Nike+ Kinect Training
About the Game
Nike+ Kinect Training is an exergame that combines fitness with gaming elements similar to the contemporary adidas miCoach and it requires the Kinect peripheral to play. It is based on the Nike+ brand from the sports equipment manufacturer focusing on personalizing training and providing statistics. Players get to register a Nike+ account on the website in-game and can also link a Facebook profile to it. Through Kinect players' profile and movements are tracked, and they are shown on-screen as a green avatar.
Story & Setting
The game then organizes a calendar with activities showing the total time per session, program history for the type of exercise, and fuel print. Tests can be broken down into individual exercises through a history option and the personal fuel print can be compared online with the community based on gender and age.
Gameplay & Core Systems
In the single-player personal training players can set up when to work out and join a 4-week program. Moving on in the program cannot be forced and on days where players are not supposed to exercise, continuing the program becomes locked. They target strength, weight or cardio based on three difficulty levels and a workout length of 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Split decisions for instance offers a Hole in the Wall -type of game where players have to move, duck and jump into holes in glass walls to prevent them from breaking when they come to the front of the screen. The challenge drills offer weekly challenges such as the aforementioned split decision, but also hardcore hurdles where you need to jump over a wooden plank, dodge incoming balls and kick back soccer balls in dodgeball, and more straightforward ones such as power push-up, leg matrix, and high knee sprint.
Standout Features
- Next to the personal training, a quick workout session can be started outside of the program.
- Alex: In the options the program can be reset, a choice can be made between two trainers (Alex or Marie) and it is possible to switch the training environment.
