Powerup Heroes Demo Review

Hi everyone!

Earlier this holiday, Yannick and I downloaded a lot of demos for Xbox Kinect, and I wanted to share a game that we really enjoyed: Powerup Heroes.

Powerup Heroes is a Kinect fighting game by Ubisoft. By moving and holding a certain pose, you can attack your opponent. Every suit has different powers and you need to hold different poses to do the special attacks.

The suits. Each one has different powers.

 Unlike a lot of Kinect games, the movements are detected quite quickly and the gameplay just "flows". (Apparently, for some people it doesn't work that well, but for us it did...)

We haven't tried the full game yet, but there is a (local and online) multiplayer mode I'd love to try out. However, 50 dollar seems a bit too much for a game like this. It looks cool but it's not really "high-end". Like a lot of Kinect games, it should have a bit more polishing. Maybe when it costs less, I'd buy it. For now: try out the demo and decide for yourself! ;)
