Fruit Ninja Kinect is a motion-controlled adaptation of Halfbrick Studios’ popular mobile slasher. Released on the Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) in 2011, it utilized the Kinect sensor to track full-body and hand movements, turning the player into a virtual ninja. Unlike the standard Fruit Ninja , the Kinect version requires no controller—only gesture recognition.
: Since XBLA games often default to "Trial" mode, you must use a tool like XM360 to scan and unlock the full version on your console.

The tracking is surprisingly responsive for an early Kinect title. It detects your silhouette and maps your swipes to the screen with very little lag.

The Kinect version of leverages the motion-sensing capabilities of the Kinect, allowing players to use gestures to mimic the action of slicing fruit. This added a new layer of interaction compared to the touch-screen controls of the original mobile version.
