this would translate well to a computer game. Couold see it working on the Wii

Naw, it wouldn't work on the Wii. The Wii doesn't have the ability to sense where the remote is in space, it just senses where it is pointing at the screen, how it is rotated, and what direction it is being accelerated in. (But not in a manner which is accurate enough to determine position.) So you couldn't detect if someone was holding their hand out to their side, or above their head.

But it could definitely be made to work with the EyeToy on the Playstation, or with a web camera on a PC.

Yeah eye toy!

HAha, great one really funny. That big guy who just busts it haha. The first shape was dumb though, no way they could fit through in a pose unless they just jumped through the hole.

actually yeah, forgot about eyetoy.

still, the wii's not too bad. I'm going to try hooking the wiimote up to my PC using bluetooth and the half life 2 mod later this week. Will report back.

lol, nice find :)

Grey:
If you watch the bottom of the screen there's an icon they show which shows how the person could get through that pose. They don't show it for the rest though. That particular pose they could get through by standing on one leg and raising the other while bending forward. They don't have to pose exactly like the hole. :-)

Reminds me of Takeshi's Castle.

sswift: OK then but it still looked hard as hell!

I wanna go! :)

Dabz

So what exactly happened to these type of gameshows over in North America anyhow?

I remembered watching a crapload of shows in that flavour when I was a kid, having people perform stupid stunts or things that make you go "wish I could play and do that myself".......nowadays all I see are friggen trivia shows and people singing/dancing (just to get boo'd off the stage) only.

Guess it's mainly a money/play-it-safe thing, like match-3 titles in the indy market.......

That's just rediculous.

The Takeshi's Castle is kind of Tron in real.
