This is the latest in what will undoubtedly be a long line of fitness-focused games for Kinect. It offers everything from martial arts and tai chi to yoga, and there’s the possibility of even more downloadable workouts. There are mini games that involve exercises such as balancing and punching blocks on the screen. The sensor tracks multiple points all over your body, enough to ensure there’s little, if any, lag and no scope for cheating. Your body appears alongside the trainer’s on screen, so you can see exactly what you’re doing. And because it tracks your movement so accurately, the game will correct you if your form is anything less than perfect – even if you don’t squat low enough or lean too far forward performing a move. When you do it right, you rack up the scores, and you can upload your progress to the game’s website.
