I honestly wouldn't have expected this, but one of the first games to use the Wii Fit as a controller [and by a third party, no less] is actually, dare I say it?, fun to play? Seriously, racing down slopes, pulling off tight turns, and doing awesome tricks, all while using the balance board to controler you skier, is really fun.
Yeah, it costs quite a bit, but Wii Fit is cool too.
How does it work, you stand on the board and it tilts or something?
The board is weight-sensitive in four areas of its surface, left-right and front-back. The later doesn't come into play in We Ski, but by shifting your weight left or right you can turn your character. It's fun AND it promotes healthy living!
That sounds fucking awesome, actually. I'll get it if I run by spare cash that I feel like spending. I'm saving up now, but for Bonnaroo (music festival).
Wii Fit is excercise but it's become clear that it's built in "health tracking" is downright useless, if not potentially harmful to people who actually attempt to use it to track their own health.
At any rate, from what I've seen of Wii Fit, it doesn't look anything close to fun. This skiing game sounds like it could be fun though...

It tracks weight and BMI, as well as how well you do in the various minigames and excercises. BMI's problem is that it's not designed as a universal system for measuring health.

This thing is awesome!
