Gameplay[]
The game is essentally a Fitness game, with Melanie Brown as the player's fitness coach. She will give real-time advice and feedback on the current going-ons of the exercises the players are doing, some of which are dance fit, cardio, step, pump and tone and kickboxing. And like her fitness DVD, Mel B Totally Fit, she'll be giving personal nutritional meals fit to the player's fitness workout. The video game is also compatible with other extensive fitness accessories such as the fitball, the step and the resistance band.
A trailer was released which featured some gameplay from the use of "Playstation Eye and Move". From the help from her assistant "Hannah", the assitant follows different exercises that are done on screen. Exercises are done side-by-side with Mel B on screen with Mel B on the left and with the use of the camera technology, the player of the left.
A timer is situated on the top left of the screen of how long the exercises will be. There also seems to be a target of how many of the exercise moves on Mel B's side on the screen, while the player has what seems to be a bar of target and how many exercise moves they have successfully done.
The game also has online capabilities to connect to FaceBook to update friends on the progress made on the game.
