Kinect has been an unlucky device. Fru is a real masterpiece, a brilliant game everyone should try and share. Through Games delivers Kinect's Killer App: too bad they are few years late.90Everyeye.it
Even if FRU ends up being one of the last Kinect games made, it ensures that the peripheral will be going out with quite a huge bang indeed.90Hardcore Gamer

After two years of silence FRU is finally here, and it stands as a demonstration of what Kinect could have done for games, and sadly never would at this point.88Multiplayer.it
FRU is, together with Fantasia: Music Evolved, the best game for Kinect on Xbox One. It's fresh, original and fun, so if you're slightly interested in Kinect, you shouldn't miss it.85Vandal
A Kinect game released in 2016 that's actually worth digging out your Kinect for.85IGN
Fru is the first killer app for Kinect 2.0 and can use the Kinect better than anyone until now. A brilliant game that not all the players can appreciate, but that everyone should try.85SpazioGames

While FRU is guilty of both a very short length and several frustrating moments, it still ends up being one of the most clever and successful uses of the Kinect around.70We Got This Covered
One of the best Kinect games ever released. [Issue#177, p.85]70games(TM)
One of the worst games I've played on Xbox One. I rather go to the dentist than play another Kinect title. I will stick to the Wii U. Play something differnet0Lbjmvp232
