EyeToy: Kinetic

EyeToy: Kinetic (PS2)

Strengths: (1) Provides a variety of exercises and challenges (2) Many of the sessions do really make you breathe hard and sweat (3) Great bodypart-specific toning routines

Weakness: (1) Some of the aerobic types of sessions are best done alone if you are moderately easy to embarrass (i.e. you will look silly doing some of these exercises)

EyeToy: Kinetic is a pretty fun way to get a moderately good workout. Some of the boxing type of sessions can really get you breathing hard and the routines that target specific bodyparts (such as the ab routine) are challenging and work well. Also included in the routines (though optional) are stretches and warm ups that prep you for the harder exercises. The game acts as somewhat of a personal...

EyeToy: Kinetic is a pretty fun way to get a moderately good workout. Some of the boxing type of sessions can really get you breathing hard and the routines that target specific bodyparts (such as the ab routine) are challenging and work well. Also included in the routines (though optional) are stretches and warm ups that prep you for the harder exercises. The game acts as somewhat of a personal trainer as you can select your goals and level of challenge and let it track you day-by-day, week-by-week, etc. as you continually add more challenge to your routines and push for not missing a planned workout day. I have used the game much in the winter time when there is less of a variety of exercise opportunities readily available on the homefront. During the summer, I will choose to run outside and lift weights more often but I still use the game for what I think is an excellent abdominal routine. Like the ab routine, I believe one of the major successes of this game is getting someone to complete a 30 minute workout of effective exercises that they might not have the motivation to do on their own.

Eye Toy: Kinetic (PS2)

Strengths: Exercise routine, newer USB Camera

Weakness: Not very responsive, slow load time

I purchased this hoping for a good workout and some fun. It was fun at first since you can have a personal trainer and work on certain areas. Nike has a part in this game too. The load times were longer than I liked and the camera recognition was poor. If you have low lighting in your living room, the camera will not pick up the image well. Kinetic comes with a snap on adapter for the USB Camera...

Kinetic comes with a snap on adapter for the USB Camera for a wider view (needed for the game). I got Kinetic for the NEWER Silver PS2 Eye Toy camera. What's nice is it does work for your PC as a webcam with a built-in microphone.

Pick this up for the camera, but don't expect much of a work out.
