Gameplay
Zumba Fitness uses the motion sensing capabilities of the PlayStation Move to bring steamy, calorie-burning Zumba moves to the PS3. The game's primary play mechanic is the replication by the player(s) in real-time of dance moves that are demonstrated by an on-screen virtual instructor. Gameplay utilizes a PlayStation Eye camera peripheral and a PlayStation Move motion controller for each player. Freedom of movement is allowed by the exclusive Move motion controller belt, included with the game, which the controller slips into. On-screen color changes to a representation of the player in-game alerts you to the accuracy of your moves, while a countdown clock keeps you constantly updated on the time remaining in the routine. Zumba Fitness also includes fan favorite Zumba instructors Tanya, Gina and Zumba's creator Beto, who together guide you through more than 30 routines that will make you forget you are even exercising. Together with four-player support allowing friends join in the workout and an ever-present, infectious Latin groove, players have all that they need to dance the weight off and have a blast doing it.
PlayStation Move Motion Controller and PlayStation Eye
Equipped with a three axis gyroscope, a three axis accelerometer and terrestrial magnetic field sensor, the PlayStation Move motion controller registers the precise movements of the player, while the PlayStation Eye camera peripheral, aimed at the player and his/her controller, allows the PS3 system to translate this into usable 3D oriented data. This can then be used to accurately and nearly instantly recreate the player's physical movements in-game. The PlayStation Move motion controller also features the familiar PlayStation controller button orientation, for seamless play in every situation.
