“Wipeout” video game coming to Kinect for Xbox 360

ABC has announced that a video game based on their hit series Wipeout is being made for use on Kinect for Xbox 360.

Wipeout in the Zone is coming to the platform this summer, and will feature over 30 obstacles to test players’ limits via Kinect’s full-motion capablities. Players can try to run the entire course in one shot, conquering one challenge after another, such as leaping over a pool of water using the infamous “Big Balls” and maneuvering to avoid being pummeled by the “Smack Wall Sweeper.” The game will feature the voice commentary of the show’s hosts, John Anderson, John Henson and Jill Wagner.

Wipeout itself will return to ABC this summer, around the time that this game comes out.
