    The motion recognition works well, the levels based on five of Pixar's iconic feature films look great and playing with your personalized character is a sure hit with the younger players. Unfortunately with merely 15 short levels the adventure falls a bit on the short side, although the hunt for the highscore might draw you back into the park.

    One of the best attempts at a kids game for Kinect yet, with lots of variety, excellent use of the Pixar license and wonderful graphics.

    A more than decent game, but without much innovation. It is a great game for kids, although it has some problems in the control, and achieves to transmit the visual spectacle of the original movies, although we miss some more different gameplay elements.

    Kinect Rush is a good game with an high production value and some very good ideas on how to use Kinect in funny new ways. But with only five tiny different worlds to explore and so little to discover, the happiness of being there, in the magic land of Pixar, ends too soon.

    This one's not for the adults but rather a great title for the kids. Our test subjects couldn't leave this one alone, and why should I force them? They're getting a good excercise whilst having fun, and as a parent I can't really ask for much more.

    It's not surprising, nor particularly large. Kinect Rush is a game where 5 rather funny Pixar universes exist to be traversed and explored with an avatar like us. It is pretty much like the movies, but little else.

    A great game to play with a friend or sibling, and it's as easy as walking in and out of the camera's view. But what the game excels at is that it harnesses the charm, personality, and high-quality visuals that the property is known for.

    One of the best Kinect games so far and also one of the most successful Pixar tie-ins. Kids will love it and it'd take a seriously cynical adult not to feel the same way.

    Just enough sheen to make it a must-play for very small Pixar-heads; pity about the rest of us. [June 2012, p.78]

    Kinect Rush is a game developed for kids only, it is too short and not entertaining for an adult audience.

    Thanks to lots of good ideas that make it an interesting title, Kinect Rush : A Disney Pixar Adventure becomes one of the funniest games compatible with the Kinect, especially if you like the Disney universe.

    Kinect Rush certainly lives up to its title, but only for the first hour or so. After that, the rush wears off and the grind sets in. That wide-open field turns out to be not so wide and not so open after all.

    The game does a great job in conveying the feeling of being inside the world of Pixar, but it offers little narrative coherence and the gameplay is boring, which will gradually lose its interest.

    Kinect Rush does a good job of capturing the Pixar atmosphere, and is sure to give kids plenty of exercise as they complete the game's mission set. However, the control issues make for an frustrating experience at best and a broken one at worst.

    Not really a sterling representation of the Disney-Pixar alliance, but Kinect Rush will keep kids happy for a while – as long as they have the patience to put up with frustrating movement and handling. With a few tweaks this could have been a much smoother experience, but as it is there is just too little fun and too much effort involved.

    The graphics are very good in parts of the scenarios of the animations, outside it, in the Park, the game resembles the Kinect Adventures Disneyland ones; in the animations scenarios to each "set" you are transformed into one of the characters (eg: Ratatouille you are a mouse), and the actions are based in mini-games.

    The sounds and music are very well done, as in the animations in question.

    The gameplay, obviously aims at the target public, and is simple: you use the trunk to turn, and moves his arms to run (also the legs to go faster). And for each phase can be some variation of it - I do not know if it was only here (or if the problem is me, since the game would be for children), but the controls to run it is not very accurate...

    Well, to resume: a game oriented towards children, and that allows more than one player, which makes it ideal for those who like to play with their children, especially those who love the animations of Pixar (and which child do not like them?) - specifically for these cases recommended, my score is 7.5 / 10.0.    … Full Review »

    I think that the game is good, with some mistakes, but is good, have 5 amazing movies, in that you can revive the scenes of the films. One ofI think that the game is good, with some mistakes, but is good, have 5 amazing movies, in that you can revive the scenes of the films. One of the problems is the simple gameplay, yes is addictive, but is simple. The graphics are amazing, music, sound. The control is good, but don't be the better answer. Kinect Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure is a great title for kids, and yeah is better than Disneyland Adventures. But I believe that in the next game can be better.… Full Review »
