Your Shape (Nintendo Wii)
Your Shape for Nintendo Wii... Developed in collaboration with fitness experts Your Shape personalizes a fitness program to your body type goals and schedule. The game comes with a motion-tracking camera in the package. Plug the camera into your Wii and you're ready to go! The camera scans your body so your every move can be detected and guided. Jenny McCarthy is your in-game workout buddy - she will motivate inspire and guide you as you work to reach your goals while keeping things fun (and funny) along the way. Since the game detects your movements Jenny can coach you as you work out to ensure you're doing the exercises correctly. Fitness has never been this personalized or this much fun! PERSONALIZED TO YOU: First you take a fitness test so the game knows your current fitness level. Then you tell the game what you're trying to achieve (slimming your stomach strengthening your arms etc.). Based on that the game designs a program specifically for you based on your fitness level goals and schedule. CONSTANT GUIDANCE TO ENSURE YOU'RE DOING THE EXERCISES CORRECTLY: The camera projects your image onto your TV next to your in-game workout buddy Jenny McCarthy. Jenny is in the game motivating you and coaching you to success. The camera tracks your movements so Jenny can tell you what you're doing right and correct any mistakes. That way you know you're not wasting time. EXERCISE CONTROLLER-FREE: The camera sees you so it works without requiring any additional hardware (such as Wii Remotes Nunchucks and balance boards) leaving your hands free to focus on the exercises. FUN AND MOTIVATIONAL: Jenny McCarthy is your workout buddy - always by your side entertaining and inspiring you. As you exercise the game regularly displays how many calories you're burning and your accuracy percentage so you can always strive to beat your high score! MORE EXERCISES THAN ANY OTHER GAME: More than 400 exercises ensures that your routine is working to meet your g
Your Shape (Nintendo Wii) Reviews
Your shape is what Wii Fit should have been.
With Wii Fit, you are stuck on this small balance board with little movement, and it is just not as easy and fun as this is. Your shape takes what Wii Fit did well, and then adds to it.
With the camera (that comes with the game!) you'll get full movement, which any personal trainer will tell you is the key to a good workout.
If you are going to get one workout game for the Wii, definitely get Your Shape.

Yes. There are a LOT of things that could be better about this game. I don't think ubisoft put nearly enough time into figuring out how to get the camera to work the way it should. And yes this game is almost identical to my fitness coach. But I LOVED my fitness coach. Myself and a few of my coworkers went out and got this game and we are sticking to it religiously. It gives you a great workout. The music is much better than most fitness games out there. And really who cares if the camera doesn't recognize your moves perfectly? You still get a great workout. I have definitely seen results from working out with Jenny. As we speak, my thighs are so sore from the last few workouts that I can barely so OBVIOUSLY its not as horrible as all these picky people make it out to be! Also I have heard that this workout is much better than the wii active due to it being hands free and not requiring the nunchuk.

After reading the reviews on this game I was a little hesitant to buy it. There were a lot of negative reviews and since I wasn't familiar with the product itself I didn't know how realistic the reviews were. I decided to give it a try anyway and I'm glad I did! You have the option to choose what to focus on during the work out (i.e. arms, stomach, legs, etc.) and the lenght of it. I chose to work on my upper body for half an hour and let me tell you that I started feeling it right away!! I'm an average size girl (5'4" tall 135lbs) who works out occasionally but I felt it right away!
The scoring could be a little off but the manual and the intro explains what could cause it to be off. For example, having any other type of movement around besides yours. While I was working out my little one was trying to do the same so everytime the camera caught his movements I would get comments such as "work on your arms a little more". But it did the trick and I can't wait to continue using!!
I'm glad I decided it to purchase it because I now know that the negative comments posted are not ligit complaints. :-)
