Kinect Star Wars delayed

One of the most anticpated Kinect titles on the horizon

One of the most anticpated Kinect titles on the horizon for Xbox 360 owners was Kinect Star Wars. As originally planned, the game will not be making its debut this holiday season. Microsoft recently told The Official Xbox Magazine that the game has been pushed into 2012 in order for the game to reach its "full potential".

What this means for you is no Kinect Star Wars action this year, and the sweet R2-D2 console has been delayed as well. With a lot of high quality titles coming this season, Kinect Star Wars definitely could have been lost among the sea of titles, especially when you take into consideration that early previews of the game have levied some criticisms on the game.

No official date has been given, but expect more information from Microsoft in due time.

Gotta chime in here. saw this artical the other day and it perfectly describes what Star Wars Kinect is:
Paragraph from the artical with link:
“Lightsaber lag, clumsy motion controls, below par graphics and the limitations of scripted on-rails levels were a sad indication that Kinect Star Wars isn’t really working yet. It felt awkward to use, but most importantly it didn’t make me feel like a Jedi”

Seriously, Move can do sword fighting games right now, with the colored ball on the end it’s even more like a light saber.

  Well, I actually agree with Allen, the little troll that he is, Star Wars Kinect is the dumbest fucking idea ever. They made that shit instead of working on what people have been wanting since the 360 was released.
  Star Wars: Battlefront III
  Get to it LucasArts.

  Thumbed u up even though you called me a troll.
  But riddle me this. Is it really trolling if you are only pointing out facts? I think not.
  It’s not rude if it’s true.

  sony really did take the safe path while microsoft took the risky way in motion control. both did pay off though… BTW star wars kinect is a dumb idea anyway even though i got a ps3 and a xbox. It could be much better in move. Each has pros and cons

  I did like Republic Commandos, they could really expand on that. Still Star Wars Battlefront 2 is my all time favorite Star Wars game.
  Taking out over 100 enemies (bots) when you get the leader bonus. Attacking a starship with a fighter or bomber. Landing on enemy space craft, destroying targets from within. It’s all about tactical stratagy and all out Jedi/Sith bad ass fighting.
