Xbox Fitness
SCORE: 76
I love fitness games. I love getting
exercise while gaming. It is one of the good sides of video games. There
is plenty of competition when it comes to exercise video games. Xbox
Fitness gets some things right, and some things drastically wrong.
Xbox Fitness is free to download and start to exercise with the free
work outs. As long as you have Xbox Live Gold. So you have to be using a
short term free card or pay $60.00 a year. Not exactly my definition of
free. If you do not have Xbox Live Gold you can pay an insane amount of
money for specific work outs. For example I saw one for $29.99. The same
kind of a work out DVD can be purchased for between $5.00 and $10.00 at
a store. The tracking is not going to be worth that much to families.
The work outs in Xbox Fitness range. Most of them are intense, tough,
and will help you lose weight. The trainers are encouraging, and very
positive. The game uses the Kinect sensor to help you improve your form,
and get the best work out you can. I was sweating and out of breath
after almost every work out.
Xbox Fitness streams the data into your home over the Internet. Our
modem rebooted, and I lost connection during one work out. The game
stopped and would not let me continue playing. Which is really lame in
my opinion. I prefer to have a game on a disc or cartridge where I can
continue playing.
The men and women wear exercise apparel in Xbox Fitness. Many of the
women are wearing very little. In fact there are images of women in
bikinis in Xbox Fitness. Somehow the ESRB was unable to find the words
enticement to lust, or partial nudity to describe Xbox Fitness. Not even
their weak Suggestive Themes descriptor. It should not surprise me since
finding the mistakes of the ESRB is becoming common place here at Family
Friendly Gaming. The ESRB lost all credibility with us.
