Unless Kinect is significantly more sophisticated than I've read (think Star-Trek-esque holodeck sophisticated) I do not see this working well at all.

Actually, flailing you arms about like a swimmer should be easy for kineckkt to understand...I just don't know how it will simulate getting stoned at a frat party.

it must be really bad if they don't show any in game footage on how to play, i think i agree with the first post is it april fools day early this year. In this case a month late
I wonder if they will do the same deal with Dj hero, if you don't like it aka can't play it 100% refund but then again how much money was wasted on this project. lol

It's such a shame that an Olympian of this caliber is supporting this bullshit of a video game. Swimming for real even in a kiddy pool will always be more fun and productive than whatever this thing offers. I hope its a stupid joke.

Your right is is a little surprising but remember Microsoft has lots of money and well he is now classed as a "sell out" just like everyone else. I think gave development rights sell more then swimming in a pool.

I'm sure he wasn't too expensive; very few companies will have anything to do with him...he may be an great athlete, but he is also a pothead and a gangster wanna-be.
