There’s still a good fitness game here, but it’s not enough to push anybody that isn’t new to fitness and feels stifled by a lack of more in-depth options around the difficulty. Surprisingly, this style actually works for a couple songs and some are still fun to box to, though I honestly can’t wait to listen to the original version of Y. As the Daily Workouts trickle in new movements, you’ll get a chance to see a close-up and written breakdown of how the punch works.

As mentioned before, you can unlock more gear, such as gloves, glasses, and clothing, which helps you customize them to your liking. For that reason, this followup title is also a bit of a letdown… but I understand why it’s important to prioritize the commands of the trainer rather than the lyrics of the included songs. The game is broken down into drills of 8-11 minutes in length you string together to form the free workout. On higher difficulty levels, the training can be a bit intense, especially for those that are not in the best of shape. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

From January 7, 2019, to January 13, Fitness Boxing placed 20th on Japanese sales charts, selling 3,024 physical copies during that period. When you go to a Gym class - you just follow the instructor - you don't get a score - think of it like that! When it comes to the trainers, they have slightly different personalities, but the diversity is pretty minimal and not something that got me overly excited. You can change various settings such as which parts of the body you want to work on, the duration of your session, and what type of goal you want to work towards. This game is now my daily workout and I can truly say this game has motivated me to stay active, something not easy (I'll be honest, I was lazy but this game has motivated me again!

Time your punches perfectly to get into the Zone State, bringing the stage to life and letting you rack up extra points! If you put any time into that title this game will seem very similar to you, and I’m not sure there are enough changes to warrant the upgrade. Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm and Exercise, it’s intense, you’ll sweat, but it’s a heck of a lot of fun with a lot of variety in the actions you can perform. Save your full efforts for when the pandemic is over and you can launch your punches at something with resistance.However, I did have some slight issues with the game registering my weaving and ducking which required me to perform the action with more exaggeration than you'd have to in real life.

In the case of games that use cloud streaming technology, only the free launcher application can be downloaded. My wife and I use fitness boxing regularly and are thinking of upgrading to 2, mainly for the ability to be able to choose your own workouts and speeds in free mode. Well, it does have 23 songs compared to the 20 of the first Fitness Boxing, but 3 are original compositions as opposed to lyric-less versions of random pop songs and all are largely forgettable. There’s a variety of modes and punches you can throw to work up a sweat and actually get a pretty effective workout in. While more new clothes are still unlocked over time, you at least get a generous enough helping of tickets at the start of the game and you’d really have to try hard to run out of them.After your workout is complete, you’re then scored on how accurate your punches were – and that’s more or less it, really. I felt the controls were accurate for the most part, however, I found that you need to move very smoothly and succinctly, otherwise the game may not be able to recognise all your movements; double jabs were mostly hopeless for me as the game would recognise my pullbacks as the jab right after the first one. As you play the game more exercises unlock, including ones that incorporate full body movements such as ducking, weaving, and stepping.
