Fruit Ninja Slices Kinect

Dust off your black mask and start sharpening your sword – Halfbrick announced Fruit Ninja Kinect, an all-new console iteration of its smash hit mobile game Fruit Ninja. Fruit Ninja Kinect will be featured as part of Microsoft's
fan favorite Summer of Arcade promotion, and available via download from Xbox LIVE Arcade. The game is scheduled to be released exclusively for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft later this summer.

Fruit Ninja Kinect takes all the frenzied fruit slicing action of the highly popular and addictive mobile game and brings it full scale as players trade in finger chops for full body motion slicing, swinging their arms to cut through an endless cascade of flying fruits while trying to avoid dangerous bombs.

"Fruit Ninja Kinect is perfect for the Kinect system," said Phil Larsen, marketing director of Halfbrick. "Not only is the game intuitive, challenging and fun, it's even a bit of a workout. With the added bonuses of being able to play side-by-side another player and compare scores on the XBLA leaderboards, we're really taking the Fruit Ninja experience to a whole new level."

Following the simple yet addictive mechanics that made Fruit Ninja such a breakout success on mobile devices, Fruit Ninja Kinect stays true to the spirit of the beloved title while expanding players' experience with new gameplay modes and unlockable content.

There are three single player modes: slice for the highest score while avoiding bombs in Classic Mode, serenely slice through 90 seconds of Zen Mode, or throw intense power-ups into the mayhem with Arcade Mode. Fruit Ninja Kinect also adds local multiplayer so Fruit Ninjas can slice side-by-side in pursuit of unlockable blades, backgrounds, avatar shadows and Achievements that only the quickest ninjas will conquer. True  masters of fruit ninjutsu searching the lands for a worthy opponent can climb the online leaderboards, but only ninjas able to decimate the mysterious pomegranate — a rare fruit that players can attack furiously in bullet-time-will claim the highest scores.

With more than 25 million downloads worldwide on mobile devices and top sales chart rankings in more than 60 countries, Fruit Ninja is already an international sensation, and the Kinect version adds a whole new dimension to the frenzy.

Fruit Ninja Kinect will be available for digital download exclusively from the Xbox LIVE Arcade service for Xbox 360 later this summer as part of Microsoft's Summer of Arcade promotion.
