I was recently given the opportunity to review a new X-box Kinect game called Your Shape: Fitness Evolved. I was excited to try it out and wasn't sure what to expect. I thought it might be somewhat like the Wi Fit, but for x-box. While the concept is similar, it is definitely different. This game was designed for adults, but the kids certainly enjoyed it too. The best part is that the Kinect uses your image, so as you work out, you are actually on the screen in live-action. They call it full body tracking and it is amazing! Instead of 16 dot tracking like other games, it uses one million dots on your body! This really helps you make sure you are doing the exercises correctly. Here's a picture from the Amazon site to show an example of how beneficial that feature is:
You can see in the picture that you can compare how you are doing the exercises to the image on the left. You can also see that it tracks your calorie burning while you work out! I really enjoyed playing the games! If Your Shape: Fitness Evolved sounds good to you, why don't you enter to win! In order to play it, you will need an X-box kinect. Just leave me a comment for an entry. For additional entries leave a comment for each of the following:

Here are some key game features:

- Fitness Your Way – How you burn calories, have fun, and improve your fitness level is up to you, whether you enlist the help of a personal trainer, take a class such as Yoga, Martial Arts, or Tai Chi, or get the family involved in fun mini-games like dancing, target practice and more
- Interactive Visual Effects - As you master the fitness moves, the game responds with fun and surprising visuals such as such as paint, water, light, fire, confetti that match your movement and impact
- Unprecedented Feedback System Fitness Evolved gives you precise feedback on your every body part as you follow your coach's instructions and will help you correct your form by adding guidelines to the screen so you know exactly where your arm or leg should be placed and you can see it in real-time
- Cutting-Edge Workouts Created by Fitness Experts - The game contains workouts included a martial arts class lead by Michael George, who has trained celebrities including Reese Witherspoon and P.Diddy, leads a Martial Arts class and a special weight loss class lead by Michelle Bridges, trainer for all 5 seasons on Australia's "The Biggest Loser"
- Track Your Progress and Share It Online - All of your stats are uploaded seamlessly online and can be shared with friends and family allowing you to create challenges among friends and help each other reach fitness goals
- Never Do the Same Workout Twice - The game comes with hundreds of exercises, plus, enjoy regular downloadable content releases to ensure you'll always have new and exciting workout routines to learn.
- Multiplayer Support - Challenge friends using Xbox LIVE multiplayer
