The games that will be available on the Natal will be incredible. Forget about the Wii. This is going to be something completely new. It's going to change gaming. Why? Because the Natal Games will not require that you use a controller. All you will need to do is use your body.
Yes this is correct. You move your whole body to get into the action. Playing beat em up, then simple do the meneuveurs you want. No need to be restricted to specific preprogrmmed moves. Now you can do what you want. Plus it will help you keep fit.
This incredible new technology will change not only gaming but will more than likely bring new interactive entertainment opportunities. It will be an extra for the Xbox.
You could have golf games which actually help you practice your swing. Football games which actually help you practice you footie skills.
They are planning all sorts of games including driving, dance, skate board and smash em up games. Within these games it takes advantage of voice recognition to enhance many of the games.
The natal will you to have video calls with friends and family. Also you will be able to see what different costumes look like on yourself.
