Red Stripe Deal: Kinectimals

kinectimals01

Anytime a hot title comes up on a Red Strip Deal, I like to pass along a grab rating for those that are worthy. Kinectimals is one of those worthy ones, as long as you have a device that plays nicely with it. What I mean by that, is that it was really designed early on in the Xbox family, so you Lumia 1520/1320 owners may not want to blow a buck on this if you are going to worry about it being perfect.

That said, for anyone with the Xbox 360 version of this game, you know how it works. You raise a cub by taking care of it, playing with it and just having a blast with it. The advantage of the Windows Phone version over the Xbox version is that it goes with you everywhere.

Game play is fun and keeps you entertained, but you really need to keep in mind that this was designed for kids to play on the Xbox 360. It’s not supposed to keep your interest for more than 10 minutes at a time. If you keep that in mind, you will have a pretty good time playing with your cub. The mobile version of the game is also a key to unlocking five new animals on the console version. If you are trying to finish the game on the Xbox 360, it’s one of the only ways to do it.

I’d give this one a 4 out of 5 stars, mainly due to a few bugs here and there, but overall it’s quite an accomplishment. The Microsoft Studios team did a great job porting this over and the $.99 price tag is quite a steal for it. The Red Strip Deal should be good through this week, so grab it now if you want it.
