Activision’s Xbox 360 (*needs Kinect Sensor!) Wipeout!!
Based on the ABC hit show Wipeout and continuing the tradition of wickedly entertaining family fun, Wipeout 2 offers updated, outrageous course designs across all platforms with obstacles and effects taken straight from the show’s summer and winter seasons. Players must navigate around snow, ice, foam, and fan-favorite obstacles like the Sucker Punch Wall and Big Balls; which are making their triumphant returns alongside more than 50 others. Extended gameplay on all systems encourages even more interaction and participation with family and friends. Once again, all the wild and crazy action is narrated by the show’s hosts John Anderson and John Henson.
This is a crazy-great game for the entire family!
(Now I just need to buy a Kinect device! Anyone out there in the Kinect universe reading this? I can’t PLAY what I don’t have the equipment for– and I would be happy to borrow & send back the equipment!)
