Kinect Star Wars and the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars console bundle will both be available on April 3, 2012 in the UK for £39.99 and £349.99 respectively, Microsoft and LucasArts have announced.

Kinect Star Wars offers five gameplay modes – Jedi Destiny: Dark Side Rising, Podracing, Rancor Rampage, Galactic Dance Off and Duels of Fate – and promises to make it possible for Star Wars fans of all ages to immerse themselves in the Star Wars experiences.

Details of the new game modes.

  • Jedi Destiny Mode
  • Space battles: As you travel the Galaxy to face an evil that threatens to undermine the fabric of the Republic, you’ll engage with forces of the Empire in intense space battles
  • Speeder Bikes and Landspeeders: Pilot iconic Speeder Bikes and Landspeeders on your epic journey
  • New duels: Battle opponents like Count Dooku and Darth Vader on your journey to become a Jedi
  • New Duels of Fate mode, a battle-by-battle experience to sharpen your Jedi skills against the Dark Side.
  • New Galactic Dance Off mode loaded with Star Wars-themed pop tunes where those still honing their Jedi skills can take a break to battle Darth Vader on the dance floor or bust a move “Solo style.”

Additionally, the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars console bundle will feature an exclusive C-3PO unlockable for Dance Mode.
