Halfbrick

YOU are the ninja! The worldwide gaming phenomenon Fruit Ninja has now arrived for Kinect and Halfbrick could not be prouder to bring you the first ever Xbox Live Arcade Kinect title! Your arms are now blades, and the epic battle against the world’s most delicious produce is just beginning. Fruit Ninja Kinect is our evolution of the slice-em-up genre, where we worked tirelessly to utilise next-gen power for the juiciest combat ever!

With Classic, Zen and the frenetic Arcade Mode, Fruit Ninja Kinect includes all the action you know and love with precision control -- along with special features exclusive to Kinect. With Party Mode, four players can turn a normal night into a fierce tournament -- and the new Challenge system will reveal the true masters among your friends.

The whole team at Halfbrick is incredibly excited to bring you this next step in the Fruit Ninja franchise, and it is available for download on Xbox Live Arcade right now for 800 Microsoft Points as part of the offical Summer of Arcade promotion!

Get ready to strap on your ninja gear because Fruit Ninja Kinect is on the way to Xbox Live Arcade! With an announcement and hands-on demonstrations with media last week at E3, Fruit Ninja Kinect is already one of the most anticipated downloadable games of 2011.

FNK brings all of the action that millions of fans worldwide have been playing for over a year and takes it to the next generation using full Kinect support for slicing the world’s most perfectly delicious produce! Classic, Zen and Arcade modes are all available with online leaderboards and challenges, along with two brand new multiplayer modes exclusive to FNK.

Battle Mode pits two players head to head in a juicy melee where they must slice fruit of their own color -- but the white fruit are up for grabs and can be sliced by any player! Team Arcade is cooperative madness, featuring more fruit on-screen than any other Fruit Ninja game before.

FNK is officially part of Xbox Live’s Summer of Arcade promotion, so you can expect to see more news and announcements over the coming weeks leading up to release. Head over to the official page at Xbox.com to see all the media and marketplace content, and check out what some players had to say about their experience with the game at E3:]
