Microsoft launches free Kinect Star Wars mobile app

Microsoft launched a brand new app for iOS and Android phones today, allowing users to view their Facebook and Twitter updates as one continuous ‘crawl’ – the iconic intro text used at the beginning of all the Star Wars movies.

Stephen McGill (Director of Xbox and Entertainment for Microsoft UK) said:

“We are literally putting ‘the Force’ directly into people’s phones to help launch Kinect Star Wars.  Fans will be able to carry a piece of the Star Wars universe in their pockets and, like the new game for Xbox 360, immerse themselves in the incredible world of one of the most enduring entertainment franchises like never before.”

The free app also features information about the full game, and even allows you to buy a copy directly.

Rich Berry reviewed Kinect Star Wars recently, awarding it 84%.
