In case your new to the ps2 eye toy. It is one cool toy. THis is the perfect entry into the eye toy market as well. Kenetic is lots of fun, and you get a great workout. Best of all, you get feedback as to how well you are doing. I am talking stats as to how well you performed today and relative to other outings. All in all it is a great purchase. The camera is placed on top of your tv, and then projects your image onto the screen. Throughout the game you have to do various tasks with your body to move objects around on the screen. This is worth it if you are looking for a solid title for the eye toy, or if you are just looking for a great workout.

This review is from: Eye Toy Kinetic With Camera (Video Game)

I bought this game not as a video game but so I could have my own personal trainer without paying for a gym membership. I am two weeks into my 12 week routine and I LOVE it. The software is very well done and it really does have "real time feedback." If I'm leaning forward when I'm not suppose to while doing an exercise the trainer will say "try standing up straight." I am definitely getting a great work out. 10 more weeks and I'll let you know if it did any good or not. So far it seems to be helping.

I love that it builds on itself so that by week 12 you are doing more routines that are more intense. The one drawback is the camera is really sensitive - I have to make my kids leave the room because if they walk around in the background it picks up their movements and lowers my score.

If you hate the gym but have always wanted your own personal trainer "Kinetic" seems to be the way to go!

5.0 out of 5 stars Total body work out, without the high monthly fees of a gym., January 5, 2006

Got this for Christmas and absolutely love it! It works for everyone on any work out level, even for beginners.

There are two types of work out:

1. Routine Builder - basically you are on your own you get to pick exercises you are interested in.
2. Personal Trainer - basically you follow a 12 week program. It tracks your progress, it tells you when it is your rest day to avoid over exhaustion, it has a guide/advice on proper posture, breathing and technique. It has a good amount of stretching exercises in the beginning and end of each sessions. It even enhances balance of mind and body...very much like yoga. It also combines fluid movements like Tai Chi, rhythmic dance moves and kick boxing moves.

Needless to say, I love this game! If you're looking for a good sweat without the high fees of the gym, this is the game for you.
