as the last reviewer has mentioned this is all about coin collecting and posing. Coin collecting in this game for me is fun, and so is the posing (I thought Wipeout for the Kinect botched up posing big time).

There are 6 sports, 1 of them is broken, 2 of them are just plain awesome, 2 are good, and of course there is rock climbing which is just okay.

The 2 best minigames: Mountain Biking and Kitesurfing. If you only played these 2 sports, you'd definitely think that this is one of the strongest titles for the Kinect. I personally think this game should have always been a budget title, just focusing on these 2 minigames. They are really, really fun and addicting!

The broken mini-game: Kayaking. Are you serious? What are you supposed to do? The Kayaking mini-game didn't respond to my moves at all. Overall HORRIBLE!

2 good mini-games: Skiing The skiing is a lot of fun, and better than, or as good as the Skiing in Kinect Sports 2. Controls work well. You lean your body, crouch after a jump, and use your invisible skis, imitating as if you really were using skis to gain control and speed. Wingsuit diving is fun as well, and requires a lot of leaning as well, but requires you squat down to fly and grab the coins at the lower parts of the screen.

Controls for the 2 best minigames (mountain biking and kitesurfing): The controls are tight, and the gameplay is a lot of fun. The courses are fun, and require you jump at the end of the ramps to get air and posing for Adrenaline points. The Kitesurfing allows you to grind on rails (which you must jump to get to), which I think added a nice extra touch. You can hold your arms up in the air to substitute for jumping on the mountain biking.

Why continue playing this title? It's nice to get the outfits for all of the characters and especially the Adrenaline suits which gives you extra super abilities, and the online challenges.

Is it worth the lower price of $29.99? YES! (remember prices do vary)

edit: March 17, 2012 I can honestly say I've played this game more than any other Kinect title, and agree with the 5 star ratings. there are downfalls which are the other minigames, but kitesurfing and mountain biking are still games I play every day. Hopefully, Ubisoft can create a game with just these two. BTW, the DLC is awesome as well.

We bought the original Wii, one of the things I love most is that there are hundreds of family safe/multi-player games. The lack of which I truly hate about X-box (mostly "M" rated games and only multi-player if each player is playing from their own console).

I bought this on a whim for my 10 year old son-he loves Shawn White/ X games stuff. While this game IS a product driven game through and through (not sure if it's Axe or Old Spice) the games themselves are awesome-from mountain biking to rock-climbing to batwing flying or skydiving. For the price, there's a lot of variety in activities. The graphics are just okay, but the Kinect response level in this game is incredible (a lot of Kinect games are so "off" in movement registration that it takes the fun out of the game play entirely).

This game is simply terrific. Can navigate almost all games decently. Graphics are excellent. All sports are fun to play, we all will probably gravitate to ones we prefer more. Skiing, kite surfing, and mountain biking are a blast. Windsuit diving and kayaking are decent. mountain climbing so far has been very difficult.

Since kayaking is somewhat similar to that in kinect adventures, I decided to compare the two. Kayaking in adventures is probably better because more course are available and controls are a bit easier than ones here, but you will probably get more workout with the kayaking here.

Its shame can't compete against computer (race against computer). Wish there were more tracks for each event.

I find this game to give a pretty intense workout particularly kite surfing and skiing with all the jumping involved. Adrenaline party allows you to partake in 10 events. If you do this, you will have put in a good day working out. Really break quite a sweat going through all of them.

certainly will get money's worth in long run. after having this for over a month, I find myself surprised at how little hype this game has gotten.

Honest reviews on Motionsports: Adrenaline - Xbox 360

Kinect controls work nicely with Kite Surfing, Mountain Biking, Skiing and Kayaking. Each are visually appealing, fun to play, and great exercise. Wingsuit Diving is tougher to control, maybe just me, but seems impossible to dive low when you want to. Rock Climbing barely works. Keeps track of your high score for each sport, which is nice. (You don't have to go on-line to find it.) Overall, a nice addition to the Kinect collection.
