NWR: Based on my tweets or Miiverse posts, you may gather that I volunteered to review Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013 in an ironic, “fitness LOL” kind of way. Truth be told, I’ve been on a little bit of a wellness kick the past few months, and I’m actually very much looking forward to messing around with Your Shape and, if it proves sufficient, making it a part of my exercise routine on days when I can’t get to the gym.
Consumer Reports:
Ever since the Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Wii, and Sony PlayStation added motion controls, couch potatoes have had the ability to transform into into fitness freaks. We evaluated five of the most popular fitness games to see how much of a workout they provide and how much fun they offer.
From the Review:
"Before Ubisoft’s Your Shape series debuted on the Kinect, it kicked off for the Wii with a very active program and a nifty camera. I suppose that its primary competition was the Balance Board-powered Wii Fit. Now, Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2013 marks the return of the franchise to Nintendo – without the camera or Balance Board. With touch-screen capability using the GamePad and some interesting value-added features, Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2013 is a good choice to help you get into -and stay in- healthy shape; but there are some conditions attached to this claim – such as being honest with yourself."
Gaming Union: "Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013 is a decent fitness game to grace the Nintendo Wii U, although the reliance on the Wii Remote can be discouraging for some. However, for those who want to stick with it, there's a good amount of variety with the workouts on offer and the game also offers some great additional features, such as recipes to help you achieve your different goals."
