Practice making a fruit salad for your next get together in this port of Halfbrick's popular iOS title.
Fruit Ninja Kinect focuses on a slight issue that seems to arise when dealing with making games for the Kinect, physical activity. Certain games just don't quite work when made for the Kinect, with Fruit Ninja providing a casual game that seems like it was made for the Kinect. Although not initially designed for the Kinect (being released originally in early 2010), Fruit Ninja is a simplistic but addictive concept that's right at home on its new system. The general goal of the game is to slice fruit to get a higher score than anyone that happens to be on your friends list. That's really all there is to be found within the game.
Fruit Ninja is host to a number of different modes, all revolving around getting a higher score. The first of which being Classic mode which has the player slicing fruit until they either miss three or hit a single bomb, which ever happens to come first. Zen mode, giving you a simple stress-free, but still timed, environment to slice fruit without fear of hitting an accidental bomb. Arcade mode only gives the player a minute to achieve their final score. To spice this up however there is the addition of three special bananas that, when sliced, will either slow everything down, give you double points, or spew large amounts of fruit from both sides of the screen. There is also two multiplayer modes available which only really amount to a co-op type game style or a competitive style.
