I could tell this would be atrocious from the advert in which Burt couldn't even be bothered to read his lines properly

Sounds like I won't be in the movies then, even though EG scored this, as usual, lower than everyone else.

Oh come on, given who worked on it you should have given it a score of....7/10.

Still though, this is clearly one to avoid.

2/10 hit, this will be a hit with the causal Wii crowd then.

Runs.

I considered this before it came out for my kids for Xmas, now I think I'll shit in a box and wrap it up with a bow on top. If they complain, I'll just say it was that or this game. (since my shits are also worth £35)

I always thought this looked and sounded absolutely shite, turns out I was right.
How they can have the cheek to release something that hardly ever succeeds in what it's supposed to do is a mystery.
Microsoft seem to be having a stupidly hard time releasing products that would cater for the family or casual gamers, Scene It wasn't bad, but the sequel is repeating itself after 5 or so full games, bloody awful.

Game looks pap, however Burt Reynolds is an absolute legend. I think the Ad is worth more than the game, made me chuckle anyway!

MS and casual gaming = faliure.

They brought this on themselves and are never going to break the hardcore image they have.

Seeing how the lighting and background need to be uniform and precisely right to make the game work, it's clear that Microsoft still hasn't learned the absolute essential of casual gaming that Nintendo has mastered so well. Namely that for a casual game to work, the casual people need to be in pristinely white designer lofts and look like swimsuit models in expensive high contrast clothing.

Post of the day!

Dear Microsoft, I have already had my faith in a long loved company shattered once this console generation, please don't make it a second time by pandering to the Lowest Common Denominator for a quick buck like they did.

I just can't understand how this ever got past the initial ideas phase. I mean TV and film companies spend millions on chroma and hue keying equipment, blue/green rooms etc just to achieve an effect that you can still see, so why anybody ever thought that you'd be able to get anything remotely passable from a web cam and a £200 pound console is beyond me.

The person who could come up with software that could do this idea well, for that much hardware expenditure, would be able to make an absolute fortune selling it to the media industry.

It does look pants but I'm surprised just how harsh that score was; review read like a 4 or 5. Mind you, I'd have added 1 or 2 to the scores of Scene It and Lips, so maybe I'm just more generous with these caz games.

If I remember as well didn't the You're in the Movies team say in reply to the EyeToy/PSEye chaps something along the lines of "Well that's what you think?!".

Saying that to the guys that have been developing software and the technology for probably 4 years......

Its OK Microsoft. Not everyone has to love you....

Oh, and obviously this will be fact because as we all know anecdotal info on the internet is ROCK SOLID, my girlfriend works at HMV and she says that loads of people are bringing back Lips because the microphones don't work right. But then apparently thats the same with the GH/RB peripherals.

I think the review is a little harsh, whilst I don't disagree with the majority of the comments (i bought a £7 king size flat sheet to hang up in my living room) the movies are pretty funny (to those that know the 'actors/actresses' in them).

check out our first movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z378iln9uA

not bad for £25 tbh.

oh and those that are interested - here's the setup. http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamdabe/309...

Hopefully no-one will buy these shiteflop casual games, and the message that 360 owners dont want such digital pus on their system will get through.

Make proper games, with proper gameplay MS, not fugging Wii games!

Blimey.

After an hour with it, two seems generous.

MS should've banished this shit into the ether a long time ago.

I think you're missing the point of background removal, if you're removing the actually background yourself :).

Well one can only hope that they will never move away from the hardcore.

dabe: So you bought a sheet to make it better, and even then your video still shows off the artifacts and errors that are pointed out in the review.

Doesn't show much promise for people who couldn't be arsed to hang a sheet in their living room.

Fair play to Dabe for posting the vid of him acting like a tool :)
It's just a shame that the vid still points out all that is wrong with the package, even when you have a gigantic sheet hanging in your front room.
If it had worked properly it looks like it could have been quite fun.
