Ubisoft vows to help the obese lose weight

Reveals weight management program
Hot on the heels of smash hit Wii Fit, Ubisoft has revealed that it's bringing My Health Coach: Weight Management this summer to the Nintendo DS.

Developed under the guidance of a fitness coach and a nutritionist, My Health Coach is apparently a fun way to help you balance out a twenty-a-day cigarette habit with a spot of jogging, and remind you to occasionally have a celery stick instead of pie and chips at lunchtime.

The title comes with a pedometer, so when you stagger over your doorstep wheezing, you can download your daily efforts and look at your spiralling health chart that has suddenly flat lined.

Whilst we applaud Ubisoft for its intentions, the screenshots don't fill us with confidence. The stick-man design seems more patronising than endearing to us.

Aside from helping you keep in shape, Weight Management also features trivia games, hints and tips so you don't need to have a degree in nutrition to understand what's going on.

I've also vowed to help the obese lose weight. Mine is free too.

1. Stop f**king eating cake
2. Stand up, walk round the block a couple of times

Repeat daily.

I think Ubisoft are right and that we should all make a pledge right now, detailing what we are going to do to help fat people lose weight.

I'm going to drive at them with my car, get them running, and then when they've lost a few pounds, they'll thank me.

Anyone else...?

Yes..Waste your money on this game instead of buying another 5 big mac meals for your dinner. Sounds like Ubisoft just wanna make money by exploiting other people's misery. Go for a run around with park if you wanna get thin. You don't need a computer game to tell you get off your fat bottom!

I for one can't wait to see a fatty in action playing this game, with Wii remote in one hand and pie in the other, sweating off their b******s having just navigated afew menu's.

Brilliant!

Damn right! These fitness games are pathetic. Eat well and exercise. Dead easy.

f**king great, just what the world needs another form of media to help fat stupid people to come to the very basic conclusion that, if you eat more Calories than you burn, you'll get fat!.. there you go, i've saved you 30 quid!..... no doubt you'll be off down the shops with that money to buy yourself an industrial tub of lard & a ladle for lunch!.....

How about Ubisoft start a Assassins Creed pakour training academy for kids or set up Patented "Sam Fisher" Echelon V training courses all over parks? HAHA Wink
