Arcade steps Zen mode up a notch in that you’re timed and have to produce combos for points, but hitting bombs brings your score down. In Zen, the objective is to get as many combos in the time allotted – and with no bombs to be seen. If you miss three fruits or hit a bomb, it’s game over. Classic mode has you slicing each fruit that you see, aiming for combos whist avoiding the insta-death bombs that also pop up. The hot: Like its predecessors, Fruit Ninja Kinect offers three different game modes: Classic, Zen, and Arcade.

That simplicity makes the game easy to learn, fun to play, and at times, still pretty difficult to master. Extra points are awarded for combos of three or more fruit taken out with one slice. It’s pretty simply really: fruit flies on the screen, and you wave your appendages to take ’em out. Like its counterparts on iOS, Android, and WP7, Fruit Ninja Kinect is a fruit-slashing adventure for your finger…or, in this case, your hands and arms. I’m sure you’ve had one of those moments where you do something, and at the exact same time know you shouldn’t be, right? My separated shoulder and I had that moment last night with the new Xbox Live Arcade title (the first of its kind on Kinect, mind you) Fruit Ninja Kinect.
