The Biggest Loser: Ultimate Workout - Xbox 360

I liked the options available for different types of workouts but it takes to long on loading a "quick workout". Overall a good game for cardio and core workouts.

Great game and good choice of work outs with it. Make sure you have enough room before you start the game requires a lot of stepping and moving.

I just picked this up today and overall it is a good game. The price was right for getting my first exercise video game. My major problems with the game are the controls and the workflow through the menus. Once you are recognized by Kinect and signed into your profile, you can't jump out, and have somebody else jump in and have it load their profile. They would still be exercising on your profile. You have to exit the game and reload the disc to have somebody else use their profile. Entering in your weight and other numbers is a pain because of the controls. You can't use a regular controller and to move the numbers in small increments can make you feel like banging your head up against the wall. The body analyzer is not very accurate either, it didn't get my height right even after 3 times trying and moving around the room to make the camera see me better. One time it told me I had a 256" neck. (I don't by the way) You can manually enter in your height and dimensions though if you are not happy with the analyzer results. However, once you are setup and are actually doing the workouts it's pretty cool. There is a LOT of variety in the types of exercise routines and the way it constantly monitors you to make sure you are doing them correctly is a big help. Some other review complained that you can't stop in the middle of the workout but that's not true. If you do the 'pause stance' where you look like Daria and just hold out one hand, the game will pause and you can exit to the main menu. In addition to the recommended fitness plan you can do like a "Quickplay" of any exercise routine whenever you want or even customize your own. You can also do Challenges where they make the workouts feel more like a game. The game can also track your calorie intake, if you feel like keeping track, and will give you general health and diet advice.

I love the different routines and the fact that you can use equiments. My only issue with the game are the controls and the workflow through the menus.

Very impressive game. You never know when you get these games if it's appropriate for your fitness and skill level. What is great is that there is a fitness evaluation they lead you through to determine a safe appropriate starting place. ( I'm sure the makers would still recommend getting a doctor's approval before doing this or any workout program). It offers lifestyle solutions and is very encouraging. Very cool. Also this being a kinect game,it keeps track of 48 points on your body and can tell if you are doing the movements correctly. You may as well have Bob from the show right there in your living room!

I bought this game thinking I would be able to get a few light workouts in when I did not feel like going to the gym. However, this game is pretty solid in giving a range of workouts from light warm ups to intense make sweat boot camp style! It really is like a having a personal trainer in your house with you. If you are a competitive person than this works to your advantage as it corrects your motion by calling you out. Nothing mean but if you are doing squats and not getting low enough your score will go down as well as a the on-screen promt turning red. I know it pushed me to make sure I was doing it correctly. The controls are a bit tricky, especially when entering height, weight, age and other things like that. Overall this game is great, it really does work you out, as long as you put in the work.

I have not used any of the other fitness games for the kinect so I can't really compare but the Biggest Loser game is great. The game itself really works you hard and if you don't end the sessions without breaking a sweat you just aren't trying hard enough. The only real issue I have is that is seems like the Kinect does not always follow you movements as well as it should so it will affect your rep count. Other than that I am really liking this so far.

I believe this is an amazing game! I have done some of the other workout games and this one is definitely the best thus far. It works you hard and pushes you to do better. It is honestly like having your own personal trainer in your home. It all depends on which training personality you like the best. Bob is definitely motivational and Jillian pushes you hard. Overall, great game. Only thing is the kinect doesn't always track your movements properly, but if you are using it as a workout and not a game it really doesn't matter. As long as you are working hard and attempting all the moves you will get a great work out.
