A writer from TheGamersHub has set themselves a hard challenge, to get fitter and lose weight playing a computer game! They are going to be doing it by playing Move Fitness, a game for the Playstation Move which uses the Eye Toy and two Move controllers.
Push Square: "Sony’s stab at the exercise game fad Move Fitness is heading to North America this week. The title – which originally launched in Europe way back in 2011 – sees you using the PlayStation Move motion controller to pant your way through a series of rigorous work out routines. The game was developed by the same studio behind the heavily underrated The Fight: Lights Out, and has some neat sparring mechanics as a result."
Let's see if America isn't burnt out on Wii Fit or Kinect.
Time to see if you can get the ATM masses to shell out, Sony. Lol.
Nice! Funny enough, I wasn't trying to knock this game, I guess people will be sensitive, no matter what. :/
Welcome to N4G where saying anything remotely close to negative about a Sony product is punishable by disagrees and bubble theft.
I guess it is not only M$ that is casual focused. Sony seems to also like money. Who would have thunk?
Brash Games writes "nothing we’ve seen in Move Fitness will make much of am impression on you if you’ve already got a keep fit/exercise game. In fact, if you’re really set on using Move Fitness to help with exercising, you could use the disc as a Frisbee".
Impulse Gamer - When Nintendo revolutionised the realm of virtual fitness in 2008 with Wii Fit, it would take their competitors a few years to successfully catch up. Microsoft caught up first with their unique controllerless gaming system called Kinect and when the PlayStation Move was released, quite a few third-party companies jumped onto the bandwagon. Now Sony have released their first fitness title with Move Fitness that transforms your PlayStation 3 into a virtual trainer.
As accurate as Move may be, Kinect is really the best device for fitness games. Free'ing up your hands from holding a controller instantly puts it ahead of the class, and tracking your whole body nudges it further even still.
That said, if Move is all you have I say go for it and get in your your workouts!
