Your Shape (Wii)

I do love my Wii and I especially love using it to keep fit and healthy so it was always likely that something like this product would appeal to me. Your Shape describes itself as 'fitness focused on you' and the pack comes complete with a little camera which they claim 'scans your body, detects your movement and makes exercise 100% controller free'.

In my opinion Your shape and Wii camera is a great way to mix exercising with fun and video games and can be done in your living room, for this game I liked the fact that no Wii remote was needed and that it was all activated by your body.
