EA Sports Active review

Nintendo’s Wii Fit along with its Balance Board was a very popular piece of software, aiming to be a gym in a box complete with a personal trainer and calendar which would keep track of your targets and hopefully motivate you to stay fit at home.

Check out our Wii Fit review to see what we made of the game. Related: Wii Fit review, Wiis are being used in schools

Ok imagine you’re a big games studio wanting to dominate the world, you suddenly notice out of the corner of your eye that Nintendo are making millions of dollars by selling a fitness game and peripheral for the Wii. Which of the following would you do? A) Encourage gamers to play Wii Fit to try and perhaps get themselves on track with their overall fitness. B) Jump on the bandwagon by developing your own software and peripheral. If you said A it suggests you are a kind hearted person who tries to do the right thing. If you said B...
