Sure, Wii Fit's got Yoga, but it's not all about the bendy posture-fixing discipline. For that, you'll need the wonderfully-named Yoga, the upcoming fitness game from JoWood Productions. So, how's it different, apart from having gorgeous Anja Rubik on the cover? Allow Vassiliki Kontoulis, production coorinator at developer Dreamcatcher to tell you.
The Setup: Yoga teaches players both how to perform various yoga routines as well as providing a history of yoga, all to help players get healthy and be more active. Top model Anja Rubik, a die-hard yoga practitioner, offers helpful advice and tips to users based on her years of experience.
BeefJack writes: "In what can only be described as a slightly ludicrous marketing ploy, JoWooD publishing is advertising Wii Yoga as the ideal Valentine's gift for any woman. The game features a virtual guru accompanied by the world's #3 supermodel Anja Rubik as instructors for the user. The premise is that Yoga is a relaxing, low impact form of exercise that anybody can do with the little bit of instruction given in the game. The title aims to make the complex stretching and breathing techniques accessible. As such, it is perfect for any woman. Right?"
Square-Go writes: "Nintendo promised a revolution with the Wii and there's no doubt that it's opened many doors for videogames. Firstly in terms of the new types of play possible and also, thanks to the massive and varied audience the Wii now commands, in the types of product which can be seen as commercially viable in the new, broader, games market. Yoga is one such product. It isn't a game as such, there are no challenges, no rewards and no scores; it is designed as a virtual yoga retreat giving you full access to all the disk's content from the start."
