In some mini-games, players use light sabers and telekinetic powers to battle fantastical creatures (e.g., aliens and robots) in melee-style combat; enemies collapse to the ground when killed. In one sequence, players assume a first-person perspective to shoot down alien spaceships\u2014these frenetic battles are accompanied by laser fire and large explosions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Another sequence allows players to control a giant creature that rampages through city streets to attack civilians; cries of pain and crunching sounds can be heard as humanoid characters are thrown, stomped on, and eaten. <strong>In the dancing mini-game, some female characters perform suggestive moves (e.g., gyrating their hips\/buttocks) and wear revealing outfits (partially exposed cleavage\/buttocks)<\/strong>. The words \u201cdamn\u201d and \u201chell\u201d can be heard in the dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, &#8220;Dance Dance Rebellion&#8221; was totally the biggest thing over at Echo Base, so it&#8217;s really just for the sake of authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>Star Wars Kinect was originally scheduled to launch sometime around now, but was delayed by Microsoft to realise it&#8217;s &#8220;full potential&#8221;.
