EA Sports Active vs. Wii Fit: Which is the biggest loser?

As one of the most successful video games over the past decade, Wii Fit is a genuine phenomenon. Now the sports game experts at EA have released their own fitness title, EA Sports Active: Personal Trainer, which boasts a greater focus on cardiovascular training and traditional workouts. We spent a weekend with the new game, but what does it offer for Wii Fit fans?

The chief difference you’ll see is that EA Sports Active doesn’t include anything comparable to the balance and yoga games in Wii Fit. You’re here to get moving, increase your heart rate, and burn calories. The game keeps you constantly informed on the latter, thanks to a counter in the corner of the screen. Rather than hula-hooping cartoon characters, this offering takes itself much more seriously, with a realistic animated figure to represent the player and a selection of real-life trainers.

EA Sports Active comes with two accessories: a Velcro-fastened neoprene leg-band that holds the nunchuk to your thigh, and a rubber resistance band that’s used for upper body exercises. If you already have the Wii Fit Balance Board, EA’s game will use it in some exercises, although it’s by no means necessary to get the full experience.
EA Sports Active’s main event is a 30-day customized exercise program that’s generated automatically according to your profile. Ours didn’t spare any time in getting down to running, boxing, and stationary lower body exercises. It displays a handy graph that shows you how many calories you can expect to burn during your 20-minute session, and offers achievement trophies for outstanding performances. You can also take on a friend in a two-player, split-screen workout-off. Nothing like a little healthy competition.

So did we break a sweat? You better believe it. Wii Fit’s Balance Board will let you get away with half-hearted running, but a few minutes with EA Sports Active’s jogging or thigh-lifting exercises will have you muttering curses at the on-screen trainer. That leg-band can sense when you’re not lifting your thighs high enough, and piles on encouragement and advice accordingly. Yes, we’re still sore. Literally.

EA Sports Active also takes a more holistic approach to weight loss than Wii Fit, encouraging you to think about your stress levels and eating habits rather than just concentrating on the workouts. Unlike Wii Fit, it doesn’t measure your weight, even if you do have a Balance Board.

Will it replace your Wii Fit regime? It’s a bit early to make that call, but we’re favorably impressed, and we’re not the only ones. The concentration on aerobic, cardiovasular exercises seems likely to deliver more efficient weight-loss results than Wii Fit, and the no-nonsense presentation — together with the likeable, if nagging, trainers — won’t get in the way. It’s also some $30 cheaper than Wii Fit. As to whether it’ll deliver long-term weight loss, we’ll have to wait and see, but so far it’s looking like an excellent alternative to Wii Fit.

REVEALED: UK’s best-selling games of 2008

REVEALED: UK’s best-selling games of 2008

Mario Kart Wii and FIFA 09 lead the way as part of £1.9bn software market

Exclusive end-of-year ELSPA/Gfk-ChartTrack data supplied to MCV has shown that Mario Kart and FIFA were the big winners as part of 2008′s £4bn bonanza we detailed earlier this week.

According to the Top 10s for unit sales of both individual SKUs and the All Formats listing, Nintendo formats drove sales while multiformat efforts from the likes of EA, Activision Blizzard, Rockstar and LucasArts secured glory too.

Mario Kart Wii was the best selling single-SKU of the year, selling continually after its April 2008 release.

In fact five Wii games secured places in that chart – the others were Wii Fit, Wii Play (both Nintendo), Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Sega) and 2K’s Carnival Funfair.

Meanwhile, in the All Formats 2008 list, EA takes the top spot – no surprise after selling 2m copies in the UK as we revealed earlier today – but Mario Kart isn’t far behind at second.

And there are six titles exclusive to Nintendo formats in that list – Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Wii Fit, Wii Play, Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training and Carnival Funfair.

GTA IV, Lego Indiana Jones and Call of Duty: World at War also put in good showings in the top 10s too. (In fact, as these lists are by unit sales rather than value, it’s possible that Activision Blizzard and Rockstar might have trumped the likes of EA in the revenue stakes as their headline games were released at higher-price points on 360 and PS3 – but you’ll have to wait until we publish our full year analysis to find out more about that.)

The full 2008 top tens for individual SKU sales (units) and All Formats (units) are listed below.

2008 TOP 10 – INDIVIDUAL SKUS

1. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) Nintendo
2. Wii Fit (Wii) Nintendo
3. Wii Play (Wii) Nintendo
4. Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training (DS) Nintendo
5. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii) Sega
6. GTA IV (360) Rockstar
7. GTA IV (PS3) Rockstar
8. Call of Duty: World at War (360) Activision
9. Carnival Funfair (Wii) 2K
10. FIFA 09 (360) EA

2008 TOP 10 – ALL FORMATS

1. FIFA 09 EA
2. Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo)
3. GTA IV (Rockstar)
4. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Sega)
5. Wii Fit (Nintendo)
6. Call of Duty: World at War (Activision)
7. Wii Play (Nintendo)
8. Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training (Nintendo)
9. Lego Indiana Jones (LucasArts)
10. Carnival Funfair (2K)

Sebastien Delen, Ubisoft: Criza ajuta industria de jocuri video

Azi dimineata am vazut pe dailybusiness.ro un foarte interesant articol despre industria jocurilor video din Romania:

Sebastien Delen, managing director al producatorului de jocuri Ubisoft, a vorbit intr-un interviu acordat DailyBusiness.ro despre piata de jocuri video din Romania si despre motivele pentru care crede ca acest segment va fi ajutat de criza financiara.

sebastian-delen 

DailyBusiness.ro: Cum credeti ca a afectat criza financiara piata de jocuri video atat in Romania cat si pe plan mondial?
Sebastien Delen: Nu cred ca piata de jocuri video a fost influentata in vreun fel de criza financiara. In aceasta perioada oamenii care sunt afectati direct nu mai fac calatorii prea dese, nu mai ies atat de mult in oras, deci stau acasa, asa ca acasa au de ales intre a se uita la televizor si a se juca. Evident, nu suntem deloc afectati. Cred ca industria de jocuri video va fi chiar mai puternica dupa trecerea crizei.

DB: Sunt jocurile la fel de bine vandute si in Romania?
SD: In general, nu contam prea mult pe veniturile din vanzarile de jocuri in Romania. Daca luam in considerare ca estimam sa vindem la nivel global 2 milioane de unitati din jocul Tom Clancy Hawx, care va fi lansat in februarie, in Romania nu vom depasi numarul de 10.000 de unitati. Deci Romania reprezinta o parte foarte mica din vanzarile de jocuri ale Ubisoft.

DB: Din cauza pirateriei?
SD: Da, cred ca pirateria afecteaza foarte mult. In aceeasi masura si pretul jocului, care este destul de ridicat. Oamenii in trecut nu-si permiteau sa cumpere o consola. Dar lucrurile se schimba.

DB: Care este cel mai bine vandut joc dezvoltat in Romania?
SD: Blazing Angels, care s-a vandut in peste 1 milion de unitati. In Romania s-a vandut in jur de 5.000 de unitati.

Enraged, he king accuses him of disloyalty, strips Cecil of his command, and sends him off to slay a mysterious beast that lurks in the nearby Valley of Mist.
