    Every fitness game claims to make keep-fit fun, but Shape Up actually succeeds.

    Content volume is light, though, meaning long-term appeal is limited to multiplayer. [Issue#119, p.74]

    Its silly approach to fitness is amusing, but there isn't enough here to hold attention for an extended period of time, let alone train you up for a marathon. [Issue#156, p.121]

    Behind the quirky and irresistible zany arcade mask lies a fitness game that proves to be demanding (in more than a way), questionable and even shaky tech-wise: the intentions might be good, the results not so much.

    In all, Shape Up is a cool concept that doesn’t have nearly enough going for it to keep players hooked long term.

    I know it's not a technical marvel of a game - it kind of reminds me of Sesame Kinect that my kids used to play. I picked up the game a year ago, and kept it stowed away. A recent physcial showed I am borderline diabetes, so I decided to dust this off and give it a go. 4 weeks in, with a change of diet and this I'm already down 12lbs. I've slowly gotten better with each passing training session. For a guy who wouldn't do aerobics in the gym, because let's face it, a fat guy doing aerobics is an eye sore.

    I've tried other workout programs in the past (Wii Fit for example). This one seems more fun and keeps me focused. It beats the elliptical, which usually has be bored to tears at this point. All in all, I think Shape Up is a great way to get into a daily exercise regimen. It may not be suited for those looking for an extreme workout - but I don't think that's what it's aimed at. My only concern is I see no real new content for it since I bought it a while back. I'm sure eventually it will get boring - but by then maybe I will be ready for a higher level routine.    … Full Review »

    BRO !!! Do you even Shape up ?!?!?

    I love it, first time a fitness game is actually fun and it's due to the graphics and the fact that a    BRO !!! Do you even Shape up ?!?!?

    I love it, first time a fitness game is actually fun and it's due to the graphics and the fact that a bunch weird stuff are happening while you play (never thought i could do a push ups carrying so much stuff on my back).

    In the end the fun makes it easy to practice for longer than you would actually do if you were exercising listening to the radio and staring at the walls.

    Even my girlfriend loves it and i'm pretty hyped about it because i see it as a way to get her to start playing and enjoying video games a bit more.

    I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as i do.    … Full Review »
