Fruit Ninja Kinect 2
Games That Will Make You Miss the Kinect
The sequel to the Xbox adaptation of a mobile game best-seller improved the IP significantly. Keeping the formula the same — slice fruits, don’t think too much (not that you have a lot of time for that), put up with a lack of precision — it featured new modes, a campaign, and a more motivating progression system. The Festival added more twitches to the standard blade rampage of Fruit Ninja, putting a specific focus into each four of its “chapters,” like having to dispose of falling bamboo seeds that, should you miss these, grow into fully developed sticks that need to be cut down.
The co-op was more varied too, inviting more people to play and compete in other ways than just the number of fruits chopped. There are downright annoying issues in multiplayer (like mixing up players or ignoring the exit command), but it is still a nice way to let your boiling hatred towards fruits take over whether you are a lone ninja or if you’re playing with a slice-up buddy.
