Hi all

Has any one used Your Shape on the Xbox with Kinect?
I use to use the Wii but started cheating, I have been told that Kinect is much better.
Look forward to reading your comments.

    It is tons better than the Wii, it actually scans YOU into the game, and the movement sensor is better than the Wii (we have both), it also monitors to make sure you are doing the movement correctly and gives you coaching, its a lot like a workout video, I recommend it.

    I've tried the Your Shape trial for Kinect, and it was okay, hard to tell with just a trail of one game. It uses the camera to scan your body too, so it's a bit harder to cheat than with the wii! Personally though, I prefer Dance Central for Kinect as it feels more fun while still getting a work out. Having had a wii before the kinect, I'd say it's worth getting Your Shape. :)

    srry! hope you don't mind me hijacking yr post! but would like the same kinda answer!

    I have EA sports active for the Wii, which I'm enjoying, but I'm wondering if its worth me PX-ing my Wii and all games and accessories for an Xbox With Kinect, so that I'm getting better form and more accurate readings etc!

    Thanks!

    Won't intrude anymore! promise!! :D

    Hi Ales1979

    No worries about hi-jacking post, glad to be of use, lol.


    I am going to part exchange my Wii for the Kinect and Your Shape, the positive replies on here and what I have seen on You Tube, it looks like the idea think for me, as I cannot make the gym due to shift patterns and other excuses.

    It would be interesting to see how you get on with Kinect if you do PX.

    Take care

    I brought the Kinect and Your Shape Fitness elvoled and it's brilliant.
    You can really tell you have had a workout and unlike the Wii, I dont think there is any way to cheat as the camera watches your every move.

    I love the Your Shape with Kinect! There are so many things you can do to switch up your routine, and you can download extra games with microsoft points also. I like the cardio boxing once you get it on a high enough level to move faster.

    I know this has nothing to do with your question, but if you have Xbox Live, you should download the free trial for Dance Central. You will fall in love with that game, and it's such a great workout!

    I use Dance Central for the Kinect and I LOVE IT! such a good workout. The best part is that it tracks your calories based on your weight and the amount of movement you do with your whole body the WHOLE time the song is playing. It is great cardio, highly recommended :)

    I prefer EA Active 2.0 over that one. Way more exercises to do and the HRM makes it a little more accurate.
