I am definitely liking this. I'm going to be looking for getting this. I hope the scores are good. The other fighting game got slammed. It would be nice if you could learn specific fighting styles too. I really am crossing my fingers that they have more games like this from other companies without the cheesy additions.

It's not a fighting game, its a fitness game. From my understanding there is no fighting at all, unless you consider "hitting the pads" fighting.
