Kinect Sports is one of the launch games for Microsoft's Kinect peripheral for the Xbox 360 , where movement of the players using their body and limbs, not a physical controller, is translated onscreen through their Xbox 360 Avatars. All included games are simulations of real-life sports.

The game has three main modes: one or two players locally or over Xbox Live, Party Play for multiple players in a single room, and Mini-Games where the included sports are presented with a variation in gameplay. Not all games share the same free-for-all or cooperative options. For AI opponents the player can also determine the difficulty level.

Party Play consists of variations of the main sports as well, for up to six players divided over two teams. A session generally lasts fifteen minutes with six rounds. A game is chosen by turning a wheel and then each team has to appoint a player to compete.

The included sports are:

Beach volleyball * Teams of two characters play games of beach volleyball in a race to reach seven points first, but only when there is a two-point difference. There are different serving options and the player can also jump and hit to smash or block.

Extending an arm left or right in the direction of the team player is done to pass, build up an attack or return a ball. Passing can also be done with two hands for more accuracy and the game registers a small touch to land the ball close over the net.

Bowling Players extend a hand left or right to pick up a ball and then swing it backwards and immediately forwards, releasing it on the lane. By stepping around and leaning in you can give the ball more momentum.

In the mini-games there is a survival mode where you need to hit all pins in a single throw, with different positions for each challenge. You can also switch places and do target shooting with a keeper in the goal.

Football In this game of soccer players need to reach the opponent's goal through passes. When the ball is in possession different passing options are shown.

The pass is given by kicking in one of the available directions, while the opponent can intercept by blocking the path or tackling. In a defending position you attempt to stand in the ball's path or perform a tackle.

Table tennis

To serve players pick up the ball, throw it in the air and hit it. Returning the ball is done by extending the arm and swinging left or right.

Track and field

For instance while doing hurdles you need to actually run at a fixed position to gain speed and jump whenever you approach a hurdle.

The game incorporates the Show Off & Share functionality of Kinect Adventures . There is an option to allow Kinect to record video highlights of yourself while playing the game. These are shown when an event is finished.

They can be shared locally or posted online to kinectshare.com - where it is possible to download the video to a PC or share them directly through Facebook.

In the singleplayer mode the player earns experience by competing in events. Certain amounts of points are rewarded with badges and avatar items.
