Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
Eye Toy: Kinetic Combat is an exceptional interactive fitness product that adds a new dimension to home fitness. EyeToy: Kinetic redefined the home fitness market by transforming PlayStation 2 into an interactive fitness system bringing personal fitness trainers and workout tools into the home. To ensure an unparalleled home fitness experience, the team at London Studio have applied their knowledge and skills gained from EyeToy: Kinetic to produce an even more sophisticated and refined fitness product.

Fusing the martial arts teaching of Hung Gar Kung Fu with an holistic fitness programme, Kinetic Combat is set to revolutionise the martial arts inspired home fitness market delivering players their own personal Kung Fu trainer and sparring partners for a fully personalised one-on-one training session.

To achieve unprecedented levels of interaction, Kinetic Combat uses cutting edge Motion Matching Technology. This sophisticated technology means it's able to track the player's moves on screen with supreme precision. It can tell if a move is being performed correctly and gives personalised real-time feedback that is both encouraging and constructive.

Over 200 separate Hung Gar Kung Fu moves have been motion captured using a leading martial arts expert and players need to stay within the instructors outline on screen to complete exercises and learn new techniques.

As players' journey through the four martial arts inspired zones they will face a number of challenges to test their new skills. In addition to a series of games, players need to bring all the moves together in an end of zone sparring match. In this 'versus' battle players will face a virtual opponent that they need to defeat to progress to the next zone.

To provide a structured training schedule, Kinetic Combat has a Personal Trainer Mode that takes players through a 16 week programme. This programme ensures players benefit from an holistic approach that targets all the body's muscle groups whilst giving an comprehensive aerobic and anaerobic workout and thorough grounding in Hung Gar Kung Fu.

The Freestyle Mode lets players build their own workout programme under the watchful eye of the three personal trainers whereas the Quick Play Mode lets players choose a workout at random. This mode also contains a number of one-off games that can be played competitively against friends and family.

Whatever way you train with Kinetic Combat you're guaranteed a serious hard hitting and enjoyable home workout.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, but you need LOTS of space, 12 Jun 2007
By J. PORTER - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
The game itself is great fun and almost certainly a great way to get fit, but don't get the impression you are learning a martial art properly - you aren't. However, it isn't a bad supplement for someone who already practices a martial art.

The problem for me at least is that you need a lot of space. You need to stand about 3 metres away from the camera and have over a metre on each side (ideally more) for punching and kicking. That is a lot of space and a lot of people either won't have room or will have to move furniture every time they want to play.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slow - but gives you a work out., 15 Jul 2008
By L. Yuen (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Great interactive exercise/aerobics session. It grades you on how well you do - example: measures how many repetitions you do, pace, how low you squat or high you jump up.

Also measures your heart rate to see if you are getting the best work out or not. (by measure...you count your own pulse for 15secs and enter it into the system)

You get a small library of songs to choose - which is always good, so you dont have to listen to the same song over and over again.

16 week personal trainer session is abit slow and requires discipline to complete it. I just stick to a couple of the sparring sessions to get the heart racing.

Like the previous review said, this 'game' requires ALOT of space. I am pretty small and need approx 9sqm+ to play with.

You will definately get a work out if you have the discipline. :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Good fun, but suffers from uneven difficulty, 16 Oct 2008
By A. Duffell (London, UK) - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
Overall, i've enjoyed working out to this, but it's not without problems.

The main issue is the difficulty. Some sections are ludicrously hard, while some are laughably easy. In personal trainer mode you'll move on from practicing some quite basic combinations to some extremely tricky ones. Like myself, i'm sure most people would need more than two demonstrations before being able to accurately execute a combination of five or six linked moves. Alas, after the second run through, you're being marked by the ever-watchful Eyetoy camera. Then after another three or so attempts you're expected to increase your speed. With some combinations it's taken me until the last ferw attempts to get all the movements down accurately, while my score has been dropping through the floor in the meantime.

The obvious solution to this is to repeat workouts to practice the combos and get them right. Take this into account if you plan to use the 16-week training program. Normally you are expected to do two sessions a week (they take about an hour), but if you want to learn the moves properly and score well you will need to repeat sessions, particularly as they increase in complexity. If you aren't bothered about learning them properly, you'll still get a good workout by sticking to the twice a week schedule.

In contrast, some of the other exercises are far too easy. I'm thinking mainly of the sparring, where you can routinely get A grades without having to use any technique, or even break a sweat. Just stand close to your sparring partner and give it a quick slap every time the target area flashes. No skill needed whatsoever, and it certainly doesn't require you to apply any of the techniques you've been training in.

Overall though, Kinetic Combat is a decent workout, and i'd recommend it for that. Just don't expect to be learning any useful martial arts skills.
