Review I gave this game a good run through and I have to say it will really make you sweat!!! I could really see how a person could drop some serious weight by using this game on a daily basis. The exercises are fun and presented very well. The only concern that I would state is that this game does require a decent amount of space to fully utilize and properly complete the included activities. There are many very good reviews on Your Shape Fitmess Evolved. Highly recommended.

 Your Shape and Fitness Evolved 2012 it is by far the best "pure workout" game that you can get on the Kinect.This is in the Number one kinect game for 2012, with a great variety of exercises. EA Sports Active 2 Ea Sports Active 2 Review If you already have one of the previous Sports Actives for the Wii, skip this one. For 100 dollars, it's not worth upgrading. But if you are new to workout games, have an XBOX, a Kinect and an endless supply of patience, I'd say go for it. You will get a good balance of cardio and muscle sculpting workouts, and achievements will have you chasing new goals constantly.

 Deca Sports Freedom # Enact sports moves to bring 10 athletic games to life — without a controller, thanks to Kinect compatibility (Kinect not included) # Swing a tennis racquet, jab with your hand, pull back on the bowstring and more to control the sports action # Experience 10 different sports events: tennis, boxing, archery, paintball, beach volleyball, dodgeball, kendo, mogul skiing, snowboard cross and figure skating # Challenge local and regional DECAthletes to sports competitions online Reviews It could be a decent game, but they're going to have to put out some patches first to make it actually playable before it becomes enjoyable. Most of the reviews are very dis-appointed with this game, not recommended.

Even give it a little topspin. “Kinect Sports” features soccer, beach volleyball, bowling, table tennis, track and field, and boxing.

Simple, intuitive and instantly fun, “Kinect Sports” delivers the ultimate party experience — whether you are trying to outmaneuver the goalie to win the soccer match or cheering on your friends at ringside. The first full-body, controller-free sports game, “Kinect Sports” is so real, you will almost feel the wind in your hair as you fly over hurdles and the sand in your toes as you set, bump and spike your way to volleyball victory.


Kinect Sports

 Kinect Sports comprises a series of six mini-games: soccer, bowling, table tennis, volleyball, track and field and boxing, which are different to those on the Wii. What is also different is that Kinect is able to detect whole body motions – it focuses on 48 different points – which is why it can provide players with a much more realistic experience of the game or sport.

To play the game correctly you need to use the whole body, just like when you play for real.

When playing volleyball you need to use the hands in the same way you would handle the ball, and when playing football you have to kick the ball as though you were playing the game for real.

This really is the Top kinect Sports Game, there are so many good reviews.

This game is a must for any sports crazy gamer.

Kinect Sports 2 introduces six new sports - tennis, golf, American football, baseball, skiing and darts - with loads of challenges and activities for everyone to enjoy.

Review
I gave this game a good run through and I have to say it will really make you sweat!!! I could really see how a person could drop some serious weight by using this game on a daily basis. The exercises are fun and presented very well. The only concern that I would state is that this game does require a decent amount of space to fully utilize and properly complete the included activities. This is really a good game!!!
There are many very good reviews on Your Shape Fitmess Evolved. Highly recommended.

Ea Sports Active 2 Review

If you already have one of the previous Sports Actives for the Wii, skip this one. For 100 dollars, it's not worth upgrading. But if you are new to workout games, have an XBOX, a Kinect and an endless supply of patience, I'd say go for it. You will get a good balance of cardio and muscle sculpting workouts, and achievements will have you chasing new goals constantly.

Reviews
It could be a decent game, but they're going to have to put out some patches first to make it actually playable before it becomes enjoyable.
Most of the reviews are very dis-appointed with this game, not recommended.

Zumba Fitness Reviews- a real mixture,some really love it and others say it is a waste of time, so depending on what you want out of a Fitness game.

First review: I absolutely Love This Game. I would like to say that getting familiar with the Kinect first was very helpful. I would suggest everyone doing this before playing. I take Zumba classes regularly and its awesome to be able to do this at home on a rainy day rather than trecking to the gym. This game is great, it's fun, exciting and gives you the same benefits as the taking the class. Love it!!

Second Review:We have Kinect Adventures, Kinect Sports, Fighters Uncaged, Dance Central, and Your Shape fitness and they are all better games than this one. I will give you an example of the buggy activity.

The game will ask you to do a spin maneuver, but because you stop facing the camera for a second the game signs you out. Since it signed you out, you then have to go through 5 or 6 menus to get back to where you are.

The kinect fitness games so far is”Kinect Sports”, this game has many different sports games for you to play. Sports like soccer, beach volleyball, bowling, table tennis, track and field, and boxing. But not only kinect sports can give you a workout and there are several other kinect games that get your heart pumping.

“Your Shape and Fitness Evolved” is another kinect fitness game that will improve your fitness level. You get a personal trainer and find out which fitness level you are at, the game asks a few questions and you get put at a certain level, then you get to choose which class you would like to take for the day. Classes like Yoga, Martial Arts, or Tai Chi. You can play with one player or with up to 4 players, this game will challenge everyone and it really is so much fun.

This game is a great workout and it tells you when you are doing something wrong and gives you good tips and words of encouragement. There are different programs for different goals such as toning, weight loss, after baby workouts, they have really thought of everything and I highly recommend this game if you are looking for a top kinect fitness game.

“Zumba Fitness” has had mixed reviews, there are 30 fitness routines to choose from with nine different dance styles: Reggaeton, Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Hip-Hop, Mambo, Rumba, Flamenco and Calypso. This game is fitness with fun, but the kinect controller seems to have trouble tracking some of the moves, it’s about finding the correct position so the kinect controller can track your movements.

“EA Active Sports” is another kinect exercise game but you get to build muscle with exercises like squats, lunges and bicep curls, and also included in your routine is a large range of fun fitness activities from mountain biking and dodge ball to boxing. Step aerobics and boxing is a lot of fun. Intensity is not a problem with this game. I completed medium intensity workouts and my heart rate stayed at about 70-80% of my maximum.There is lots of statistics, if you like that sort of thing.

But the number one kinect exercise game is “Kinect Sports”, it’s so much fun for everyone. The game is meant to be a family or friends game because as you play in single player mode from boxing to table tennis it almost feels like you are running in circles, while it's fun to see who gets the higher score when you compete against a family member or friend when you compete against the A.I. of the game it just feels like you're seeing if you can get past this point of the level of difficulty. This really is a must in your kinect library.
