Instead of tracking your feet’s motions on a dance mat, the Kinect tracks your entire body. Not as good as Dance Central, but not a bad workout either. Rating by steve: 3.5 stars Konami pretty much invented the dance genre game with Dance Dance Revolution. In many [ Read More ]

Today, Majesco announced that in November it will be releasing Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure exclusively for the Kinect, coinciding with the release of other upcoming Kinect games announced recently. To be blunt, Jillian has had an awful history of releasing games on the Wii, with the horrific Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatums 2009, 2010, and 2011.

Still, it provides some good fun in groups and a decent workout. Rating by steve: 3.0 stars Dance Paradise by THQ was one of the first dance games out for the Kinect, [ Read More ]

UFC Personal Trainer A truly exhaustive and exhausting workout that’s perfect for UFC fans. UFC Personal Trainer easily takes the title of “most strenuous Xbox Fitness title”. It features workout routines by several UFC mixed martial arts stars which are well-scripted from warm-up exercises to cool-down stretches, although some of the exercises may be a little too intense for some.
