Since I finally have started the world party workouts I have to say that it is an increased tempo and much more intense in a good way. The makers decided to pick shorter songs to give you more of a chance to try out more kinds of dance and target more body parts in a single workout. I think it was genius. I did a short 20 minute medium intensity workout tonight and it had me pretty worn out by the end of it. It is kind of daunting when you are used to only 4 or 5 songs and instead you get 7 or 8, but they are shorter and staggered more with intensity. I love the fact that dance is used from all over the world. My only real complaint is that in all of the other Zumba Fitness workouts you had very clear visual clues and in this one they are harder to recognize against the background when you are in mid dance. Also the screen set up on World is a little different from the previous Zumba workouts so it has just been taking a little bit of getting used to. The instructors are much more realistic looking and have better hair movement like you would see in a unreal game engine for PC games (oops I may have just geeked some of you out sorry). Also the Zumba streak indicator gives you the number of Zumba streaks in points reminiscent of how many hits you got in an action or first person shooter console game so it gives it added video game feel.
This is the only Zumba Workout game thus far that does give you the added option to World Travel mode and go through 7 destinations around the world and focus on the dance styles for those locations instead. This is an amazing added dimension on top of the other great qualities of class picking by length and intensity as well as customizing your own class, doing a song at a time, learning the steps and even the zumba world edition found on all Zumba games that allow you to live connect with a current ongoing Zumba class that is being broadcast.
Overall I give this workout 5 stars. Someone on my IG (InstaGram) just recently wrote a testimonial about losing 70 pounds on this workout alone. I use it predominantly for cardio and because I thoroughly enjoy it which makes me look forward to working out. The music is the best yet and reaches many different cultures. I love the diversity and learning dances from around the world! It will be quite some time before I wear this one out. I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys or would like to look into working out at home!
*This workout is also available for Wii
