Kinect Disneyland Adventures Review

I just rented this game yesterday, but I had to review it because of it being either excellent or god awful, what one is it, you'll have to see.
Another thing I'd like to point out is that I go to Disney World a lot, so I will be more critical.
Magic Kingdom in Florida and Disneyland in California are basically the same thing, so that's something to remember.

Premise:
This is a new category, I'm not going to judge the games on this, but this is is to tell you what it's about. The premise here is that you're a kid at Disneyland who somehow gets in the park without any money. In the game you talk to characters and play minigames based off rides.

Presentation:
The presentation in this game is excellent, they recreate Disneyland just right, from the rides to the restaurants, this is a excellent game in terms of presentation, the colors are also bright and colorful, I give this a 95.

Sound:
This is also very good too, the voice acting is amazing. But there is one thing that annoys me, the talking families in the background! Yes, you're not at Disneyland alone, there are other families that add more life to the game, but they just won't shut up, but at the same time I liked the families because they brought more life to the game. The music is okay. I give this a 45.

Graphics:
The games graphics are...okay. They don't really show what the Xbox can do...but they are better than some Wii games. But they really don't impress that much. So I will give this a 40.

Gameplay:
Ugh...You know what, here is a list of why I hate the gameplay so much.
-Controls are broken
-Tedious getting to characters
-Minigames are tedious and boring
So yeah, this gets a 15.

Lasting Appeal:
The game may look like it has a lot of replay value, but it doesn't, every minigame feels the same and it'll take you about 15 minutes just to get to one character to another, so this will be a "end of the shelf" title. This gets a 30.

Overall:
The game is god awful, the controls are broken, the gameplay is tedious, the graphics and sound don't come up to the Xbox's potential. But this ended up getting a 45...so I will subtract 10 points away from this score.
