Product Description
Please note Kinect Sensor required in order to play.
PowerUp Heroes is the game allowing you to feel and act like a super-hero. The time has come to take your Xbox360 avatar and make it a superhero with awesome super powers to face off against super villains, and eradicate the forces of evil. You can collect and gain many suits. Unlock your Avatar’s full potential, make him evolve. Fight after fight you will be more powerful and strongest to face against your friends and become the Almighty Super-Hero of the world.
Leveraging the Kinect technology, PowerUp Heroes is the ultimate super power-infused full-body fighting game. Players control each move in combat by using their entire body to launch projectiles, dodge strikes and counter deadly attacks. Players can unleash super assaults on their opponents in a two-player cosmic showdown online. Additional modes include local two-player versus and four-player tournament.
Players use their unique Xbox 360 avatars to create custom playable superheroes in the game and prepare their avatar for battle by infusing their super suit with deadly powers and special abilities. After the player's character destroys an enemy in battle, they will strip them of the super suit and wield their power for their next battle. There are 20 super suits to collect including the mighty Necromancer suit which allows the player to control a horde of skeletons, and the Mentalist suit that gives the player the ability to break into their enemy’s mind.

Fun:
PowerUp Heroes is a fun "beat em up" which shows off the kinect very well!
You can choose between a variety of "super heros" each boasting their own unique super powers.
Think Mortal Kombat (but without the blood and gore!) The fun part being you are in control!
The special moves are easy to master and the various fight modes keeps the game interesting, my only criticism would be the PEGI 12 rating! The action is nothing you wouldn't see in an everyday cartoon!
So suit up! Power up! And kick some butt! You know you want too!

Fun:
I love this game. It is a really good fighting (tactical) game. Kinect catches up your moves very well and the superpowers are real fun. I played other fighting games on Kinect but so far this one is the best. The "Campaign" is just a series of fights and the learning curve is well balanced. The versus mode is the best where you can fight with your friends in split screen mode. All this at this price makes of this game a MUST have.

Fun:
PowerUp Heroes was honestly the last Kinect title I thought would work and which I would enjoy. Having seen how the Kung Fu Panda 2 Kinect game miserably failed in the fighting genre, and Fighters Uncaged couldn't get close to delivering a nice fighting game, the market is still wide-open on this field. It was actually one of the first things that came to mind when Kinect was announced: a nice karate/kung-fu title. Well, don't get your hopes up yet, as PowerUp Heroes is still not that fighting title, but it's a great start for a clean-cut beat 'em up, Street Figther, title for the Kinect.
The game is simple enough to understand (though lack of instructions may make it difficult to get the hang of at the beginning); you fight others with special powers, and as you beat them, you take over their power. This power can then be used again to fight your next opponent. The power comes in the form of the suit you wear, and before each match you outfit yourself with 2 suits, meaning you'll have 2 sets of powers. Then you face the music and it's a showdown between you and the opponent.
Combat works in long- and short-distance attacks, and it took me a while to figure this out. The long distance ones are basically the powers your suit provide, and the short ones are common punches and kicking. Follow the instructions onscreen and you'll quickly see how the game works. It is definitely not a major fighting title and I guess those ones are still years away in the making, but it's a great breakaway from other Kinect sporty kind of titles. This game will appeal especially to the younger generation, but for the "warrior" in me, I'd say anyone in for a good display of powers and punches should grab this title. What makes this game even more appealing for kids is that there is no blood or gore in it.
The game "campaign" is pretty "short", taking into consideration that this is not an expensive title. Though it is shorter than others, I'd advise not to play the game in one go as that would be boring.
Once again a title that proves there is a lot of hope for Kinect games and a solid foundation to deliver even more exiting gameplay for the future.

Maybe I'm getting old... It's not you, it's me, etc....
The first point I'd like to make on this Game is that the Kinect picks up your movements extremely well, more so than any other Kinect game I've played. Read more

not bad but the novelty wears off real quick...
we waited months for this game to be released and it was fun at first my 7 year old likes it as she can't fit an Xbox controller in her hand so she's not so good at other games.
