This looks really cool but I just signed up for Zwift (virtual cycling MMO) for my video game workouts. Maybe later if I want to mix it up (also I've been curious about that Switch boxing workout game too).

For it to have a score in the high 70s, it needs some scores in the 50-60s... I haven't noticed any reviews in that range yet? Maybe I need to look through the OP again.

I would also like to think a Yes/Recommended counts as a 100? It's essentially a 1/1 or 0/1 scale.

Look forward to playing this soon. Got a nice pre order price where I live. This seems more fun than Wii fit did to me. Good with the positive impressions so far.

Ultimately this game is meant as keeping you entertained while you work out if you have an issue doing so. I'm going to look at it as a work out that keeps me distracted and will give my thoughts as such

Sweet, this looked cool to me from announce and is turning out just about as well as I could expect. I'll try to pick it up soon! And some other healthy habits, too.

Am i too late for a possible OT title? The Legend of Ring Fit - Skyward Pulse ^^

The Mrs. wanted some way of a light workout, although she doesn't really need it ... maybe it's a stealth-notice to my lazy fatass. Oh well, might look into this around holidays. ^^

There are only two reviews on metacritic, a 78 and an 80. The post is really pre-mature.

I really hate doing Cardio, but I do strength training already.
This is going to be so perfect to fill that Cardio void, and make it less of a drag.

Kinda BS the "recommended" ones don't count as 100s. I guess that better explains the scoring then because of all the reviews I've seen that don't use a 10 or 100 point scale are quite positive but I guess they won't count. Well that and like you say there only being 2 numbered reviews being counted so far.

Feel like they should use more of a rotten tomatoes type approach where it's Buy/Don't Buy ratio, rather than a numeric average.

Just saw the GameXplain video and it looks pretty neat. Kinda interested in this.

And Andre about not losing weight: calories in, calories out my dude ;-)

in my country games are expensive and I just tend to buy those who are really good. and ONE of the metric I use to analyse if a game iss good enough for me to spend 350,00 reais (almost 90,00 dollars) is meta and open critic.
I understand the pricing, but if you want to be more purchase conscious, your better bet would be to watch videos and gameplay impressions rather than just going off of the aggregate score. Not every game is going to be a 90+ AAA blockbuster. Many niche games score lower simply because of that.

A number doesn't paint the full picture. The content of a review is what's important.

did you see the part where I said "ONE of the metrics"?
of course this is not the only thing I take into consideration, but it's an important one (so important that people open threads to talk about it)

Fair enough. It's gotten to the point where I don't even look at review scores anymore, though, and I tend to be more purchase conscious these days. A low score can artificially affect my opinion for a game I might actually enjoy quite a bit.

Even then, high 70's for a fitness game is actually pretty damn good.
