Joy Ride Gets a Dis-Kinected Sequel

Kinect Joy Ride was a casual racing game released at launch with Kinect in 2010, and it didn’t wow critics. (ā€œJoy Ride might be the equivalent of a new word for spaghetti,ā€ wrote Stephen Totilo. ā€œThe old one’s fine.ā€) Gamers especially didn’t care for standing up as they approximate the steering-wheel controls, something they felt was more intuitive if they were sitting down.

Well, you won’t have the Kinect controls to kick around any more. There’s a sequel—Joy Ride Turbo, coming soon to Xbox Live Arcade—and it appears to have ditched all Kinect support, going over to a standard controller. The game says it’ll offer an ā€œall new Stunt Park,ā€ where ā€œyou can jump off cliffs, shoot out of a cannon, and more.ā€ The game will feature new tracks, holdovers from the original, and online multiplayer supporting up to eight.

A specific release date was not given, but it’s likely that we’ll be getting this game sometime in the summer.
