User Reviews about Your Shape

It is a fun workout I don't like to excercise but with this I do -- my shapeup

Other reviews talk about the +'s and -'s but I would just add that for the price I really think it is worth it. -- Not perfect but a good game

I didn't buy this game from amazon, I bought it from a friend who couldn't use it since she had a modified wii. After the first use, which is just a 5 minute assesmemt, I felt the burn in my arms. The next day I could feel in my legs where I had used it. My husband, who has been really into working out, has even started using it and loves it. I do agree that the camera doesn't pick up the moves PERFECTLY but I havent had the many problems everyone has. The lighting in my room throws off the camera a bit. I think it is a great game, and for once in my life, I finally enjoy working out. -- i am pretty satisfied

I absolutely love Your Shape! It is the only Wii fitness game that really gives me a GREAT CARDIO WORKOUT! I haven't experienced serious issues with the camera not reading me. Occasionally, Jenny will keep telling me my arms or legs are not in the right position but I've found actually that most of the time it is ME who is doing the exercise incorrectly. Sometimes it is very subtle so it's difficult to know! I think this is why so many people get frustrated with this game.

In any case, there are VERY FEW moments during the workout when I know the camera is not picking things up that I'm doing correctly. I've learned to deal with these minor annoyances because I get so much out of the workouts! It's really difficult to CHEAT with this game by trying to manipulate positions or stop moving just to try to get through a difficult routine. The camera seems to pick up EVERYTHING. I also like seeing myself on the screen because it's easier to correct something or improve it when you can actually SEE yourself doing the exercise.

I have Jillian Michael Fitness Ultimatum 2010 as well and I really like it for the strength training but when I really want to sweat and burn serious calories I go with Your Shape. I've actually become pretty addicted to doing Jenny's workout because I KNOW when I'm finished that there will be positive results.

My hope is that UBISOFT makes technical improvements to more accurately detect movement because the concepts of the game (the camera, seeing yourself on TV, the personalized workouts) are phenomenal! -- Great workout even with the technical issues! Love it!

For the price I got for this game it is a good deal. The game is fun, because unlike other Wii exercise games, Wii Shape does not require you to hold onto the Wii control while doing the workout. Holding the Wii control is bad because everytime I hold the control for a long period of time, my hand will hurt until the next day.

I enjoy how I get to see myself on the TV screen. The only negative thing about this game is there is not a lot of different routines; it gets boring if you play it everyday. That is why I have a variety of Wii exercise games. -- Great Game
