    This is an amazing game for Xbox One. FRU makes Xbox complete and enjoyable. Kinect Should make more games like this, So that Xbox users can enjoy more.

    Fun puzzle platformer that uses the Kinect to good effect. Fun for both me and my 4yo. To increase difficulty and fun one player can use the controller and the other is the silhouette.

    Pretty much own and/or have played every 360 and Xbox One Kinect game as my achievement list can attest to. This is coming from someone that COMPLETED "Rise Of Nightmares" and owns "NBA Baller Beats"(basically Just Dance with a basketball... seriously).

    FRU is easily in the top 3 of all Kinect games in terms of originality, innovativeness and pure fun - next to The Gunslinger and the original Dance Central. My only gripe is the length. You literally want to keep playing - it's just that much fun. If you get any game for the Kinect, you owe it to yourself to play this one.    … Expand

    One of the worst games I've played on Xbox One. I rather go to the dentist than play another Kinect title. I will stick to the Wii U. Play something differnet

    One of the most unique puzzle platformers I've ever played. Via Kinect, your silhouette is onscreen, revealing a second world. It's up to you to contort your body to solve the puzzles by revealing or concealing obstacles between the two worlds, thereby enabling the onscreen protagonist to traverse the levels. The coolest part, though, is the bonus mode available if you find all theOne of the most unique puzzle platformers I've ever played. Via Kinect, your silhouette is onscreen, revealing a second world.

    Probably the best concept for a Kinect game i ever seen, simply funny and different. Nice work.

    I normally dislike Kinect games, however, FRU is very enjoyable. A surprise hit for me. Incredibly unique and fun. I would recommend this game to anyone that loves puzzle games.

    If Kinect had come out the box with games like FRU, I think the lifespan of the device would have been very different. Genius mechanics, challenging puzzles, and a great art style. This is an excellent multiplayer title for when you have friends over - hand the controller back and forth and take turns helping your friend across a chasm, or get them stuck in a wall accidentally!

    Fru is the first killer app for Kinect 2.0 and can use the Kinect better than anyone until now. A brilliant game that not all the players can appreciate, but that everyone should try.

    FRU delivers the game that the Kinect needs to remain as a viable device. The clever set of mechanics that are on offer means that if you have a Kinect currently gathering dust, you owe it a game of FRU.
