505 Games, Chromativity and Adidas have today announced their collaborative project, Adidas miCoach, will be available for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 from today onwards.
The game, if you can call it that, is a home training system with "full motion-controlled support and complete optical body tracking" via PS Move and Xbox Kinect. There are over 400 different exercises to help improve fitness.
Famous athletes train alongside you, should you so wish. There are representatives from a variety of different sports, including: Kaka, Manuel Neuer, Jessica Ennis, Ana Ivanovic, Will Genia and Ma'a Nonu. The athletes also offer master classes in their chosen field, plus there's a bonus master class from Real Madrid boss Jose "the Special One" Mourinho.
Adidas man Simon Drabble said: "We are very excited to be bringing the miCoach console game to market, allowing you to train alongside your own heroes in a fun and engaging way. We're taking our successful miCoach platform and broadening its reach to an even larger audience, by combining console technology and training for sports. This supports everybody to become better athletes, regardless of their fitness level."
Tim Woodley, from 505 Games said: "It's been fantastic to partner with such a globally recognisable brand as adidas and on as ground breaking a product as Adidas miCoach. We've seen athletes of all levels respond to how complete and - literally - exhaustive, the training offered by miCoach is and can't wait to hear how consumers benefit from adding the game to their existing training schedule"
"Bringing something truly new to the sports training and fitness segment on consoles, integrating it into the wider miCoach eco-system and capitalising on a packed summer of sport in 2012 is just the start of a great relationship."
