From news.com.au:

Scott Rhodie is a 34-year-old video game journalist who believes that beer, fast food, and late nights are the staple diet of life.

Keen to lose some of his holiday kilos, Rhodie decided to use Nintendo’s popular game Wii Fit for two weeks, IGN Australia reports.

Wii Fit uses mini-games, a balance board and motion-sensitive controls to measure the player’s movements.

Normally, dodging slow-moving cars and running red lights while impaired is no laughing matter, but students and officers had a chuckle at how silly drunk driving is during a test of an impaired driving simulator yesterday.

Peterborough County OPP brought the vehicle, which is the shell of a car outfitted with a video game console, to Adam Scott Collegiate yesterday to show automotive technology students what they will be constructing.

The students will spend the next several months gutting a car to remove the engine and hooking up video game controls and a television screen to give the user the sensation they are driving in the immobile vehicle.

But the key to the experience is a pair of goggles that simulate the effect of having twice the legal blood-alcohol limit.
