Wii Fit: Exercise or Simulation July 10, 2008 - by Ian Bogost Over on Game Critics, part of their ongoing series on Wii Fit suggests the question, is this exercise through a game, or just a simulation of exercise. The counterpoint might be: how does it really differ from any other pop-exercise regime, in book or video form, for example. Comment from George R on July 12, 2008
It doesn't differ. Simply because people may be more inclined to exercise because of digital feedback doesn't mean it isn't real exercise, it is moreso a testament to our gratification culture. We need feedback to everything at every moment. POST A COMMENT
