There are five main themed games with variations on these, each with their own flavour.
Reflex Ridge is the most active, asking you to jump, squat and perform mini-ballet moves in order to avoid the bumpers, and catch the tokens. It's quite active work if you're not used to it.
River Rush, meanwhile, transforms from a simple rapids game into a tense platformer, as you shuffle and jump to stay on the bonus tracks. This is Kinect Adventures at its best: the co-op works perfectly to create an atmosphere of friendly recrimination and teamwork.
Rally Ball is a game of prediction and luck, rather than quick responses and skill, and it becomes fun.20,000 Leaks is simple, but another great co-op game, as you plug the holes in your tank with your body.
Finally, there's Space Pop - a game that asks you to move in all three dimensions to collide your Avatar with bubbles. Like the other games, it's fun but shallow.
As bundled software it was never designed to be a long-term game, just a fun one - and bearing that in mind, Kinect Adventures fills its role perfectly.
