The camera can be buggy, but overall this is a great game that gets your heart pumping!

I agree with some of the reviewers that say the camera can be a bit buggy sometimes. It sometimes registers movement that isn't there and doesn't register movement that is there because of the lighting. With minimal setup, I got it to be mostly on target in a tiny living room with minimal lighting (I use the "dark room setting). My TV is about 5 feet from where I workout and it works great. Setting up the camera took some thought and time but once it's setup, it works most of the time. A little buggyness is to be expected (but it is frustrating when you're supposed to be punching a wall and it won't go anywhere).

Some of the games are boring but you can pick and choose and there's lots to choose from. Most of the games are fun and they really get you moving. I consider myself in pretty good shape but playing some of the minigames for 30 minutes gets my heart pumping. It's great fun and I don't understand why there aren't more eye toy games now! Previously, I'd played a few and thought this was a lame piece of equipment.

The personal trainer option is nice. It sets dates for you to come back and s/he gives you a talking to if you don't. It also varies the games you play, times and works up the intensity which is nice.

Overall, this is cheaper than a personal trainer, more fun than a gym and I think I'll stick with it. I'm a big DDR fan and I think this is a better workout!
