My Horse & Me (Wii review)

Haha I love that one. Well done photoshop work, too (I'm assuming, since I've never seen an outdoor escalator), on the sun glare especially.

On the original topic, I'd like to try out this horse game. Is it only out in Europe?

unless you decide to do jumping jacks for an hour with your wii-mote in hand, you wont' get a cardio workout from playing your wii. period. you might as well strap one of those vibrating belts to your waist.

Wii Fit: Cheaper to buy a handful of exercise videos...but you don't know that.

I always like that "period" bit. Period.

Anyway, yes, you are agreeing with me. Then why does it sound so confrontational? If they made a game that asks you to do a bunch of jumping jacks for an hour, then that would be a cardio workout. Or if they made a game that asked you to punch the air for an hour, that would be a cardio workout. Or if they made a game that asked you to run for an hour, that would be a cardio workout. (Hint -- they've already made those last two.)

i think you could get a workout from playing your wii. would it be as effective as going out and running 3 miles, i don't know. i do know that your wii is no substitute for a weight routine, unless you are going to do weightless exercises....and a lot of those are really hard/advanced

IGN has it listed for a February 2008 release. Oh by the way, apparently the game is made by a Dutch studio. I want to read other reviews of My Horse & Me, but there are none yet, even though the game is out here.

And I never realized that picture was photoshopped.

I still like to think it's real. But even if it isn't, I know another example. Kids who buy a moped to get to work, instead of cycling. Then they become fatter so with a lot of struggle and money they go to fitness schools. On their moped of course.
