This is not your parents Twister Game! Twister Mania for the Kinect takes the idea behind the game of Twister and brings it to the Kinect in a fun frenzy of a party game.
The two boys absolutely love it, they love the way the competition is setup and they love trying to fit into all the shapes. In some aspects some of the games remind me a bit of Hole In The Wall. Others remind you of some sort of block game, where you try and form the shap to get more pots by knocking out the blocks. But the best one of all is the one where you can form your own shape and try and see if your competitior can match it.
That is the one that the boys just went crazy over, trying to come up with new shapes for the other to match. They also lvoed the fact that you were able to play a bunch of different games and try to get the overall highest score to win. Their games have been fun and competative with some very close battles. Break It Down was also a favorite as it really gives you that sense of achievement when you can make those blocks fully disappear by assuming their form. Both my boys have excelled at the game as they do karate, and my one younger son does dance so it has been helping them work on standing in different poses as well. In our play time we did have one glitch where it would not recongnized the boys anymore. I dont know if it was because they are younger and their size or if the game itself just froze up, but it has only happened once to us in our play time. Overall a nice healthy family game that everyone can play and enjoy.
