Finally! Exercise is fun!

Finally a way to get exercise that is fun -- instead of focusing on how many calories you have burned or how many miles you have run to "no where" on a treadmill, you're focusing on ducking, kicking, and hitting things on the screen ... along with other exercises. It's like having a personal trainer in your living room whenever you want to to him/her on! Make sure you have plenty of space to exercise in though. You need enough room to stand in one spot and kick and hit on both sides of you, with plenty of room between you and the tv. Overall, love it!

I actually tell my kids... go play your video game. The amount of fun, physical activity and workout my kids get out of this game is amazing!!! My kids and I have a tournament several nights a week to see who can beat who. This video game actually has a purpose... unbelievable but true

Jump and go!

While it IS fun....it takes so great alignment to make it work almost as well as you expect....plus you need SPACE to move. Keeping those in mind, it's fun!! Also don't buy it without having a memory card.

Very Cool!

While not as intense a workout as going to an actual gym, this game gave me a decent amount of exercise every day. But the best part is being able to play games while getting your exercise at the same time! It made my workout fun, which I can't usually say about exercise in general. The "grades" you get for each workout day were also a good motivator to exercise every day, though there is some flexibility in which days you exercise, so you can fit it into your schedule better. Overall, the game/program is very well designed. The exercises were low impact enough that even though I got pregnant partway through the 12 week course, I was able to continue with the program. The only complaint I have is that the eyetoy camera that comes with this game has a special attachment to view your entire body. I didn't realize this beforehand, so I bought a game without the camera (since I already had an eyetoy). You can't purchase the attachment separately; at least, not that I could find. Thus, I had to stand a long way from the TV to be in the right position for the exercises. But it worked okay for me. The eyetoy is a great idea, but only a couple of games have been developed that really take full advantage of this tool. This game is one of them, and I highly recommend it, especially for the exercise-impaired, like me.

Woo ! Feel the Burn ! (>o<)

Wow ! I thought the EyeToy Play 2 was intense you get this game going and you're up for some sweating and calorie burning for sure. It's a great way to shed some pounds and I'm hoping to save up for a bigger TV so I can do this daily cuz I really need to shed pounds and maybe this can help. It's a lot of fun too. I recommend it !!!

I love the EyeToy and Kinetic - great for someone like me who needs motivation, but does not like to leave the house and hit the gym.

HOWEVER.... DO NOT LOSE the extra Lens that comes with Kinetic for the EyeToy as you can't get a replacement for it ANYWHERE! Sony has been NO HELP at all. And I just can't focus the camera without it. So very sad - so I am watching eBay for cheap versions of the game, just to get a replacement lens. They REALLY need to make this lens available as an accessory to purchase on it's own.

Fun, fun, fun! (but with drawbacks)

The biggest drawback to this game is that it requires a large room in order to get a good workout. If you stand too close to the camera, then you don't need to jump or reach at all during the game. I solved this problem to some extent by mounting the camera high on the wall and pointing it downwards, but of course that makes the angle a bit wonky.

This game consists of lots of little mini-games, mainly involving bobbles on the screen which do various things, and you either have to hit or dodge. It's more fun than it sounds. It does an excellent job of adjusting to your current ability level and gives you a nice validation of how well you did and how you're progressing.

It doesn't work perfectly, though, whether it's due to bugs or camera problems. A bobble you were supposed to dodge will often get dinged when you were nowhere near it and sometimes you have to hit a bobble over and over before it actually registers. It works more often than not, though, and overall it's a fun way to work out.
