    Over priced; Unrefined; Weak as workout. The game gets really easy really fast. It's basically like going on a walk in terms of workouts. The levels that require more moving are the most frustrating because the game barely picks up the motions. Not worth the price. Should be a $15-20 game at the most.

    Pro: Good workout (for a while at least)
    Con: Terrible hit detection beyond the basic moves. Whoever thought detecting steps with your feet via JoyCons in your hand needs to be fired.

    The games not too bad.
    Good workout, but could do with a few things improved, hopefully the sequel has these issues worked out.
    1. hit detection, it needs work, i miss way too many punches due to the hit not registering. 2. because your not hitting something its easy to over extend or throw poorly pulling your shoulder or elbow, it needs a disclaimer or something suggesting you take    The games not too bad.

    2. because your not hitting something its easy to over extend or throw poorly pulling your shoulder or elbow, it needs a disclaimer or something suggesting you take care when throwing.

    Price adjustment too, there is no need for this to be a full priced title, if they had not licensed real music for the backing, it likely would have been cheaper.

    The games worth the investment for a workout title, but only at a deep discount, and now that number 2 is out, can probably skip this all together now, or get ring fit.    … Expand

    Good to break sweat. Game wise for the point and stars, can forget it. The movement pick up by the system is a totally fraud.

    When it comes down to it, Fitness Boxing isn’t a revelation. It takes a simple boxing workout and adds a layer of sparkle. The instructors do their best to motivate as familiar but cheesy music plays throughout but that’s about all it does. It just about does the job but your money would be best invested in the Ring fit.

    Fitness is there, but entertainment?

    Playing is boring. On the one hand, there is too little music, and on the other hand, the coaching system is too monotonous. Hope the second generation can be improved.

    A very good fitness simulator with progress, causing motivation to enter it every day

    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.
