Xbox Kinect Gets Its Fight Club

You love [[link]] to punch your arms through the air, like you’re beating up ghosts. You wish you could be part of a Fight Club. You have an Xbox 360 and may have a Kinect. There is a game for you. The game is called Fighters Uncaged, and it appears to be publisher Ubisoft’s answer to PlayStation Move motion-controlled fighting game The Fight: Lights Out (formerly known as Motion Fighter when we first played it). Both games reject the sunny mood of your average motion-controlled console video game in the interest of letting you shadow-box in grimy places against grimy virtual people. The Ubisoft press release letting [[link]] us know today that this game exists describes a game that lets you use 70 combat moves. Quoting the press release: “Fight using your fists, knees, [[link]] legs, elbows and even your head to take out opponents. Body tracking allows for accurate dodging and blocking of incoming strikes delivering players directly into the game.” The game has a training system and leaderboards but does not appear to have local multiplayer. Maybe Kinect wouldn’t support that. Or maybe it would just be too dangerous.
