The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout 

 

The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout mixes a fantastic franchise with the Kinect on the Xbox 360. The one knock against exercise games on the Wii is it is easy to cheat. People that do so are only cheating themselves. Since Kinect follows the skeleton of the player, there is no way to cheat while playing The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout. The end result is I got the most intense video game work out I have ever gotten.

The majority of the visuals in The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout are all about exercise. There are some really cool images of healthy food. The core of the exercises in The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout is following along the motions of the trainer. This can be difficult at times, and requires the player to pay close attention to their motions. It took my wife to comment on the attire of the female trainer because I was concentrating on doing the exercises right.

The microphone aspect of Kinect is used perfectly in The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout. I could tell the game I needed a water break, or I was doing okay with the exercises. This is a fantastic feature, but I found myself even more impressed with the trainers. They were very encouraging, and challenging. I found myself getting tired during certain exercises and their comments fired me up to continue on.

If you are serious about losing weight, and living a healthier lifestyle then The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout will help you. This Xbox 360 game has become a part of my normal exercise regiment. I can see myself playing this game for years. There are over one hundred and twenty exercises, and fifty new recipes. I would have liked some more recipes, but that is okay.

The gameplay is where The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout really shines. Kinect does a wonderful job of reading my movements. The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout will tell you to lift your leg higher, take shorter steps, or other helpful advice. The exercise aspect of The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout is amazing, and is helping me live a better life. The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout is a lot of fun, and there are plenty of personalized regiments in this home console game.

I love games that help us improve ourselves. The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout is one such game. There is a new king of the exercise video games and it is The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout. I hope THQ continues this franchise on the Xbox 360, because Kinect is the best way to exercise. Yoga is included in this game, but it is mainly stretches. I will be recommending The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout to family, friends, and pastors I know personally. It was my joy and pleasure to be able to play and review this Xbox 360 game. Now if you will excuse me I need to take a shower.
