Customer Reviews
Firstly the good points. The premise behind the 'game'. I run, cycle and swim on a regular basis. I always used cardiotrainer on my android to track my distances.After hearing about micoach, I downloaded the app and pre-ordered the game. These were going to work in sync with each other to track my exercise programs. pity it's never been implemented properly.
Now The bad points.
It doesn't work.
The game boasts motion detection. It starts the exercise at the slightest movement, so there's no preparation time. It started when my 15 year old west-highland staggered across the room. Best of it was, he got a medal for glute reps!
The training games are awful. I constantly had to re-calibrate. the tennis is the best of a bad lot. with the football (dull) hardly working and the basketball unplayable, mainly due to really bad control issues.
You also need gym equipment. weights and a gym ball are needed for the plan I was going to attempt. I don't have them in my living room. Thats why I go to the gym.
The amount of room needed seems to be more than the other games in this genre. I had to stand at least eight foot away from the camera.
Times between exercises are non existent. Add this to the 'motion detection' problem and you'll find yourself rushing from a push up to a forward lunge in the space of five seconds. That can't be good for you.
Even the comedy value in the sports 'personalities' inane scripted drivel doesn't help to lift this awful game from the one star i've given it.
If i could, it would be half a star.
There is no way on earth that this had been play tested before release, by gamers or fitness experts. This title is more likely to put somebody in hospital.
I traded it in sharpish and I didnt even get to see Jessica Ennis!
My recommendations would be in this order :
EA sports active
My fitness coach club
Move fitness
The Fight
going for a walk
eating less
DIY brain surgery
Adidas Micoach.
I had great hopes for this game as I was looking at something new to replace EA Sports Active2 but after only a few minutes on the game, I realized it will never be as good as Sports Active2.
The detection with the camera on micoach is terrible. Mouvements are not detected when it should so you are doing reps 35 times instead of 8 because it's not registering and so in each exercise you need to quit because you can't finish it. Very frustrating.
I changed the settings, position of the camera, etc but nothing improved the detection.
Very poor game even with these great athletes providing helpful tips.
