

      Hi GirlGames2 – I'm not quite clear what you mean. They're our favourite games so far – do you want more about each of them in this here post rather than just in the individual reviews?

    Great top 5. Ive played the demo of Dance Central that came with Kinect Adventures and it is just so much fun!

    • bensillis

      Glad you like it! Have you tried Kinect Sports yet?

      • Kevinl343

        Kinect Sports is a blast!

  • Schatzepage

    Kevin, We are experienced Swinng Dancers, do I pick Dance Central, Dance3 Masters, or Dance paradise? We also like classic jazz – so is there a musical choice or is it all basically hip hop?

      Maybe Zumba fitness will fulfill your needs…

    I really wish Dance Central has had more songs like Guitar hero or something. I only like a few songs in it.
