    The game is very light on content, the workouts are pretty ok. Though it is seriously flawed.

    1. Whatever section of your body you choose in your daily workout, it seems to give you random workout plans. 2. The motion detection is very bad. It designed something it can't even consistently detect. It gets VERY frustrating. 3. Framerate is very bad. It lags so hard even my parents who    The game is very light on content, the workouts are pretty ok. Though it is seriously flawed.

    1. Whatever section of your body you choose in your daily workout, it seems to give you random workout plans.
    2. The motion detection is very bad. It designed something it can't even consistently detect. It gets VERY frustrating.
    3. Framerate is very bad. It lags so hard even my parents who never play video games could notice. The motion detection lags hard too, you never feel that you are working out but playing through a badly design mission.
    4. The remixes are very bad. One of them sounds like the howling of a ghost.
    5. The voice acting is irritatingly bad. The trainers talk in very high pitched voices for the duration oi the workout.

    Overall, it's fine if you are very determined to work out every day, then wait for a sale. if you are casual, then don't get it.    … Expand

    Nice idea, poor execution.

    The stretches are a waste of time, detection on the punches it totally hit and miss, the tech simply isn't capable of doing what it needs to do for this sort a game. The instructions aren't great either, the trainer gets her left and right mixed up constantly, there's barely anything about correct form and how much power to put in. It's just an injury waiting    Nice idea, poor execution.

    Does not register side step, and does not provide workarounds except cheating by shaking joycon which disrupts normal workflow. If this is a normal game software this would be perceived as a major bug.

    Sooo expensive - probably due to some licencies - yes - music is just terrible! :D
    And voice acting... :/
    Quite good fitness "game" - BUT poor content for me and motion detection very basic. I can buy full version but ONLY after 50% discount ! If the game works for you it's only your merit. You can train hard but game cant even count punches so what about calories etc? P.S. I    Sooo expensive - probably due to some licencies - yes - music is just terrible! :D

    P.S. I bought it due to cv - my gym is closed. The game is even worse... But with music off its better than nothing...    … Expand

    With a few minor tweaks to the overall approach, Fitness Boxing could have been a more engaging way to fit some exercise in. [Issue #38 – March/April 2019, p. 74]

    Fitness Boxing is a better fit for me and while I may not get the body of my dreams using it, anything is better than what I'm working with now.

    Fitness Boxing is an interesting title compared to others of the same genre but, despite having really bright spots, it does not meet the expectations that the title itself generates in users.
