Rapala for Kinect First Controller-Free Fishing Game Coming to Xbox 360 This November

Activision have announced today that Rapala for Kinect will be available this November on Kinect for the Xbox 360. Featuring total-body motion controls, players will be able to cast, reel, set the hook and more as though there was an actual fishing rod in their hands.

Rapala for Kinect features an arcade style fishing experience controlled completely by a player’s movements. One to four players will compete in contests in a race against the clock. Traveling between fishing hot spots will boil down to fast paced, motor mashing player versus player races. A rapid fire, forty five seconds from cast to catch, ensures fun, quick and intense angling action. Players will drop in and out of the action with barely a pause.

The arcade sheen lends a light heartedness to the sport fishing presentation. Bright, eye catching colors and cel-shaded models are geared towards a distinct Kinect for Xbox 360 title. Humorous features add replayability and user-generated content such as recording your face to paste it onto one of the game’s boss fish. Additionally, all in-game Rapala branded lures have unique personalities and will communicate with entertaining jibber jabber. Social connectivity will extend beyond online gameplay with complete Facebook integration to share the best catches with friends.
