As the first games are being developed for this new gaming platform, it looks as though an important part of the initial projects will be fitness oriented games. It’s easy to see why this trend has appeared since the controller for the Kinect is actually the player’s own body movement.
One of the most talked about fitness games for Kinect is Your Shape Fitness Evolved which has recently been launched by the game developer Ubisoft. With this game, you will be put physically inside the game environment where you are free to play and interact. Initially the game scans your body and it then adapts everything to it, including the game menus. Your Shape Fitness Evolved gives you the opportunity of having a personal trainer or to take on classes like martial arts or yoga.
Another very unique new game made especially for the Kinect Xbox 360 is Zumba Fitness, which is based on improving the users fitness with the help of intense dance workouts. The player can choose from several dance styles like Reggaeton, Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Hip-Hop, Mambo, Rumba, Flamenco and Calypso. This dance game is suitable for anyone, even if you’re a complete novice. This is one solid fitness program that will burn more calories per hour than you’d have imagined.
