    Pretty decent is a pretty good summary. Once or twice it's taken a shot while I was still lining up, or had difficulty detecting that I was squatting to read a break, but for the most part it's been pretty good. (Limited experience, though; I've only had TW for a couple days.) The Kinect is pretty pricy, though. I wouldn't pick it up for just one game. TW is my second Kinect game that I've played with any regularity (UFC Trainer being the other one) and they both have worked pretty well in terms of detecting my movements and acting as a controller. Plus it lets me control my Netflix player with voice commands; that's a pretty cool feature.

    Oh--the other thing I'll say about the swing control is that because you're swinging side-to-side as you face the sensor, it doesn't seem to detect when you heel or toe-hit the ball. Every shot is pretty straight--at least, way straighter than I hit it on the real course! IMO it makes the game a bit more fun--it would be pretty dismal if I was topping every shot like in reality. It's still a golf GAME and not a golf SIMULATOR--it probably won't help your swing very much in real life.

    Thanks for the feedback, Beast. It's low on the priority list, but I'll let you know if I decide to jump into it.

    Has anyone tried out any of the dancing games for Kinect? If I were getting one (Kinect), I'd need to get one of those for the wife although she may also enjoy the UFC workout one also.
