To provide context, I am in average to pretty good shape. I run 3 miles in about 11 minutes a mile and can handle a good 45 minute workout pretty well. I am totally in love with this game. My Wii is now a great workout machine with EA Sports Active and Your Shape. Some things to consider:1) Space - The game's body recognition is very picky. You do need to keep as much of your body as you can on the screen at all time. They suggest 8 to 10 feet between you and the camera. They are being very literal. I am 6 feet from the camera and definitely have some failures because my arms and my legs sometimes go outside the screen. 2) Light - The room needs to be well lit. Shadows in the workout space will confuse the camera when they cover you. 3) Tempo is important - Part of the game's finickiness is that you have to be in sync with the Jenny avatar. Falling behind and being off from the tempo will...

I've become a Wii exercise junkie. Just about everyday I work out with "My Fitness Coach", "Wii Fit Plus", and "More EA active" (I did workout with the originals but I recently upgraded). So when I found out that there was going to be a fitness program that utilized a camera to measure your proficiency, well I was thinking Flying cars just might not be that far behind. I knew it was going to be good - I mean after all, everyone learned a lesson from "Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009" . . . Right . . .Well, I got the program on release date and worked with it for about 2 hours (Set up and working out). The set up is easy. I was afraid the camera was going to utilize the motion sensor plug spot on my Wii. But no, the camera connects to the USB slot, so there's no need to be switching cables every-time I work with Your Shape. The profile set up is easy enough and of course you have to take a fitness test that gets graded...

This was a fitness game that, done properly, could have revolutionized the whole genre. At the end of the day though, Ubisoft bit off a little more than it could chew technologically. The result is a game which is nothing short of amazing when you can get it to work properly (about 35% of the time), and just plain infuriating when you can't (the other 65%).Of course, what sets this title apart from the others is the inclusion of an "Innovative Motion Tracking Camera". It turns out this is just an ordinary USB Webcam. I was disappointed that this wasn't going to be a Project Natal-like advancement in Wii gaming; on the other hand, I was happy to get a "free" Webcam I could use for my laptop. Setup is a snap. You plug the camera into a USB port on the back of your Wii. After a system update, the first thing you see is Jenny McCarthy giving a list of advice for how to maximize performance of your camera...
