Ubisoft’s Shape Up Offers New Ways To Get Fit With Kinect [Trailer Added]
Ubisoft is developing a new fitness game in partnership with Microsoft that utilizes Kinect. Shape Up aims to make working out fun, incorporating silly minigames to help you forget that you're sweating.
The first live stage demo involved the player stepping on piano keys in time with the beat as color gems scrolled on the screen. This demo showed that you'll constantly be battling your former personal best, including video footage of yourself at that time.
The second demo pit two players against each other in a pushup contest. Onscreen it appeared that progressively heavier objects appeared on the players' backs like a tank, a tiki head, and a whale.
Shape Up releases November 11 on Xbox One.
