Which Xbox 360 motion peripheral does Kinect Star Wars use? It uses Kinect.
Kinect Star Wars is built around Microsoft’s Kinect motion-sensing camera for the Xbox 360. Instead of relying on a traditional controller, players move their bodies to perform lightsaber strikes, use Force powers, steer podracers and control other game modes.
The game was developed by Terminal Reality and published by LucasArts and Microsoft Studios. It was formally announced at E3 2011 and released worldwide on April 3, 2012. Its main Jedi Destiny mode lets players act as Jedi Padawans, while Podracing, Rancor Rampage and Galactic Dance-off provide very different motion-controlled experiences.
A common mix-up is confusing Kinect with a conventional Xbox 360 accessory or with rival motion systems such as Nintendo’s Wii Remote, Sony’s PlayStation Move or the older EyeToy. Those devices belong to other platforms and are not the peripheral used by this Star Wars title.
