No its a full free game for every person that has a camera. I've played it with the camera and its pretty hard!!! Might give a man a familiar arm ache...

any real impressions of the game so far? you know... like not playing with a totem poll in the shower and all this morning. (who won?)

Yeah I surprisingly like it. It's really quite tricky but the best part of the game is the Pin Ball machine mode where you flap your arms up and down to move the flippers. It's quite entertaining, but I'd describe it like a more graphically enhanced version of marbal ultra blast without a controller. Plus another hard point is actually keeping your hands in the same place. If you move them out slightly wider than they should be, the game pauses itself.

and totemballbags in the shower is quite fun too.

You had to mention the shower didn't you... Well, I'm at the mall anyways today. might as well pick up the camera.

TotemBall's OK. The main problem for me is that I sit quite close to the camera, so I have to hold my arms really close together which makes it hurt quite quickly. And the motion sensor's not quite sensitive enough, those sliders only recognise about four different levels so it's quite fiddly to make tight turns.

A good start though, and hey, it's free!

I so want to play this game.

Sounds weird but I want to try it , too bad those cameras cost a full game and I cant afford it right now .

UKJAY · October 5th, 2006, 02:27

Sell a kidney!

I liked what I played, me and my girlfriend just tried the two player mode which was pritty fun. Have to put a little more time into it though.

I tried the cam in my shower but it didn't work.
Then I wrapped my Xbox in a shower curtain and noticed the wireless pad was still working, but not on Totemball.
So I sold a kidney and now I have some pain in my right side even if I keep my arms close together.

Knowing all this, is anyone still expecting 'Mad Tracks'?
