Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

From the description and the preview video, I had high hopes for this game -- beautiful music, pretty graphics, how could it go wrong? They did get the music right and the story mode is full of good information including mention of chakras. However, the graphics are terrible and you can't really explore on your own -- you have to just follow the guide around. I couldn't even figure out how to interact with anything. The real problem, though, is when you actually go to do a pose. The balance board and remote are only used to check your form if you are in story or training mode. Then it really only seems to check to make sure your hand is steady and your weight is evenly distributed. Even this part is up to you as the game doesn't give you feedback. The routine section is even more disappointing. The routines are supposed to help you with different things like a headache, a cold, etc., but they're more like random grab bags of unrelated poses with no warm up and barely any instruction. If the graphics were better, the lack of instruction wouldn't be as bad. However, even with an HD-TV, the instructor is a pixelated blob whose head you can barely make out let alone a complicated yoga pose. I think some of the routines are even unsafe -- they include poses like crow that are very advanced but only give instructions like "bend forward, bend your knees, put your knees on your arms, yup that's it you should be good . . . " Unless you are a very experienced yogi, you are going to face plant on your living room floor when you try that. Please, please save your money. Even wii fit yoga is better than this.
