Im getting it in the mail this week.

I wonder if anyone here actually got the game?

Im going to give this game the full test with a 12 week pretty hard exercise program.
Thinking about writing a journal which Im gonna post when it ends(mid january).
Assuming someone is interested to read/hear about the game and result that is.

I tried it, but my living room simply wasn't big enough...even with that lense attachment. Seems like a pretty serious exercise "game" though...naturally, in order to actually achieve noticable results you'll have to eat and sleep right as well.

My wife has it, and seems to enjoying it after a few weeks. However, as she's in bed with the flu right now I'd expect the personal trainers to give her abuse about missing a few sessions.

Here is some results of a study in the University of Granada, try altalavista trans to see if you can make something out of it. Personally i'm at the 3rd week of training and seems to work, specially the extra excercises(the ones that don't requiere the eyetoy) of course you need about a 4 or 3 round meters of space, and good illumination.

Dammit. Everyone should speak english on the internet if they can't they should learn it before they get on.

j/k, but its annoying when cool stuff isn't in english. Imagine how annoying the internet is to people that can't speak english?

I wonder if they have a 10 megapixel Eyetoy somewhere that they make these promo pics with?

Babelfish translation:

According to the investigation equipment, the game of PlayStation 2 improves factors like the coordination, the balance either worrisome others the more as they are the triglicéridos ones or the cholesterol

The group of investigation EFFECTS262 of the University of Granada has presented the first results the study that is making on the benefits for the health of the new game of PlayStation 2, EyeToy: Kinetic. According to those data, the game is highly beneficial simultaneously that very motivacional.

EyeToy: Kinetic consists of a personal trainer who, by means of the EyeToy technology, which reproduces the image of the player in the screen, helps ponerte in form, by means of exercises of all type (yoga, kick boxing, aerobic...).

The University of Granada began, the past month of June a study on a sample of 30 women of ages between the 10 and 40 years. 8 weeks later, the first results that are come off this study are the as popular improvements in the coordination or the balance and indices as they can be the cholesterol, triglicéridos or the corporal fat.

The key of this game, that it complements to the conventional gymnasiums, is in the high motivacional and recreational component, since it consists of a form to entertain itself simultaneously that controlled exercise is done.

In order to make this study, the group of investigation of the University of Granada has measured values like the aeróbica capacity, the blood, the time of reaction or the corporal fat. EyeToy: Kinetic has been developed in collaboration with professionals of Nike Motionworks, who have contributed their experience in sciences of the physical activity: biomechanics, psychology, kinesiología, motor control... thus to obtain a beneficial product for the health, on a par that motivante and amused.

There was a PAL impressions thread a few weeks ago.

I've completed my first month and am sticking with it. It seems to do the job, but it is a "serious exercise piece of software" rather than a fun game. It's also buggy (unless they tided it up for the US) and you do need to get your camera and lighting setup absolutely perfect (see the thread) to make the most of it.

Kind of. Starting my 4th week. I think it's not so much the lighting anymore, and more about the background. The title screen has a blank, white background to it, with a funky effect that creates large black pixels at the edge of any colour that changes - simpy put it allows you to see what the sensitivity of the Eyetoy can see when you move. Itbecomes apparent that any areas that are not well lit, or match your skin colour can be 'invisible' to the camera (crappy beige setting of my living room!). I've taken to using black socks and gloves, but even then it's not perfect, as dark areas on the screen also become invisible. But it works for the most part.

It's definitely a serious piece of software, thouh it's pretty fun (or funny even) to go at the combat mode like a Ninja or Spider-man. The annoying thing is some of the cardio pieces require precision, something my set up can't fully appreciate at the moment.

And Yoga seems damn hard (With Tai-Chi being next to impossible, as it's basically a video tutor, and they zip through pretty fast).
