From Gameswire.net: "Department of Health giving fat children Wiis as part of fitness experiment.
The Department of Health is currently trialling a new project that involves giving games consoles to overweight children in order to combat rising obesity levels.
In his annual report, chief medical officer Sir Liam Donaldson highlighted the scheme, which is attempting to counteract the usual effect of prolonged video game use (obesity and weight gain) by encouraging kids to play the sort of games that involve movement and active, physical participation."

They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
