Zumba Fitness Rush [Kinect Required] (Xbox 360)

Having enjoyed the first Zumba games for the X-Box I awaited the release of this game with interest. It was billed as being bigger and better than the first outing and indeed in many ways it is. The graphics are more lifelike, the music and background environments more varied and interesting. There are also more instructors featured and in the classes, particularly the 45 and 1 hour classes they are all featured.The game works in a similar way to the previous one, with the added benefit of voice control, having said that I have found that this feature is not very responsive, the hand signals do seem to be better in this game but even so it still take a fair amount of time to navigate through the various menus to the game itself, there is also a lengthly introduction video which if you miss the opportunity to skip holds you up for a couple of minutes.The game itself can be played for 20, 45 or 60 minutes at low, medium or high intensity. You can get a sample of each class before you start. If you prefer to practice a single song or learn a step you can do that by following the appropriate link in the main menu.As stated the graphics are very different from the original game, the classes take place in a variety of places including rooftops, clubs and swimming pool. The thing that takes some getting used to is the way the camera angles change even mid-move. Like many of the dance games a next move indicator appears just before you need to carry it and rather than the 'encouraging' comments from the instructor are gone and replaced by an image of you and your moves. Instead of the zumba double points you collect stars and if you get a big enough chain of moves correct you trigger zumba euphoria. This means that the screen seems to have a mist over it for a small amount of time. Once you get used to the odd camera angles and the euphoria mode you'll find the graphics more detailed and useful than the previous version.Included in this version is a calorie counter, however having played the game at different levels and for different lengths of time I have come to conclude that it isn't very accurate. I also run a lot and 45 minutes running monitored with a GPS monitor burns approximately 450-500 calories depending on speed, according to the game 45 minutes of mid-intensity zumba burns over 900! Anyway that aside I think this game is an improvement on the previous one and suitable for all levels of ability. I would definitely recommend it a fun way to tone up and burn calories!

Nothing to comment, only say that the game is very good to mantain your body shapped like a star! Very good thems too.

If you have tried zumba fitness then definitely try this one for fun and fitness. It is easy to navigate through the system and the voice commands are a bonus. If you have never tried zumba before you should be ok with this as you can control the learn dance steps from slow to fast before trying a class which are short medium and full class. There is also a progress tracker, player indicator, move cues which lets you see the next dance moves at the side of the screen and star ratings. I move from the medium to full classes depending on my energy levels the full class gives you an intense workout the music is brilliant and motivating I'm addicted and use it every second day and I'm am definitely starting to tone up. Like everything else you need to use it for it to work enjoy and have fun.

I have Zumba party an love it so much i decided to get Zumba Rush however i got it home today and was so disappointed. The music and moves are nothing like Zumba Party and after 20 + mins my heart rate hardly increased and i was bored. The calorie counter is useful however im not sure how accurate it is as i hardly broke a sweat but still burnt 280 calories.At least with Zumba Party its fast paced and fun, ok the user interface is frustrating an you have to select loads of options before you play but its all worth it to get a good workout and to have fun too.I would buy Zumba Party everytime, and i will be placing my Zumba Rush back for sale on here tonight, worst workout ever

Zumba fitness rush is brilliant! I was worried that it would be to hard for me to do as im not very fit, but I can do this easy because theres different levels and you can do just one song and work your way up to 15 which is a full class. It is so much fun and in 6 weeks im doing the Zumba fitness 5 times a week on the medium intensity class which is 12 songs long (about 50 mins) and getting 4-5 Zumba stars which is great, so im getting so much better at it and loving it the more I do!The best thing is that ive lost 3 inches off my tummy, waist and hips and 2 inches off the top of my legs and an inch off my arms and chest, I have been eatting healthy and cut down my meal size and Ive lost 16 pounds as well, I do have stones to lose so this was a very good start. The Zumba has really helped me get fitter and I feel healthier and Im going to have to get some new clothes soon because things are a bit baggy now :)If you like dancing with some exercise moves thrown in then I would recommend the Zumba fitness rush, its a really fun way to get exercise and to lose those inches!

I had the Zumba 1 and decided to purchase the Zumba Rush as I enjoyed the 1st very much the first is good but the second is much bettter with people like Dance Central which I found easier to follow, anyway I have been addicted to it Love the music the Dances really good aerobic exercise. I like the idea the classes are short medium and long, it means I can choose what class to do depending how much time I have.I zumba every day as it is so much fun and I feel great after a workout would highly recommend this to anyone who loves dancing and fitness as some of the workouts especially the long are for the super fit!! Love It!! I like the idea you can make your own classes up to your favourite songs on the list. You can also play single songs from the list and the music is varied something for everyone.

Waste of time, misses never hardly used the thing

I bought this as I have the original Zumba game for the Xbox 360. This one is far better! It has loads more to do/learn, it counts the calories burned, better music, more routines, more options and it's just good fun!Never has Zumba felt like a chore! I have completed a 5 min medium intensity Zumba session this morning and burned 950 calories! You won't do that in in the gym or running!If you are looking for an inexpensive and fun way to keep fit, this is it!

Me gusta todo aunque este en otro idioma esta muy bien

Semplicemente stupendo! oltre a divertente, si suda da matti ed è molto allegro. Anche se non è in lingua italiana, l'inglese lo si capisce bene, più che altro nel leggerlo. Belli i temi musicali e le coreografie a passo di musica. Gli stili di ballo presenti sono in tutto ventiquattro (salsa, cumbia, latin pop, indian, ecc.), Personalmente lo raccomando!

5 étoiles car je suis extrêment satisfaite.J'ai acheté cet article pour faire de la zumba à la maison. En import anglais parce que c'est nettement moins cher que la version française. je n'ai aucune difficulté à mettre en route et à utiliser le jeu. J'aime beaucoup les musiques et les danses tres latino et ethnique. Je suis ravie.je recommande l'achat de cet article, reçu plus rapidement que prévu initialement.

non ci sono molte indicazioni durante l'esecuzione dei vari balli, non sono molto soddisfatta, mi aspettavo di più. consegna sempre eccezionale.

It is what i was expecting... now to have fun and pretend to know how to dance if possible in couple.
