Blog: If you could design an exergame pulling ideas from 3 of the exergames you have played, what would it be called and how would you describe it? What characteristics from 3 games you’ve already played would be in this game? Name the characteristics and the game you got it from. Why would people want to play this game, especially people your age?

Video Closet: Discuss what exergamges you played today. Which was your favorite and why? Which was your least favorite and why?

Exergame design

I would have a game called Work This Out! It would come from DDR, Eye Toy Play 2, and Wii Fit. It would teach you how to dance(DDR) and you would have a bunch of different choices of different types and styles of dancing(Eye Toy Play 2). It would help you exercise because of all the dancing you do and you would have to buy a kind of mat that you would dance on and that would tell you how many calories you've burned(Wii Fit). People my age would find it interesting because it teaches you how to dance actual dance like tango and stuff and not a lot of people know how to do that.

Exergame Idea

If i could design an exergame using ideas from 3 of the exergames I played today, I would call it Getting Fit with Ski Dancing. Basically, you would be dancing to different kinds of songs while you are on skis. You would also need to be centered and balanced while you are on skis or you would fall off. And there would be certain places on the Wii fit that you need to hit. I would take the skiing from the WeSki, the dancing from Dance Dance Revolution, and the balance from the Wii Fit game. You could also, maybe, use the Eye Toy camera to show you up on the screen so you are your own character. People my age, and any other age, would enjoy playing Getting Fit with Ski Dancing because you are your own character, you're exercising while dancing, and you would improve your posture and balance without knowing.

exergame design idea

My exergame will be a tank game. It will be called Shootaround and it will be a shoot 'em up tank exergame. It will use your feet to steer and aim your tank. These ideas com from We Ski and Wii Fit. your feet will be on a balance board like control. you wall lean your feet to turn and lean front and back to aim. The other idea will be a center of balance control. this will make it easier for different people to play. This will find their center of balance and orient directions for the tank based on this. People my age would want to play this because it is a shooting game and an exergame.

Exergames

My exergame that I would design is a game it would be a game that let you get physically stronger while you have fun and help you learn that working out doesn't always have to be a pain. I got the idea of a physically stronger game from mater national and the WII fit. The good thing about exergames is that you never have to go outside, so that means that if its raining or the temperature is way to hot outside, you are still able to get a descent workout while having fun. The game would be called BASKET BALLERS and would have all the professional players against each other. I would recommend my game to people all ages especially people that love basketball.

exergame design

I think that if I made an exergame, I would include running from Wii Fit, dancing from DDR, and skiing in Wii Ski. It would use the Wii Balance Board, and the Wii remote and Nunchuk. People would want to play it because it would have realistic graphics and realistic feel to the activities. People my age would want to play it because they always wonder about how they look, and this would help them get thinner (we are teenagers). People older than me would play it when their favorite games can't be played, and they need the exercise. I would call it, "Let's Wii-cise!"

Exergame design

I would design a cross between wii fit and we ski that made a wii snowboard game it would have a the balance of wii fit with the look of we ski(cartoony). People my age would want to play this game because it is extreme sports.
