Games Review: Jog: the Body Motion Control

Wii, New Concept Gaming, £29.99

Jog is a plastic peripheral that’s been designed to get lazy gamers exercising without, its

makers no doubt hope, them even realising it. Jog is a small device that connects to the

Wii remote and nunchuk, then nestles on your belt. Then it does two things. First, it allows

you to move through the game by walking in real life (on the spot, obviously). Then, it

measures the steps you’ve taken through the virtual world of your choice. So it’s a

controller-meets pedometer that is mildly entertaining, until the realisation hits that playing

gets tiring fast when you’re pacing like a caged beast.
