A short while ago, video game publisher Ubisoft added to the already robust assortment of fitness-based video games. The title, Fit in Six, was released onto the Wii and PS3. The Wii version ended up being fairly good. The PS3 version is a little bit better, though with a catch: the improvement only rings true for PS3 owners who have Move.
It seems that nearly everybody these days have a few pounds they would like to shed and video game companies know it. A fairly lucrative market of fitness-based video games have emerged over the last few years. While many of them promise the moon as far as getting in shape goes, it seems that few truely deliver. Ubisoft's Fit in Six, however, just might be the workout that actually works (assuming, of course, it's used more than once in a while) though it's hardly more than a glorified exercise DVD.
The trouble with fitness games is that they don't always provide the proper motivation to actually commit to using them regularly. That's why it's hard to compare those to a personal trainer, who you'll feel bad for ditching on a regular basis.
Ubisoft aims to get you off your couch and on your feet with a wide range of workouts tailored around the six different elements of fitness. Fit In Six will have you dancing, kickboxing, crunching, and downward dogging. But can it keep you coming back for more?
I only played EA Sports Active for a couple of minutes and I got a rocking body like that in the picture! Imagine what this game will do for me!
Oh, yeah. You don't even have to do anything--just watch the characters exercise ;)
Three Move games out today!
With just one week to go until PlayStation Move Heroes, three Moves games have hit the market to attempt to convince you to part with your money before the six heroes fly in next week. Here's what's out this week.
Sony do not like making money. How can they launch Move Heroes with such little marketing?
TopSpin4 is a disappointment. Bad Move integration - one of the worst I've played so far.
Move Heroes looks like the latest R&C games - same visual quality. I am impressed (judging from the demo). Only beef I have (with the demo) is you can't rotate your character (or maybe I just didn't get it).
Rest I didn't care about. ;)
