What, in your opinion is the best physical video game? This can be a dance-styled game like DDR or Pump It Up, a Wii game that requires lots of movement (Wii Sports), or any other movement-heavy video game.

Put a comma in the title. It sounds like you are selling Physical Gamers.

I think Wii Fit is probably the most successful physical-training game, but that's because it's basically the only one, however, I would say DDR is probably the most popular (not right now, but in total) of any games that make you move.

For certain female friends of mine almost any game can be physically intense. It's fun to watch as they swings their hands, grasping the controller, left or right trying to get that extra jump distance on things like Super Mario World.

Personally though, I can break a sweat over Warioware given the right conditions.

I'll give you £3.50 and a packet of menthos!

And on a less serious note, I sometimes found Guitar Hero to be too much effort. And my wrist would hurt after a while, not through over-movement or anything, just that the edge of the tiny guitars are a bit pointy and hard.


So I'm going to have to go with the old shoot the zombies with the plastic blue gun games you find at bowling alleys and arcades...


"Hello, it is me, your cousin Roman. Would you like to go bowling?"

Thanks for the tip.

I forgot about Wii Fit. Odd, considering it's everyone's favorite "little white thing you stand on".

Drinking? Darts? Maybe we go to a strip club, or go out have a few beers and shoot some pool?

Dude ever since your girlfriend/me died you've been really a bit of a killjoy.


PS. I just ruined the ending for anyone who hasn't completed it yet. STILL.

A guy called Pumpitup asking if we like a few games including pump it up?

Bit spamm-ey to me...
I'm surprised you even know what Pump is! It's usually brushed over by "Is that like Dee-Dee-Arr???" comments. And the name was spur-of-the-moment, as was the thread. It's hard to come up with names when you know they won't be relevant in 6 months.

I don't know what it is but it sounded a bit like you were asking people for a free review of your product, just the way I read it I guess.

DDR imo, Wii sports you can waggle a stick for 3 hours, DDR on heavy is intense though.

Define "best"
Do you mean MOST physical? Healthiest? Most fun game that happens to BE physical?

Personally, my answer to those would be DDR, Wii Fit and Wii Sports respectively.
This from someone who's never used Wii Fit and so I don't know how physically active it makes you. So Wii Fit could fit the first category too, I suppose. But since it actually sets OUT to be healthy, I'm sure it fits the second category.

I'll interpret the term "Physical gaming" in a deliberately and somewhat snarky loose manner and say Red steel, because flailing the Wiimote with your arms in an attempt to actually get the hit detection of that game to register at a faster rate than once every eleven swings is a pretty nice way to burn some calories.

I love the Wii for how physical it makes me.

Nothing has made me leave the house for entertainment more often than that little white excrement of hell.

Twilight Princess is my favorite physical game. I really got into character with that.
