Pros
Pro Kinect game
Utilizing the Kinect to take snapshots of ones body in poses to help platform to the end of a stage is a pretty original way to not only use the connect but also play a platformer.
Pro Well paced progression
Each level introduces a new feature until all are played, at that point the game starts throwing multiple features at you at once. This allows the player to easily get acclimated to the gameplay.

Pro Unique focus on carrying an item around each level, over traditional platforming
The goal of each stage it to carry around a sarcophagus to an end point. This can is done by using ropes to help pull the sarcophagus around each stage, which requires more thought over a traditional platformer where jumping from platform to platform is the only concern.
Cons
Con Kinect function works poorly
Use cases may vary but more often than not the Kinect has much trouble cropping a users body correctly, which not only makes the game frustrating to play but flat out does not deliver the experience promised.
Con Enemies feel out of place with the games momentum
A puzzle platformer at heart, when enemies are thrown into the mix the game becomes quite frenzied, which takes the player out of the zone of just traversing stages to now haphazardly avoiding enemies.
