Jury is still out ...
I'm not sure. I deshrunk it last night and got it set up. It takes a little while to sync the controllers and prepare for game play. I'm sure that there is a learning curve. So, I have to account for that.
They have "mini games" or something like that within the game. I did NOT try any of those. I did make it to the first boss monster though (so did my son), so that was level 4.
I don't know yet if I can go back and redo and try to get/be better. I think it might be possible. I was stupid and played in bare feet (long story) which I know better. Small Area - I needed a larger area. I am actually thinking of dragging my bellicon in and doing it on that.
There was jogging and high knees and steps to go up. Jumps to be done (which involves the ring, not actual jumping) then along the way you run into enemies where you have to do things like squats, overhead presses, ab squeezes, knees to chest (hated that one) and chair pose. They have a guy on the left showing form pointers. And words to tell you when to sit, hold, etc. When it charges enough, a something (anvil? Fist? something comes down on the enemy. The key is to get him before he gets you. and keep your hearts filled.
There is catching coins and jumping for them along the way. The ring actually vibrates (still have to figure out why and what for).
Like I said, tremendous learning curve I'm sure. They have the heart rate to be taken on the actual ring. Mine never went above 105. (91, 99 and then 105). Son said he's not sure it's all that accurate.
I'm mildly sore today. But bear in mind, I've been using my Peloton and mostly been cycling for awhile now. I probably need to use other muscles.
I am reserving my right to change my mind. It's a little hokey - but I think I have to get better and get further into the game.
At $79 .. maybe a bit overpriced, but regular Switch games are $39 to $59 anyway ... so this is not a reach. I hope to keep at it. Preferably without throwing my back out or hurting my knees. (next time it's sneakers for me or the bellicon.)
I thought it was kinda fun.
Stay tuned.
