Eye toys

Kung fu workout to hip hop, house and electro tunes?
Spare me the torture, please!
I'm sure the workout part is great fun though.

Story:
EyeToy: Kinetic Combat "fuses the martial arts teaching of Hung Gar Kung Fu with an holistic fitness programme," presenting you with your very own trainer (he's called Leon, which frankly doesn't sound very ninja to us) and sparring partners. The game uses "cutting edge Motion Matching technology" to track your moves, and if you muck it up, you'll be given constructive feedback.

More than 200 Hung Gar moves have been motion captured with the help of a real life Kung Fu supremo, and you can take part in more than 25 hours of classes with a training programme designed to run over 16 weeks. Apparently you'll not only get a thorough aerobic and anaerobic workout, but a proper grounding in Hung Gar Kung Fu.
