Kinect Sports

cracking solution

Ta, SPARTIKU5. Very nice of you to say.

Genious in its simplicity.. have a drink of water, bit of a cool down. then boom chieve..

Yeah... read a book, watch tv, check e-mail, get achievement! Thanks for the kind comment. :-)

Pussies... Got this first go without being a lightweight about it!

It's just about getting it, not how you get it, sir.

Fuck yeah I got it using your strategy. I am very tall (like 2m) and with my long legs its very difficult to raise knees and sprint fast at the same time. But with your solution I did short sprint bursts with high knees between every green zone. Fucking worst achievement in the game, never ever again!

My flat is smelling like a pile of sweaty football jerseys now... Hahahaha

Thank you for your kind words, Mike. I'm glad this helped you out.

I'll be honest, the Circuit Breaker achievement in this game annoyed me for hours to the point that I've completely given up on it... ugh!

Don't give up on Circuit Breaker. For me it helped to create more space in front of the TV plus a high Kinect camera position (above TV with a camera stand). With less space I tried like 100 times getting mixed results between 70 and 120m. With more space, I always throw over 100m (which is necessary) and also aiming is much much better! Got it in 10th try like this. As you can see I have completed KS and you can do it as well!

He wasnt even liftin his knees that high... Dam i lifted mine higher than that done it first go... Took a lot out of me tho!!!

I really can't get this to work, it always fails me around 300/400 when I am running faster and lifting my knees higher than the guy in the video...

damn i cant get past 980 , my high score, at least 10 times, i could lose weight really fast if i do this 30 minutes a day and get me more stamina

getting this will be the fucking death of me holy hell so hard

cant get this and sprinted harder and faster and knees higher than that guy WTF???

Dude looks total fucked in that vid. Hopefully this red bull will help me get it

It's that start that is the trick to it. He starts before it even says go!

After so many tries, I would have to say, do not follow this guide, you'll waste your energy. I have not met one person who can raise their knees that low and win the achievement. It was all high high knees and good pacing.

I'd want to make some notes here: first off I can bet that the game version they used in the video is very different from the normal retail or digital version, which allows them to lift their knees so low, yet reach almost the max speed; secondly his hands going all glitchy proves that some unseen tricks were used (there is no way to make the kinect see your hands moving like that, when you clearly move them up and down, unless the kinect is placed in a very weird position); thirdly I have tried so many ways of running, of positioning myself, of lifting my knees higher or lower, of tilting the kinect up or down, absolutely nothing worked, my avatar just wouldn't move as fast as that guy's avatar moves in the video. I really wanted to get it "legit" but the probable extent to which you have to raise your knees and the rapidity with which you have to cope are almost inhuman and not too many persons can do that, including me.

Now, the way that I finally managed to do it, the way that I think is absolutely the best way to approach this achivement is to first go in the kinect tuner, tracking, and tilt the kinect down so that you can see the floor clearly and your head is almost at the top of the kinect tracking camera , then get a chair, place it behind you and before you start, stand up, raise your hand, bend down and 0.5 secs before it says go, sit on the chair with your back almost straight and immediately start lifting your knees almost up to your chest level and keep on doing that for about 1 minute and 15 secs (in the rest zones as well) and I guarantee you it will work flawlessly. Just do not stop lifting your knees until you're done. I also recommend to take a break of at least 30 minutes after you're done... if can still stand up after the effort. Congratulations to anyone who got this achievement legit or not.

I got it legit and its actually quite annoying that people can get this by 'cheating' cause now its pretty meaningless that I did it legitimately... Never mind..

OMG this was so hard. I put a cover at my side and waved it like it was my knees. I got it first try.

Clearly the guy in the video must use some super kinect sensor. I run so much faster than him and also lifted my knees up much higher than him. Even when i lifted my knees up higher than him i run faster and barely made it. This was an insane achievement doing legit as I did.

So frustrating but very happy i got this one done.

Cant believe one as old as me are playing something like this.

This... Is... Hard... Tried today, and the man in the vid looked like he took a sunday trip through the park. I didnt stand a chance...

The video is very misleading because you can copy the guy in the video and even run faster with higher knees but you'll end up with a slower time. After many failed attempts I tried xCosmo BOLTz's method listed above I got it first try. You just have to make sure you follow his kinect tracking instructions first.

I got knees high and ran very fast but I noticed that my avatar is not very fast. What can I improve? Best is 755 and I was running faster and knees higher than the guy in the video. Very frustrating :(

Hey, I can promise you it was a retail version on a retail xbox! I think pumping your arms helps, but as long as you pause in the rest sections, you should win the achievement.

Another helpful hint is to get the boost at the beginning of the race. You take off as the gun is shot and it'll boost you straight to the first rest area in under a second.

I paused via the guide button during the green sections to catch my breath. That helped a bunch and I got this on my second attempt.

omg whats the point in that... If you had to press the guide button you shouldnt get the cheevo... I feel cheated now... I did it first go but it nearly killed me then i read that!! What an insult to everyone who has got this legit!!!
