Just arrived, but seems pretty buggy in the interface. All the other games have no problems showing the “hand cursor” so you know where your are in relationship to the buttons to press. This game seems to have them about half the time. The other half, there’s a button, and moving your arm around with no guidance on the screen, it’s a hit and miss trying to orient exactly where the system thinks your hand is so you can guess which way to move it to hit the button.
Happens every time we play.
Game controls are more of a pain than anything else as well, and this is by far the least responsive Kinect game of all the ones I’ve got so far.
Doing the skiing is pretty impossible, as it just can’t seem to correctly see my movements nor my sons. So frustration ensues and the game gets put away in favor of the ones that play well.
The kendo game seemed like it would be pretty cool, but that’s another with not great body movements for control, and another instance where you can do things and the character just sits there on screen, no input being taken in by the system.
It could be a decent game, but they’re going to have to put out some patches first to make it actually playable before it becomes enjoyable.

My kids and I were really excited about this game. We choose to wait for it instead of kinect sports.
But when we got it home today — first thing we noticed — it was a battle to select Next or Back.
In all the other games, that I have played the sensor has been quick and responsive. In this one it works sometimes then stops.
The game play: This should have been a great area with as many games as there are, but it freezes like your controller is broken stuck to the left — of course this is only sometimes — other times it works great.
Multilayer becomes even more frustrating — one of the players controls could work fine and the others not or both work fine or both mess up.
More frustrating yet is the movements to play the game. You can’t be sure which is the correct way to move because the same movement doesn’t always work.
And the absolutely worst part of this game, is the tutorial. Here, let me explain 10 moves one at a time. You will have to click next after each one. Good you remember all of those Now we will have you practice the first one — what you forgot that one ok back up and go through the entire instruction screen again.
I can’t recommend this game — I expected it to be great — and all I can say is don’t make my mistake — Stay away from this one — get it next year for $5 dollars used if you must try it.
I don’t even see how patches can fix it. It would be clunky even if it worked great.

I agree with every other poster – it is that bad. Glitchy, impossible to navigate the menus, can’t hit the buttons, extremely short game play then loads of animations, doesn’t track your movements correctly.
Sorry, Deca – this sucks.
