Utter frustration and anger are two of the emotions Fighters Uncaged conjures up, and what better way to rid them than to throw a load of punches at a guy called El Luchador? Unfortunately, only two of those punches will actually happen and you'll end up with a sore body in the morning regardless. Executing a successful headbutt is also a chore since, according to this, ducking is headbutting.Īnd even then, when you've floored that muscled good-for-nothing, winning isn't even enough! You must best your high score several times to earn 'crowns' that'll let you progress to a bunch of new, cliché drenched fighters! Excitorama!įighters Uncaged has to be the most unresponsive and unimpressive of all the Kinect titles we've played, but, bizarrely, once you've come to terms with the fact the game isn't replicating your real life moves, it's actually fairly fun. Helped by your character's infuriating inner-monologues with all the sincere melodrama of Paul Atreides in Dune, you'll find yourself leaping around the living room just trying to lean backwards to avoid a punch. Each of these opponents has a set of weaknesses regarding which fighting range they're most vulnerable from and you merely have to exploit that. Most of whom probably have day jobs as sales reps which, in a way, justifies rattling their skulls.

So, after you've trained and lost most of your dignity to the worst coach since that TV show Coach, it's time to take on some real opponents! Real evil genuine street bastards wearing leathers and sporting tattoos with delinquent names like Ratface. The effectiveness of the moves is dependant on the range between you and your opponent, so some moves work well at a long range, while others like the headbutt work best at close range.

There are a whole host of moves you'll be privileged to learn and never be able to use in the game from the usual heap of punches, uppercuts, kicks, elbows to stuff like roundhouse kicks, headbutts and special moves in which you have to yell at Kinect like a constipated cavemen to trigger. And if they do, the lag is so awful that by the time your move is replicated on screen you'll have booted the TV across the room.

Which is understandable in a sense, we can't have folk doing roundhouse kicks in their slippers, can we? Yes, why not? Especially when most of the triggers don't work. Your real life moves are just triggers for actions in the game. Your hooded character, looking more like a local DJ, does pretty much nothing you tell him to. The game is so unresponsive, all you do is unleash a flurry of moves in your living room, 5% (approx) of which will make it to the game. But when it comes to actually playing Fighters Uncaged, lifting your left leg can mean a whole manner of moves from a sweep, to a headbutt, to a punch. You see, lifting your left leg does kick.

In which case, Fighters Uncaged is for him!Īfter a gruelling eighty five thousand hours of the most boring training tutorial ever, taking a good thirty minutes to learn how to lift your right leg for a kick and then, also, how to lift your left leg for a kick, you'll realise this compulsory torture has been for nought. Unless that bloodthirsty teenage boy also has a penchant for homoerotic male-bonding disguised as violence. So, it's all fists and legs and headbutts! YEAH! With the hurricane of Wii-esque family orientated titles, maybe this will be the one that breaks out and appeals to older, lonely gamers like us or bloodthirsty teenage boys. Oddly not while taking part in Fighters Uncaged, but afterwards when you realise how much of your time was wasted.Īmong the first batch of games for Kinect is this Ubisoft fighter in which we 'charge head first into the vicious world of illegal street fighting' where guns and blades are inexplicably banned, presumably by some sort of independent streetfighting adjudicator. Nothing quite like exerting our masculinity in the morning, still wearing pyjamas and sporting bed hair wildly throwing punches and angry yelps at a TV.
