Anyone Pick This Up Yet? Review?

[Rule the Heretic]

Just wondering if anyone has this yet and if so what they have to report. It has been out in Europe for a couple of weeks now and the US for a couple of days.

Meh, maybe I'll just pick it up and be the first to have some info, heh.

[tuffmuff]

I'm curious too. I'd like to get the game eventually.

Well, I've been feeling like spending money I don't have and wanting to find something to motivate me to get moving again, so I might just be posting some info this weekend :P

[tuffmuff]

lol Sweet, I'll check back to see what you think of it

I've got this an it is quite decent. When you are doing your work outs you do it opposite an athlete on screen so you mimic them, and the camera picks up what you are doing. The training games can be quite fun and provide a workout too.

I am trying to get myself back in proper shape after a 3 month break with a bad knee injury so this is going to help, and the trophies are small targets to aim for, so getting the platinum should really help with my fitness levels.

I picked this up for only £20, so if you can get it cheap I would definitely recommend it.

So the camera tracking is pretty decent then? Do you need an account with miCoach to have access to any functionality? What sort of sports are covered in the training games that may not be apparent from the trophy list?

I have a general worry that the cardio trophy requires other miCoach products, have you attempted that trophy yet?

Sorry for throwing all that at you, I'm pretty sure I'm going to stop somewhere tonight and get this, but I'm just curious about these things

What is need to do the workouts? I can see that you need the move cam, but do you need all the other stuff that is being push with it? Do you have to hold and workout while holding a move controller?

I'm plan on picking this up as well, as soon as I see it for <$20.
The trophy list doesn't look too demanding, depending on what's involved with completing a training plan. If it's something that can be custom designed with just a few exercises/workouts, should be pretty easy.

Here's a quick link to the trophy list: http://psnprofiles.com/trophies/miCoach

Like others here, I'd still like confirmation that this can be platted without any accessories beyond a standard Move set up, and that the movement tracking is adequate.

The camera tracking seems decent enough.
I have not got a MiCoach account and I haven't found anything I cannot access yet.
The 3 training games are basketball, tennis and football.
Which cardio trophy are you referring to?

So far I have come across it needing some dumb-bells so you can lift some weights, but I imagine you could use a couple of tins of beans to do these. It has also asked for an exercise ball, but I have used by weights bench and it has worked fine.

You don't have to have hold of the controller for some of the workouts, but others you do.

In Condition is the trophy I'm thinking about. I just have a bad feeling that requires either the heart-rate monitor, the running pacer thing, or at the very least the smartphone app. The app is free though, so that probably isn't a problem.

Their website mentions both American football and the sport the rest of the world calls football, I was kind of hoping to see both in the game. That's probably what DLC is for though :P
