Product Description |
Your Shape is fitness that’s fun and focused on you. Developed in collaboration with fitness experts, Your Shape personalizes a fitness program to your body type, goals and schedule. The game comes with a motion-tracking camera in the package. Plug the camera into your PC and you’re ready to go! The camera scans your body so your every move can be detected and guided. Jenny McCarthy is your in-game workout buddy – she will motivate, inspire, and guide you as you work to reach your goals, while keeping things fun (and funny) along the way. Since the game detects your movements, Jenny can coach you as you work out to ensure you’re doing the exercises correctly. Fitness has never been this personalized or this much fun!

 Great exercise game for the PC!!! |
| Review Date: January 5, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Katrina, |
| I just got Your Shape for the PC a couple of days ago. You do need a lot of space for this game. Ubisoft recommends 8-10 feet. I have a laptop, so I can move around if I need to. If you have a computer, it would be harded. Your clothes should stand out from your background otherwise the camera may not recognize you. You do have to do exactly what Jenny Mccarthy does on the game otherwise it will tell you to watch your arms, legs, or just to keep moving. I was waiting for a review but since I couldn't find a review, I bought it to try it. The only place that I could find it at a store was at BestBuy. Amazon, Target, and BestBuy.com has Your Shape for the PC online. I would recommend this product. |
Go with the Wii version

| This is a great fitness game. It's a lot more interesting than following boring workout videos, and Jenny McCarthy is bubbly and adorable. But, the specifications for the PC version are too complicated. I have an up-to-date computer (a Sony VAIO), and the game was not compatible with my graphics card. I recommend just going with the Wii version. |
Minimum Requirements Finally Met

| Review Date: December 25, 2009 |
| Reviewer: MisteRed, Readfield, WI |
I updated my rating. I was able to get everything working, but not until I went and found a different video driver. I also updated another drive, but don not remember which one. For some reason the game still tells me I do not have enough RAM, but it's working so I won't worry about it anymore. We only tried the exercises a few times so not much for a review.
I cannot get the included video camera to work and the install says I do not meet minimum system requirements. When I click on the game the screen flickers and then goes black. Closing with task managers is the only way out.

BEWARE OF SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS!
|
| Review Date: January 7, 2010 |
| Reviewer: H. Peters, |
BEWARE OF SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS! This game is not compatible with many basic household computers or business laptops. It requires a higher end video card, the type that is found in computers designed for gamers. I tried to install the game on a high end Sony Viao laptop and on a Lenovo desktop without any luck - both times I got an error informing me that my computers did not meet system requirements. Eventually, I had to purchase a new video card for the Lenovo to get it to work. That was a nightmare because it was a "low profile" computer and most of the video cards that were compatible with the game did not physically fit in the computer. Even when I found a "low profile" video card, it was still too wide. Eventually I found one on the internet. At least the folks who answer the help line for the game were actually helpful and spoke clear English.
Once you get it working the camera is very cool, but does have problems seeing your arms as another reviewer mentioned. |
Not all it's cracked up to be

Honestly I was so excited to get this game and it was such a let down, maybe the Wii version is different but most of the time, the "trainer" couldn't see my arms. I changed rooms, lighting, clothing and got the same results everytime. Also the game locked up a couple of times and lost all info that I had ever exercised. The trainer would ask which area I wanted to target, no matter which body part I chose, the routine was always the same.
Great idea, needs alot more work! |
