Kinect Star Wars: Light saber fan's dream

Kinect Star Wars is a light saber fan's dream title. Using Microsoft's Kinect camera, which translates your motions into on-screen activity, you start with training against floating droids shooting red rays. Eventually you can challenge Darth Vader himself. It's a good upper-body workout, and you get the signature hum of the famous movie weapon.

Pod racing, though, really gets the blood flowing. Using your outstretched arms, you guide your hovering vehicle through a rocky, barren landscape. The racing controls are fairly intuitive, which is essential because there's no steering wheel to hold in your hands. Racing as San Maxus, a devil-horned dude with red skin, we were able to earn enough alien cred to upgrade our pod with turbo speed.

There's also "Rancor Rampage," which lets you take control of a huge, destructive beast. Or if you're in a more peaceful mood, "Galactic Dance Off" lets you bust some moves while Jabba the Hutt looks on. If you're a fan of Harmonix's Dance Central for Kinect, you'll feel right at home.
