I suppose I stand with some of the academics finding issue with the game because of it using BMI and what not. It seems nice enough, but it does seem to largely neglect muscle. I also dislike Nintendo’s advertising of it as something revolutionary to get the kids off of the couch, as DDR most certainly does that and makes it a lot more fun in the process.
There was an article I read the other day on The New York Time’s website that was more or less attacking the approach of Wii Fit and some other Wii games in general, arguing that the games that get you active without knowing it just for the fun of the game tend to be better work outs. It wasn’t a bad piece, but I can’t seem to find it at the moment.
