Kinectimals Details and Screenshots
Jun 15 2010, 8:00am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr
Kinectimals was one of the most impressive demos of Kinect for Xbox 360 yesterday at the Microsoft E3 2010 media event. The Kinectimals cubs are too cute to watch. You can see screenshots of Kinectimals in the gallery of this story.
Kinectimals invites children, their parents and animal lovers of all ages to build lasting friendships with some of the world's most exotic creatures. Just like real pets, your Kinectimals will come running when they hear your voice, respond to commands such as “jump,” “roll over” and “play dead,” and purr with joy when you scratch them behind their ears.
Kinectimals is available for pre-order on Amazon for $59.99. You need to own Kinect of course to play this game.
Kintectimals Details:
• Get in touch with your wild side. Your journey begins when you adopt and
name one of 20 playful friends, including a lion, cheetah and Bengal tiger.
• Create memories that last a lifetime. From the first time she recognizes her
name to when she learns to fetch, your cub will grow up as your sidekick, eager
to discover the island around you. She will always be ready for a scratch and a
belly rub with smiles and purrs.
• The fun never ends. There are new ways to train tricks such as fetch, play
activities such as jump rope, and even master agility courses with hops, stops
and balancing acts. Invite a friend with his or her pet for some fun contests.
• Discover, collect and customize. “Kinectimals” rewards those who are curious
about the island they live on. Travel far and wide to discover treasures and
toys, and find and unlock new environments. You can customize your pet and
decorate your home, plus use the in-game store to shop for items to nurture and
care for your new best friend.
• Grow your “Kinectimals” family. Collectible, limited-edition plush toys will
be available online and at popular retail stores. Choose your new friend, scan
the code with the Kinect sensor, then watch it come to life on the screen right
before your eyes. With your very own plush pal you can keep your new friend with
you even when you’re away from your Xbox 360.
Kinectimals is one of the 15 launch titles for Kinect. Kinect will be available on November 4th.
See also the Kinectimals page on the Xbox site. There is also a game video trailer for Kinectimals available that you can download to your Xbox 360.
E3 2010 will start on June 15th and we will be at the show to bring your first hand coverage of the hottest new gaming gear. We expect to see and go hands on with the Nintendo 3DS, Playstation Move and Kinect for Xbox 360.
