Your Shape: Fitness Evolved

It's not a complete trainer replacement, but it's the next best thing.

Your Shape is truly Fitness Evolved in not only name, but in nature as well, and it presents a great opportunity for people to workout in their own homes with their own fitness tracker and personal trainer. I find it hard to believe that it will replace gyms and your general workout regime for anyone who is currently active already in these fields, but it makes a perfect supplement, and for those who want to do more, this is the perfect tool.

It's a highly recommended piece of software and one that does a great job of showcasing Kinect's ability to go beyond the game.

Your Shape won't replace a real-life personal trainer, but it does delivers as close an experience as you can get, in the comfort of your (hopefully Kinect-sized) game room - and that's no easy feat.

Your Shape Fitness Evolved is the best workout game to date and an excellent choice for Kinect owners this holiday.

Your Shape: Fitness Evolved won't replace your professional fitness membership. However, as a well-thought out complement to your sedentary gaming habits, what Ubisoft offers is worth the detour.

The end result is a solid exercise simulator for the more determined work-out fiends.

If you have enough space in your living room, Your Shape: Fitness Evolved is simply the best fitness game you can get today on consoles. KINECT offers a whole new dimension to these fitness exercises, with an impressive accuracy of the the motion recognition, and live corrections from your virtual trainer... There is no room for cheating here! We'd have loved more customization options, maybe a little bit more exercises, but the experience here is really surpassing any other similar product we've experienced before in the genre.

There's not a staggering amount of content here, but there's plenty of unique things to do here to keep you busy during your workout though. There's not enough of a "game" to subtly convince you to continue on.

Even though a membership card at your local gym is still the best solution to a healthier life, Your Shape: Fitness Evolved turns out to be a very good alternative that will help you get into better shape and improve your condition.

The first attempt to use Kinect against the extra weight is really good. Your Shape: Fitness Evolved is a great way to train yourself at home. The "no controller" experience is perfect for this kind of training games, and the good quality and variety of the training programs are really important for the final result.

It's not likely that Your Shape will or should replace an actual in-the-gym routine, but it's a great supplement and a step in the right direction for the more sedentary gamers among us.

Your Shape: Fitness Evolved is a title that will require a lot of determination, but if you put in that time and effort, you will see the results.

Even if it's only the first rung on the evolution ladder, Your Shape: Fitness Evolved shows off excellent potential for the Kinect and the future of fitness games.

Certainly, fitness has evolved in this first exergaming title for Kinect, but it has been thanks to the technology, and not for any additional software effort. Fitness Evolved is a good demonstration of what Kinect is able to achieve, and is a good fitness title, but we think it could have been better.

It isn't quite perfect and has a number of other launch fitness titles to compete with, but as it stands if you feel the pounds are piling on or if you want to complement your gym visits or daily exercise, Your Shape is the perfect way to feel happy and healthy this winter.
