Experience Josh's Nightmares Through the Kinect Sensor
------------------------------------------------------
Rise of Nightmares is a true first - an unabashedly mature
experience for Xbox 360 using the Kinect Sensor. Players take on
the role of the well-meaning, but flawed hero, Josh. Intent on
saving his faltering marriage to wife Kate, he sets off on what
is intended as a romantic rail trip through Eastern Europe only
see her kipped by a grotesque henchman. Not exactly the happy
ending that was intended, he pursues but finds himself at the
mercy of his target, a mad and morbidly creative scientist named
Viktor, who is backed by various minions, including an army of
zombie-like creations. Your goal is to survive one hellish night
as you fight hand-to-hand against your enemies using the
hands-free controls of Microsoft Kinect and attempt to find and
free Kate.
Movement and Weapons
--------------------
To survive Josh's nightmare you will need to utilize the Kinect
Sensor to explore the game environments and discover the weapons
needed to combat enemies. The game features dozens of diverse
weapons of both the melee and slashing variety. These include
everything from the standard fare of knives, axes, chainsaws and
your bare hands and feet, to more gory contraptions that will rip
your foes limb from limb if wielded correctly. Movement
throughout the game is controllerless via the motion control
capacity of the Kinect sensor, which recreates your every move
whether that be running, backpedaling, side steps, balancing
moves, jumps and more. The Kinect Sensor also allows for
precision attacks, including punches, kicks, and blocks, as well
as hacks and slashes with weapons that are also picked up using
the Kinect Sensor. Adding to your horrific challenge, certain
enemies may require attacks using specific weapons or
combinations of weapons, and weapons are also degradable -
meaning that they have a limited shelf life and must be used
wisely.
The Kinect Sensor
-----------------
The Kinect sensor allows you can experience gaming like never
before. Easy to use and fun for everyone, the Kinect sensor
utilizes revolutionary full-body tracking to put you in the
center of the fun. This amazing new technology allows the sensor
to recognize your body and mirror your movements in the game,
making you the controller. The sensor is compatible with every
Xbox 360, features a color VGA motion camera (640x480 pixel
resolution @30FPS), a depth camera (640x480 pixel resolution
@30FPS) and an array of 4 microphones supporting single speaker
voice re.
