We do not have a Xbox in our house, but my parents have one so we took the Twister Mania game over there to play. Zachariah was very excited when he saw the game box, because it has some screen shots on it. He saw the "Hole in the Wall"-type game they have and was so happy to try that first. There are many ways to play and 4 game challenges. You can choose from Shape Frenzy, Twist &Fit, Break It Down and Spot On.

I am very happy that Twister Mania is rated E for everyone. I can feel good about playing it and letting my son play this whenever he wants as well. And this game makes a great party game since up to 8 people can play it! It's perfect for all your holiday parties and family get-togethers.

You can find Twister Mania for Kinect Xbox 360 in stores and online now.
