You’ve got sixty seconds and three different bonus bananas to help you out: Frenzy, Freeze and Double Points. Bombs exist, but they’ll only dock your score by 10 points rather than completely boot you from your game. Arcade mode is a similarly more forgiving environment. Take a swig of the nearest energy drink, because you’ll be slashing in all directions for a minute and thirty seconds. Bursts of fruit will fly at all angles, with the only restriction being a time limit instead of the pesky bombs. Zen Mode suits this motion-gameplay best. One accidental strike against those things will lose you your game. It almost feels like if you so much as look at one the wrong way, you’ll be forfeiting that score you just spent 10 minutes building. As frustrating as barely scratching the eight ball in pool, Classic Mode has you avoiding the crafty little bombs that pop up in between the brightly colored fruit. Let’s start with our least favorite: Classic Mode. There are four modes to hone your ninja-slicing skills. But the mobile phone game turned arcade title - Fruit Ninja Kinect - is a ridiculously, mindlessly fun game that we could play for hours if it were not for this particular reviewer’s feeble muscles.

With a few exceptions (ahem, Dance Central, ahem), most of the titles are lackluster attempts at tapping the casual market, and sloppy attempts at that.

We’re not the biggest Kinect fans in the office.
