   I love it, first time a fitness game is actually fun and it's due to the graphics and the fact that a bunch weird stuff are happening while you play (never thought i could do a push ups carrying so much stuff on my back).
   
   In the end the fun makes it easy to practice for longer than you would actually do if you were exercising listening to the radio and staring at the walls.
   
   Even my girlfriend loves it and i'm pretty hyped about it because i see it as a way to get her to start playing and enjoying video games a bit more.
   
   I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as i do.… Expand

   I know it's not a technical marvel of a game - it kind of reminds me of Sesame Kinect that my kids used to play. I picked up the game a year ago, and kept it stowed away. A recent physcial showed I am borderline diabetes, so I decided to dust this off and give it a go. 4 weeks in, with a change of diet and this I'm already down 12lbs. I've slowly gotten better with each passing training session. For a guy who wouldn't do aerobics in the gym, because let's face it, a fat guy doing aerobics is an eye sore.
   
   I've tried other workout programs in the past (Wii Fit for example). This one seems more fun and keeps me focused. It beats the elliptical, which usually has be bored to tears at this point. All in all, I think Shape Up is a great way to get into a daily exercise regimen. It may not be suited for those looking for an extreme workout - but I don't think that's what it's aimed at. My only concern is I see no real new content for it since I bought it a while back. I'm sure eventually it will get boring - but by then maybe I will be ready for a higher level routine.… Expand

   Just downoaded the patch... everything is working fine now. The game is awesome! The challenges are dope and the workouts are LEGIT. TheJust downoaded the patch... everything is working fine now. The game is awesome! The challenges are dope and the workouts are LEGIT. The Kinect tracks me and my two year old daughter flawlessly.
   
   My only gripes are that the subscription service is EXPENSIVE... and DLC should be FREE, seeing that there aren't many mini games to begin with. Also, there is a bit of input lag on some challenges. "Waterfall Jump" and "Piano Step" are almost impossible to perfect because of this.
   
   But overall, I can't complain too much. This game does what it's supposed to do… Expand

   the game is fun and it has a lot of different games that builds up for an amusing work.
   Cons: the Kinnect motion capture is slow, and the Glitches, the one that didn't let the game start and sometimes it throw you back to the dashboard in the middle of game.
   Ii is a real shame that we as users have to test various tricks to try and bypass the glitches in what should be a full working release game.
   
   Thanks for the note "RetroWhatWhat", didn't know Kinnect was necessary, must have been playing Just dance14-15, Xbox fitness and Zumba in front of the mirror. Who would have thought?… Expand

When online, it crashes at the game's main menu, or after a couple of challenges. The ingame link to the Shape Up Coach website service is broken. It just leads me to the XBox Store. I made the mistake of buying the 3 month sub for the service when the website won't even let me log in or sync with my game. For the game crashing issue, check out the troubleshooting I've already done for this game. http://1drv.ms/1t0OT4P
   
   Been working with Xbox Support and Shape Up Support for the past several days and Xbox has given up and pointed me to Shape Up Support, while Shape Up Support keeps on telling me that they've fixed the issue already. The game is still crashing, and I still can't log in or sync with their $30 Coach addon. Only way I can play this is with my profile offline. I've already tried deleting my save data to start fresh, still crashes when online.
   
   I'll update this review if they fix these issues. >.… Expand
