Kinect Star Wars Adds Rancor Mode

Kinect Star Wars is all about fantasy wish fulfillment, and what beastie have you always wanted to emulate from the massive Star Wars universe? Jabba the Hutt? A Tauntaun? The Sarlaac Pit? How about the fearsome Rancor monster from Return of the Jedi? If your wish was that last one, you're in luck because that particular breed of baddie will be part of the game when it launches later this year.

Not only will you be able to romp and stomp around as a Rancor, but you'll also be able to roar, jump, charge and destroy everything in sight. You'll also be able to chow down on everything from Stormtroopers to Jawas to droids, and the Rancor can also go toe to toe with AT-STs and even pull TIE Fighters down out of the sky. I know the Apprentice could yank giant Star Destroyers down out of the sky in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, but he didn't look like a completely badass monster while he did it.

When the mode was unveiled here in Germany, there were adorable little kids bashing things to bits as these creatures. If that's not worth the price of admission to this game, then I'm not sure what is.

    Honestly this game should be on the Play Station Move and the Nintendo Wii as much as the X-Box 360,I don't mean to say anything negative about the Kinect,Microsoft was not the first to discover wireless motion technology,Play station 2 and Nintendo Wii had the idea first,they didn't know if it was going to be successful or not and the Kinect is a success.But this doesn't want me to go out and buy a X-Box 360 console and a Kinect just for Star Wars,the Kinect is good for one thing,exercise and it's not a real form of exercise either,sorry I had to say this.Please don't take it as a console fan boy flame war.

    I think as we learn more about Star Wars Kinect it begins to make more sense why they're developing it for Kinect, seeing how it's not just a lightsaber game.
