Reception
MotionSports received "generally unfavorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. Ronan Jennings for Eurogamer rated the game 3/10, stating that "hopefully this is the last we'll see of the human d-pad experiment. I spend enough time under the thumb as it is." GamesRadar+ rated the game 2 stars, stating that "if your biggest complaint about previous such entries is that they didn't include horseback riding, hang gliding or skiing, then MotionSports might get you in front of the TV for a weekend of flawed fun. Otherwise, we suggest leaving this one on the sidelines." Ryan Clements for IGN rated the game 4.5/10, stating that "MotionSports is not a strong launch title for Kinect. Its inconsistent controls, poor interface, and general lack of polish keep it from being the entertaining mini-game collection it could have been. I highly recommend that gamers looking for a sports compilation go with Kinect Sports, which is far superior in its controls and interface." The Official Xbox Magazine (US) rated the game 3.5/10, stating that you should "Spend your $50 on something--anything--else," whereas the Official Xbox Magazine (UK) rated the game 5/10, similar to IGN 's review, stated that "You'd do better to get Kinect Sports instead." Vandal rated the game 4/10, stating that "MotionSports may have been born as a good idea to take advantage of the possibilities of Kinect by offering us a varied set of tests that would invite us to progress and unlock new challenges, but the truth is that neither how they ended up developing the idea nor the implementation of the control works."
