Appearing at ‘gamescom’, Europe’s biggest gaming convention, Martina enjoyed the controller-free fun of the game which takes advantage of Xbox 360’s revolutionary Kinect full-body-tracking technology - no controller required.  

“It’s really good fun and an enjoyable way to play tennis with my friends and family without needing a racket in my hand. With Kinect it’s so simple, there are no controllers so all you need is your body!”, said Martina

‘Kinect Sports: Season Two’ features a slate of new sports, including tennis, darts, skiing, American football and golf. 

Exciting new features bring families and the world together like never before. Players can compete against each other in the living room as well as online via Xbox LIVE, Xbox 360’s online entertainment service.  

The first game in the Kinect Sports franchise, ‘Kinect Sports: Season One’, has sold over three million copies since its launch alongside Kinect in November 2010.
