Considering the practical application of this (getting into summer weather shape with a fun game), what's so bad about it?
Besides hating Kinect, Nintendo-less Rare, Microsoft and anything that challenges a sedentary lifestyle ...

I really don't think you have to have $ony tatooed on your thigh or hate exercise to be dissapointed that Rare's latest announcement is a reskinning of a game that's already out to make it look like it was sponsored by veggie tales.
Can you honestly tell me you are perfectly happy that this is what Rare has been up to?

I saw the pic when first clicking and said in my mind "what the --?" Then I read and remembered that this isn't actually an exercise game. To me, this kind of stuff is needed in the gaming industry because Rare (and many others) contributed greatly to the sedentary lifestyle of many a gamers (lol), so it's nice to see them try to help us lose some while still having fun. I sure could use it.
To be honest, I didn't play a ton of Rare games in the late 80's and 90's. Kameo was a pretty good game, Perfect Dark Zero was ... ok, Viva Piñata was fun to a point and BK:N&B was some of the most fun I've had with a game this century. I'm not going to pass judgment on Rare for Kinect Sports and ESPECIALLY not for this DLC pack that probably 2 people worked on. I'm convinced they will have something to show at E3 since they haven't had much output in recent years.
But, if you noticed, I didn't put Rare on a huge pedastal nor did I run a lawnmower of them. I was fair. That's all I ask of people, be fair. If you can't, go find threads and subjects that you can be fair with. I used to be a huge Sega fan, but since that Sega seems to be long gone, I just avoid Sega discussions and games (though the new Sonic really DOES look great). I just don't see how it benefits me or anyone else to actively seek out things to complain about or rip on.
