First of a batch of multiplayer gameplay rounds in Kinect Adventures for the XBox 360 by Microsoft Games Studios and Good Science Studios. MacDaddyNook (right-side player in Round 1 and left-side player in Round 2) and Duck play through the first stage in the Adventure Mode titled Go For It.

In Kinect Adventures, players participate in a handful of minigame activities using the Kinect motion camera. To control the character on screen, the player must move their body in front of the camera, in which the on-screen will act out the motions of the player. Although not perfect, the Kinect works very well and is lots of fun to use.

The first stage of the adventure mode introduces players to the first game called Rally Ball. In Rally Ball, players must hit bouncing balls with any part of their body to sent it flying into the distance. The object of the game is to destroy all of the blocks and targets with the balls within the time limit. Upon hitting certain targets, the balls may multiply, making for a frantic experience.

In the second round, we encounter a glitch in which, after losing track of Duck's position, the camera re-enters him into the game using the avatar of MacDaddyNook. Normally, the Kinect can recognize the individual faces of each player and will load their game profile automatically. While not having much affect on gameplay, the glitch is a bit odd.
