So they're going back to the original idea for Joyride......Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:07 PM
Now make it free like the first one was supposed to be!Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:08 PM
lol at least they arent claiming that its going to be a free xbla game then switch it to a full retail gameFriday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:09 PM
It'd be awesome if this game was free to play but either way I'll get it. Finally a Mario Kart like game.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:10 PM
Doesnt look that bad tbhFriday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:12 PM
@4 Try Sonic and Sega Racing.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:13 PM
joyride had prmise, but stupid kinect controls ruined itFriday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:15 PM
Free or gtfoFriday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:15 PM
it better be free like it was ment to be beforeFriday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:18 PM
Ha, wonder if it'll be free like it was supposed to. Betting no. Joy ride was a pretty good game, I don't think they should throw kinect out all together but have it as an option so you can either use kinect or a controller.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:25 PM
Great, I'm glad I did not waste the money on the first one just to see if it had a controler option, but JRT will be the game that will compeat wirh Trails Evo. And it is getting close to the summer were microsoft likes to do there "let's get everybody in the world playin" thing for example 1vs100, the compleat failure Game Room, and the forgotten Full House Poker. Now if they did make this game free it would be great but I could see them comming out with a dlc schedule that would make COD look bad, to pay for the game, but all in all I'm lookin forward to this game dropping.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:40 PM
That'd be great if they still made it free but after what happened with the first Joy Ride I don't think they'd do it.. I still enjoyed Kinect Joy Ride and if this ends up being 400 points I'll probably grab it.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:41 PM
Says a lot about microsofts faith in kinect when even they drop it from a sequel to a game that was exclusively kinect controlled, not really a vote of confidence. Still this will appeal to the kids and the Mario Kart fans, like the guy above already said Sonic and Sega racing already do's this well.....Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:49 PM
@10 GODDAMNIT! Why the fuck do the comments do that! I hate you I dont know about this. Maybe for 400...on sale...for 200...maybe...Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:55 PM
graphics look too cartony and flashy to really appeal to my eyes. we will see, this one is to be waited on for reviews (and a reasonable price of course) - no snap-decisions here.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 02:55 PM
I remembered when this was suppose to be released for free on XBLA.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 03:02 PM
Ill get it as i wanted it before when it was freeFriday, April 27, 2012 @ 04:03 PM
Hopefully its free but I doubt it. Maybe 800 pts?Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 04:04 PM
Kids, you heard it here first - see for yourselves how MS likes to waste their resources. Instead of spending it on some core games we all need these days, they pay to make a sequel of arguably worst selling game on Kinect... without Kinect LOL!Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 04:35 PM
Now this is more like it, yeah was originally free but that wasn't the only thing that drew me to it before they shoved it into kinect. I'll probably get this.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 04:48 PM
The kinect controls were terrible, at least someone had the sense to see it didnt work.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 04:55 PM
FREE PLEASE!!!!Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 04:55 PM
I might get this. I was interested in Joyride until they went Kinect, so it's nice to see MS giving us what we were originally promised. Now if only all devs would give up the shitty motion controlsFriday, April 27, 2012 @ 05:38 PM
So is this the way of things to come? Dropping Kinect to appeal to a wider audience?Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 05:39 PM
wah wah free waha wahFriday, April 27, 2012 @ 05:52 PM
Only if it's free. Yes, I'm still bitter. Kinect Joy Ride was a betrayal.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 06:04 PM
Better be free, like the original was SUPPOSED to be.... "Joy Ride Turbo will be on the Marketplace for 1600 Points"- Calling it now though, knowing Micro$oftFriday, April 27, 2012 @ 06:11 PM
way to admit an epic fail with another epic fail.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 07:08 PM
#4, you can play sonic and sega racing and madagaskartFriday, April 27, 2012 @ 09:06 PM
I'd never support this game after the free BS they pulled with the first game. Try again M$!!Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 09:56 PM
awesome joy ride :)Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 10:52 PM
Even if it's not free, I'll still give it a shot. I was genuinely looking forward to this when it was announced for XBLA, because I'm hard up for a game that features avatars and is actually action-oriented.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 11:06 PM
It actually looks pretty cool, I do hope it has good handling for the cars. That can make or break the game.Friday, April 27, 2012 @ 11:21 PM
I don't care if it costs money, I'll definitely buy it to show my support for such a BRILLIANT move with the controls!Saturday, April 28, 2012 @ 06:55 AM
i like kinect and the original joyride but the whole time i played it i was thinking how much better it could of been if it had stuck to the original idea, now this is looking a lot closer and better 4 it.Saturday, April 28, 2012 @ 07:41 AM
Guess the first one barely sold. They still made more money than they would have had they released it free though! ;)Saturday, April 28, 2012 @ 10:05 AM
So not free? That's a shame, I was looking forward to the original, when it was still supposed to be a free XBLA title. Well, one can dream...Saturday, April 28, 2012 @ 11:36 AM
The original was supposed to be Free-to-Play, not free. The core game would have been free, but many extras were to be charged for. I guess people only want to remember whatever appeals to them :/Saturday, April 28, 2012 @ 11:49 AM
@41 but it still would have been playable for free, which is kinda all that matters, I mean who cares about paying extra for random crap when the actual core of the game is free.Saturday, April 28, 2012 @ 01:22 PM
They should have made it "Better with Kinect" instead of taking out kinect all together.Saturday, April 28, 2012 @ 02:43 PM
I understand why it most likely wont be free, BUT I also think they should go through with their previous plan of making it free.Saturday, April 28, 2012 @ 03:12 PM
it wasn't ruined by kinect, it was ruined by big park, like they've done with kinect sports 2.Saturday, April 28, 2012 @ 03:56 PM
Joyride, the game that was promised to be released for free on xbla by Microsoft. Thats how most people know this game, the game that was promised by Microsoft and was suddenly made into a Kinect retail game. Would be nice to get the game for free, like it was promised. Maybe Microsoft should learn one more thing. Don't make promises if you're not gonna keep them.Saturday, April 28, 2012 @ 04:44 PM
Give me something with Mario Kart 64 battles, that's all I want.Saturday, April 28, 2012 @ 08:53 PM
MICROSOFT LIED to us. This game was supposed to be FREE!!!!!! I'm not buying this just for the principle. SCREW U MICROSUCK!Sunday, April 29, 2012 @ 07:38 AM
I hope they don't go back on it and say it won't be free any more! But then, this is microsoft we are talking about... they do good but they know how to get money out of you.Sunday, April 29, 2012 @ 01:38 PM
I'd rather pay for it and be at least decent than free and have a game they were careless about, like that Yaris game.Sunday, April 29, 2012 @ 06:53 PM
I'd rather shove an electrified pylon up my ass.Sunday, April 29, 2012 @ 09:54 PM
So many butthurt comments, as per usual. Thanks, GBR!Sunday, April 29, 2012 @ 10:34 PM
Choking on the sense of entitlement in here. Joy Ride was scheduled to be free a free XBLA game to show case the Avatars, then effectively canned in that context and further developed for 12 months into a full fledged, albeit shit, retail game. Thats where the story ends. It's a shame it was such balls because it along with some of the other Kinect launch titles did more harm than good. Joy Ride Turbo is not the same game, it's right there in the title and what with it being a sequel and all, and was never promised to be free. If they drop it for free enjoy the bonus. #12 - you would have considered buying it just to see if it had controller support?! Reviews... back of the box...Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 11:17 AM
As if anyone will buy this!! hahaha, you can make this game (probably better than they did) in the Trials Evolution track editorThursday, May 17, 2012 @ 03:32 AM
I was so hyped for this back in 2009 and then they made it for that Kinect rubbish -_- now i can finally play this game! the visuals actually look beautiful

Kinect Joy Ride is to get a sequel, Microsoft has announced, confirming that it'll also be leaving behind Kinect control in the process. Joy Ride Turbo will instead be a "controller-based arcade racer delivering precision handling" as well as the usual stunts, drifts and colourful racing.
Set in the all-new Stunt Park, you'll be able to jump off cliff edges, get shot out of cannons and more, all in Joy Ride Turbo's huge and vibrant playground. There'll be 42 vehicles to unlock, as you collect trophies, coins and car parts while racing. Each vehicle will apparently have its own characteristics too.
Boasting three modes, namely Battle Race, Pro Race and Time Trial, Joy Ride Turbo will also include support for 4-player split-screen play, as well as support for up to 8 players online. You'll also be able to knock out rivals with rockets, mines, dynamite and more in Joy Ride Turbo, which according to PlayXBLA will be launching in "just a few weeks."
