Title: Wii Sports is a Tease!
Post by: Samstag on January 17, 2007, 06:16:21 pm
It's interesting that I've been playing Wii Sports every day for almost a month now and apparently haven't seen everything yet. 

I was watching my wife do the fitness test the other night and she was doing so-so.  She had been at about 48 or so and did well enough on the tests that I said she'd probably get up to 40-44.  She got a 28!  We were amazed and looked at each other with raised eyebrows.  Then an unusual sound effect draws our attention back to the screen where the 28 is drooping and shortly fell off the bottom.  Then they gave her the correct score: 42!  What a cruel trick!  I laughed, but the wife was a little less thrilled.

Well, paybacks are a ---smurfette--- I guess.  Yesterday I did really well and was finally given my first 20 (from 26).  I was pretty happy.  Wait!   Drooooooooop!  It was actually a 22.   >:(  The wife was more amused than I was this time.

Hehe, I've been playing Brain Age lately and it has a series of tests that tell what your brain age is.  I'm generally somewhere between 22-26, but one time it said 73, I couldn't figure it out since I thought I did pretty good.  It then said, whoops, we made a mistake in our calculations, your actual brain age is 24.

It does it to mess with you. Just the game having a little fun at your expense.

I actually haven't done the fitness testing, but my wife and I found the Brain Age stuff to be quite fun, and we did have a few chuckles along with the game at the others expense. ;)
