Wow... I gave this game a shot last night! Oh My Goodness!
I've BARELY gone anywhere in the game, but just from a physical exertion perspective, it is MENTAL.
I've been training MMA for about a year, so I've done a fair share of boxing, bag work, focus pad work as well as some light sparring... So I know how hard boxing can make you work...
But this console game took it to a new level!
Our instructor has said many a time to: "Pick your shots, because you expend a hell of a lot more energy and gas when you MISS a punch instead of when it lands."
Well, standing in front of your screen holding two motion controllers (glowing pink I might add) punching thin air definitely illustrates that point! I KNOW what a 3 minute "full out" session of focus pad training feels like... but when you try do a "training session" in the game (focus pad training - and it's at a snail pace), you work up quite a sweat... different... but WOW!
Anybody else try this game?
Anybody else think that this game takes interactive motion controlled gaming into the "alarmingly realistic" zone?
The punching accuracy is a little dodge, but make no mistake, this game is a proper workout!
Could this mean that this game might bridge the gap of "Physical ability" and "Gaming ability" in the multiplayer? I mean, could this be the game where a gamer who can train longer, harder, better PHYSICALLY actually will be better than a 13 year old l33t console gamer?
I'm gonna be "training" with this game on my off nights!
