Customer Reviews

Zumba is back with Zumba Fitness Rush And what can be said about this sequel? Read on
The Cons:
Unlike it's predecessor, the developers decided to remove a crucial fun factor, online multi-player mode. That's right, you can no longer play online with friends in far away places.
Another issue that may affect a few people (especially those with epilepsy) are the constant flashes and de-focus in the game play. I found it quite irritating, especially when a new move was coming up.
The cue cards are a nice addition, but developers, if you're going add them, then put the whole routine of the move in there. It's like you put the move in but then decide to add something else to it. This option can be removed under settings.
In the manual it has a scale and tells you that you are able to edit, but I have yet to find where the edit option is or see the scale appear. You can only see Time, Technique and Calories Burned right now. If anyone sees the scale, please let me know where it is located.
Now for the Pros:
The navigating is great as you can use your hand, voice or controller.
The tracking has improved greatly.
The tutorials in learning the steps has improved as well.
All new music, routines and venues
Routine intensity go from easy to medium to high
The classes are fun and you will sweat your pants off big time.
Your choice of classes are Short Class (20 mins), Medium Class (45 mins) and Full Class (60 mins)
You can create your own playlist of songs (up to 12) and dance away without having to stop (you still have your choice of doing a single song as well).
It has a Dance Central type scoring system (the star system) and there you can get Nice, Hot or Zumba
It also shows the body part that needs work with a red silhouette.
So with all that said, would I recommend Zumba Fitness Rush? I'll say yes. Despite what it lacks, the pros still outweigh the cons
Enjoy, I know I will
Update: February 16th, 2012
After using it for nearly a week, I will say you will get use to the flashing which is Euphoria and they've updated it that you can now share on your awards on Facebook right from the game I'm loving it I can see this being my staple workout for a long time

I Zumba at a studio at least 2-3 times a week and this Zumba game is an amazing comperable experience. The game does a great job of breaking the moves down, but also allows advanced Zumba dancers to jump right in and get dancing. There are tons of new songs, new moves, and great graphics. If you Zumba you know you will work up quite the sweat all the while keeping a huge simpe on your face. Unlike the old game they dont have super long breaks between songs, so you keep your heart rate up your workout going. I'm so incredibly sore, and sweaty after I do this game - and feel i can trade the gym off with this game a few times a week. I also noticed if your are doing the opposite/wrong move, the camera focuses on that spot so you can view it from several angles.
I also own dance central 1/2 as well as just dance 3 and this is way more fun and a better workout. I've even had some friends over to play this game with me and the dancing side-by-side scoring is accurate and easy for both people to use.
This game is fantastic! Best Fitness Game on Xbox - Really what are you waiting for BUY it!
