5.0 out of 5 stars Great exercise game for the PC!!!, January 4, 2010

By 

Katrina - See all my reviews

This review is from: Your Shape (DVD-ROM)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Frustrating, March 15, 2010

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Your Shape (DVD-ROM)

I too was so excited to get this game. I bought the Wii version and had no trouble running the program or getting it to work on my TV. The fist time I used it, it seemed to work fine, although it didn't create the individualized workout that I wanted it to. I figured it was user error since I was new to the software. But just as another has said, it wasn't me...no matter which areas I targeted, it always had the same workout. Also, the first time I used it, it said I was doing fine and said I was working out at about 85% intensity. Each workout after that, my workout intensity decreased all the way down to 38% - no matter what I did. It kept telling me, "Watch your arms. Do what I do." and I was doing nothing different from the first time so why such a low rating? I changed clothing colors, lighting, camera angles, etc and no matter what, it couldn't "see" what I was doing. I go so frustrated that I just stopped. Now the camera is pointed at the money jar at my office snack bar so maybe the fund won't get ripped off like I did buying this software. At least I'm getting some use out of it.

2.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE OF SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS!, January 6, 2010

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Your Shape (DVD-ROM)

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.
