New Obesity-Fighting Game

This game somehow sounds a lot less fun than Dance Dance Revolution. (Which I do not yet own, because there are seven thousand versions of it and I have no idea which is the good one.) Anyway, this is not DDR, it is something else.

"'Body Mechanics,' teaches youngsters the disadvantages of obesity while involving them in play. At the opening of the game, Neuro, a Yoda-like wise man appears who narrates the game plot and requests gamers to join the team of superheroes who fight against the Evil Coalition of Harm and Disease... The fighting takes place inside the body of Jack Decayd. If the villains of the Obeez City are not contained, 'Jack will die soon.'"

Okay, at first I totally thought that was the "Evil Coalition of Ham and Disease." I would totally play a game involving evil ham, so get on that, game developers.

As a gamer, I have to say this is the most confusing and stupid idea I've ever heard for making a "video game"

It sounds similar to another video game I heard of. Where a child with cancer fights off the cancer cells, to help them psychologically associate with their own getting better.

Should it be any surprise someone decided to reinvent a game about fighting cancer, to a game about fighting obesity?

And here I thought the Grand Theft Auto series was a bane on video games. Looks like we have a new winner.
