Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise

SCORE: 60

I am extremely disappointed with Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise on the Nintendo Switch. The video I did of Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise should be online before this review is. You can see in that video I do the punches at the right time just the way the game says to do them and they do not register. The game says miss or okay. I never found any rhyme or reason to when they would accurately report and when they would not. I even tried a different set of joycons later. I did some research and found the first Fitness Boxing had the same problem. Why can’t Nintendo fix it in this franchise?

Nintendo has a long history of making good exercise games. From Wii Fit to RingFit Adventure. Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise is too glitchy and does not provide a good full body workout. Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise focuses on the upper body way too much. I tried to play Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise on a legs day and it gave me little leg workout. I never had those problems with RingFit Adventure. Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise is not worth the price of admissions in my personal and professional opinion.

I turned the music off on the video because I wanted to try and avoid any potential copyright issues. There are plenty of well known songs within Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise. They are done in the instrumental style so families can avoid offensive lyrics. Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise tries to have high energy music that goes along with the beat of the punches. There are numerous different instructors players can select. Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise can be played for daily exercise and free play. Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise grades the player on how well they did based on the inaccurate controls.

There is a lack of attire, and enticement to lust issue within Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise. Two family members can struggle with Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise together. Hopefully this glitchy franchise will retire quietly. Obviously enough people missed our review of the first game. Hopefully enough families will have learned from that lesson and/or read this review and know to avoid Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise like the plague.

I wanted to like Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise so badly. I wanted this franchise to have been fixed. Sadly Fitness Boxing 2 Rhythm & Exercise is a glitchy mess like the first game. Please avoid purchasing this video game and make the industry a better place.
