You're in the Movies for the Xbox 360

This is the 360's first serious attempt to challenge the Wii as a funky, family entertainment device — and it's not a bad start. Using Microsoft's under-used Vision Camera as a simple motion capture device, the idea is to get you and your friends jiggling, jumping and gurning to on-screen instructions, then sit back while the footage is cut into movie style previews. With various genres from action to comedy, it takes a fair bit of positioning to get yourself in the frame and the final clips are disappointingly short and inconsistent in quality. However, at this time of year and at a very reasonable price, it's an amusing gimmick that should keep family and friends entertained until the traditional Christmas fighting begins.
