Great exercise game for the PC!!!
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...

BEWARE OF SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS!
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...

Great exercise game for the PC!!!, January 4, 2010
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.

BEWARE OF SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS!, January 6, 2010
Fun:
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.

Not all it's cracked up to be, January 5, 2010
Fun:
This review is from: Your Shape (DVD-ROM)
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!

Go with the Wii version, January 16, 2010
Fun:
This review is from: Your Shape (DVD-ROM)
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.

Video Card Requirements, January 7, 2010
Fun:
This review is from: Your Shape (DVD-ROM)
Be Very sure your laptop has either ATI Radeon Card, Nvidia GeForce Card or Nvidia Quadrocard as well as a Shader Model 3.0 or higher. I have a Dell pc and its video card is Mobile IntelR 965 Express Chipset Family. I am not a Gamer - just middle aged wife looking for something to help lose some weight, get in shape, and not interrupt my hubby while he's watching tv. I knew I had a video card but had no idea this was going to take a heavy duty video card. Even after installing, I figured I'd just update the video card - but when I called Dell, they told me my videocard is a permanent attachment on my motherboard, and the only way to upgrade is to totally rebuild the entire pc. UGH - what a disappointment! So, I'm sending it back, and will purchase WII Fit Plus. Hubby will just have to share the tv :)

does not work. do not buy., June 25, 2010
Fun:
This review is from: Your Shape (DVD-ROM)
This game looks like alot of fun, and I'm sure it would be a great way to excersize, if you could get it working. I have a Windows XP and a Vista. It does not work on either. In order to run this game, you have to have the absolute latest in technology and an absurd ammount of space and memory. It is not worth the dissapointment of discovering that the only platform able to run this game costs thousands of dollars. DO NOT BUY IT.

Forget it, June 13, 2010
Fun:
This review is from: Your Shape (DVD-ROM)
What a hassle. By the time you're set up, you've killed your workout time. And, you better have a big room. You'll need it to get the camera working properly. I prefer the DVDs I've purchased (which are much cheaper too). Also, I belong to a great website that is free and tracks all your progress, food, nutritional value etc. This product is just way too much trouble for the same results you can get elsewhere.

Very Frustrating, March 15, 2010
Fun:
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.

Watch out for system requirements, February 15, 2010
This review is from: Your Shape (DVD-ROM)
OK - I got caught. I had a friend get this for her WII and liked it. We looked on Amazon and there were no system requirements and my system is Vista Home Premium and about 1 year old.
Imagine my surprise when it would not work because I didn't have the right video card!! And something else called a shader.
Mind you, I was a computer programmer for 25 years. If I don't understand what they tell me I need, how about the novice computer user!!
Mine is on its way back to Amazon and I am really disappointed.

Requirements too HIGH, February 13, 2010
Fun:
This review is from: Your Shape (DVD-ROM)
I purchased the PC version of "Your Shape" as one of my wife's Christmas gifts. Nowhere on Amazon's website are the system requirements for this game. I figured my wife's computer laptop is 1 year old, running Vista, so I figured there should be no problems. I went ahead and tried to load it and it would not run saying the video card did not reach the requirements. The video cards that it requires are video cards that gamers typically use, wrong target audience UBISOFT. Most people who are going to use this program are going to have an ordinary computer, not a game machine. Very disappointed!
