Note: I will be review this slightly different compared to other reviews as this is a kinect game and has no story because it is a fitness trainer. Sorry.

Training aspects

It is a great game that offers a great gym alternative. With this game you are able to enjoy yourself but actually lose weight. Look online and you will find examples of people losing a lot of weight using this game. So if you want to have fun and enjoy yourself, then this game is for you. The training is well thought of and featured into the kinect well, the training varies by doing intense workouts and small less intense workouts. There is also fitness training from the punching and fighting training which is good if you wish to loose weight too! begins by asking for your Age, Height and Weight etc, Fitness test, You then get a variety of workouts and training programs ranging from 30 to 60 days or daily. With UFC branding, the NASM support, and modern motion devices, you would think UFC Personal Trainer was on the road to a clear victory. ut there are many confusing problems here that smash the hard work that went into UFC Personal Trainer. he best way to describe the design is to say this Welcome to the thunder dome! this really does build up momentum when planning to train.

Kinect vs other motion controls

The Kinect version is the massive winner between the two platforms, even if the tech isn't 100% perfect. Most of the upper body routines work amazingly well, but floor work, like sit-ups is unreliable. Kinect would lose sight of me even if I was in full view of the sensor, which can ruin the stages of your workout. When things are running smoothly, however, UFC Personal Trainer Kinect is a handy tool for tracking your reps and getting an estimate of the calories you've burned.

Graphics

UFC Personal Trainer isn't the most exciting title, visually. Backgrounds are boring and the trainers look not quite right. Animations repeat often enough to notice, but remembering it's a kinect game some bad points can be closed off because there are some good visual aspects of it with the crowd and applicabilities of the bag. It can be improved but there isn't much to say on this occasion.

Social Networking

You can upload your scores to Facebook and Twitter. This is great for trying to show off your skills, or display your improvements. I find it quite funny when all my friends scored are 20 below me which is great for finding the alpha male in the group! Game on! With a competitive scoring system which allows you and others to beat out the current high score record, this is great too!
