Oh yes people, oh yes indeed! What we have here is something that looks a little bit special.

As if that weren’t enough though, they have also announced the all new Podracing mode that will feature in the upcoming title, Star Wars Kinect.

Kinect Star Wars brings the Star Wars universe to life like never before. Harnessing the controller-free power of Kinect for Xbox 360, Kinect Star Wars allows fans to physically experience training as a Jedi, using the Force and battling with a Lightsaber. Using full body motions, players can live out the ultimate Star Wars fantasy, no controller required.

Podracing Mode

Previously shown content for the title includes the Jedi mode unveiled at E3; complete with Lightsaber combat and Force movement, the mode optimises the ideal mix of gameplay feel and heroic animation through epic Jedi duels with an array of fan favourites from the Star Wars universe. The Kinect Star Wars’ Podracing game mode allows fans a chance to compete alongside the surviving racers of the Boonta Eve in recognisable pods and other unlockable vehicles native to the Star Wars universe.
