Very positive impressions of Kinect Sports: Season 2

Eurogamer has some new impressions of Kinect Sports: Season 2 up, and they're very positive. From their preview it really seems like Microsoft's Rare Studios understand how to use Kinect's motion controls to create an intuitive & fun game. In their summary that say

"Each event, quite simply, works as you'd expect it to without your brain having to enter "video game mode". This is a much more eclectic line-up of events, each with its own unique feel; that so many of them feel "right" the moment you step in front of the sensor is quite an achievement, the sort of invisible design work that is easily taken for granted."

 I've posted some of Eurogamer's impressions on each sport after the jump.
