I got this as a reward for hitting a goal weight. I tried it today and aside from some control aggravation and inaccurate scans (My chin was apparently 161 inches lol) the work out part wasn't too bad. I liked it enough to do a couple of routines. The thing is, if anyone knows, how accurate the calorie burning is. I'm counting the workouts as body comp exercises if nothing else. It doesn't track my movements consistently and credits me more reps than I've done sometimes but I was sweating pretty well after 40 mins...
Anybody else use this game?

    Love it. No idea how accurate the calorie counts are and it doesn't seem to track me well on floor exercises bit it gets better at tracking the more you use it. I do know I workout really hard when I use it, it's fun and I see results. Definitely works for me. Good luck!

    I can't speak to this particular workout, but when I did workout mode on Dance Central, the calorie burn was actually way more sensible than MFP's default numbers.

    Awesome, thanks for the input! I've been looking at some dance related games for my next goal reward, I'll look into dance central. :)

    Somehow my game got set for 16 minute workouts, which includes the warm up and cool down. I have gone through each menu and setting and can't figure out how to change it. Anyone have any ideas? I stopped using it because 16 minutes is pretty pointless.

    There is a menu at the beginning that asks how long you want to work out for. under 20, over 30 etc. Just select. I wish I could be more specific. It is a tab at the bottom screen when you select for custom work out... I did under 20 and felt like I could do more, so I just did it over again. Worked for me...
