The Finnish project formerly known as Kick-Ass Kung Fu has made another big jump in terms of making a real and marketable product from its humbler origins as a concept and project at an academic institution. The last incarnation made it big as a PlayStation Network (http://www.kungfulivegame.com/) downloadable game but the current version is getting charged for an Xbox 360 Kinect release for Europe and the Americas in time for Christmas. Now its really time to clear out the furniture!
Kung Fu High Impact is the first of its kind for Kinect for Xbox 360--a side-scrolling brawler that uses the peripheral's incredibly accurate body tracking technology to insert the real image of the player on screen. The gamer will be literally transported into the action, as he or she will be able to see real-life combat movements interacting with the enemies and objects on screen.
