他患了自閉症的兒子, 平時玩遊戲都很難上手, 時常操控得不好, 玩得不開心. 但他見爸爸時常玩, 又很想陪爸爸玩.
但這次玩 Kinect, 爸爸發現兒子不用教都很快學會怎樣玩, 玩的過程亦很順暢, 很enjoy. 爸爸說見到兒子難得地露出這麼開心的表情, 印象非常深刻。
這位編輯盛讚Kinect 的UI做得好, 夠 intuitive (直覺式的). 說自己本來對Kinect沒有興趣, 但這 US$150 付得很有價值.

I think Kinect is OK, but it's the best $150 I spent on a console
There’s almost nothing I’ve seen before I picked up Kinect that reallyinterested me. Many of the games looked OK, and the ones I played withbefore the launch didn’t really make me want to jump out and buy thething. But, seeing as we’re a website that reviews games, I didn’t wantto saddle Chuck with all the Kinect games to review. So, I saunteredoff to my local Target store along with my son and picked up a unit .
Getting it home, I went through the setup and as with anything new orunique, my son gets pretty inquisitive. Even though it looked like asimple black bar, he was all over the way it moved and tracked theuser. He was excited about trying Kinect Adventures as the box lookedlike it had some fun and interesting games on it.
Now, let me say a few years ago, my son was diagnosed with Autism.Thankfully, he’s pretty high functional so we’ve been fortunate in thathe’s very responsive to my wife and I. When you’re a parent of aspecial needs child though, you really pay special attention to anysmall signs of progress. For me, it’s hard to not be amazed at some ofthe things he’s learned given the hand he’s dealt with.
So, when my son really wanted to try out Kinect, I was more than happyto oblige. He’s taken up to watching me play a lot of video games andtries to play some himself. Controllers for the PlayStation 3, Wii, andXbox 360 do frustrate him and he has a lot of trouble controlling thecharacters on the screen using the peripherals, but he’s always willingto try and keep on practicing in getting better. As he tells mesometimes, “I want to play with you, Daddy.” so he’s pretty persistentin trying to get proficient with them.
What proceeded to happen was pretty amazing to me. Firing up KinectAdventures, we tried out Rally Ball as our first game to play together.He jumped around and flailed his arms and legs in trying to punch theballs back to the blocks. It was pretty cool to see but the thing thatreally threw me for a loop was when the game ended. The game made myson the primary controller and seeing as I didn’t explain anything tohim on how it works, I was ready to tell him to step out so I can go inand navigate through the menus.
But, I decided to see if he could follow my directions and interactwith the menus. I said hold out your hand and place it on the button.Without any hesitation, he put his hand up and moved it over the buttonon the screen and held it there until the circle animation finished,indicating the button has been pressed. After that initial coaching, heproceeded to move around in the menus without much vocal cues from me.I just stood there and was flabbergasted by what I just saw.Microsoft’s design team did such a good job at creating a userinterface with Kinect that my son was able to go through each menu toinitiate the next round in Rally Ball. It’s intuitive enough that Ispent barely any time teaching my four year old special needs son howto go about the menu system.
Throughout my hour session with my son by my side, I was constantlyimpressed by how easy he could figure out each game and play themwithout getting fed up. He knew how to flap, glide, and move around inSpace Pop just by me saying, “Flap your arms to fly.” once. A few movesaround the living room let him figure out that the Avatar in the gamemimicked his movements as well in moving in and out. With 20,000 Leaks,he had no trouble figuring out that you place your hand or foot overthe leaks to close them. It was quite an exhilarating feeling to seehim play all these little mini-games on his own with very minorcoaching from me.
For the first time, I was able to play something with my son and notspend any time with him being frustrated on not being to do anything orhave a character get stuck on the screen. He had fun with all the gamesand actually did well with them. The joy in his eyes as he was able tocomplete the tasks and move around in the menus is something I’ll neverforget.
Kinect isn’t targeted to me, but it’s brought my son into the gamingfold with its intuitive controls and simple games in Kinect Adventures.Even though I haven’t found a launch game that I’m interested inspending a lot of time with alone, I know that I’m able to spend somegreat time playing along side my son and see him thoroughly enjoyinghis time on a console.While he still struggles in communicating, I knowthere’s one thing he can do without having to deal with any of thefrustrations Autism has brought upon in his life. And for me, that’sworth much more than the $150 I spent in picking up the peripheral.. |
