I am without words.  No, actually I do have words but they are jumbled around in my head like a great storm in the middle of a brackish sea.  The following is a prime example of why old people with no imagination should never, ever, try to make a video game. Or, on the other hand, its proof that they are the only people who should be allowed to make video games.  It all depends on how you look at it.

The University of Florida as just spent over 400k and the time of a, apparently, very lonely woman to make a game whose purpose is to teach pre-teen girls to avoid sexual encounters.  Beware, even the grave sin of making out is included in these transgressions!

But its not just a normal game played with controllers. No. Its a motion control game where the players wear bodysuits in order to control the characters.

Let me say that again.

To play this game, which is supposed to teach you to abstain from sex, you wear an entire body suit to control your character.

I seriously need to play this.

Also, please note how horrible this game actually looks. The avatars look like undead mannequins, and move as if they are having a seizure. Honestly, if some seizure laden undead mannequin cornered me for some heavy petting I can guarantee you that abstinence would not be a problem.

    Oh. My. God. This will be fun.

    No but in all seriousness. Bodysuits? Gameplay? Map our movement as we go? Not "new" per say but giving the player complete control is a plus in my eyes. However I am always the one harping on how idgaf about 3D games-give me perfected VR.

    It'll work. You know why? Because if anyone finds out you've played this game they won't want to be anywhere near you, therefore; zero sex life.

    Why didn't they just make a "Take Care of Baby" simulator so when young teens see how hard it is to take care of a kid and balance the rest of life they can make their mind up. Sort of a *shudder* "16 and Pregnant" approach to getting the same message, but much more effective than this I'd believe.

    Omgs, forizzle? A game where they teach you life lessons? That's never happened before! Lyk, this is teh best game evars!

    Ugh, is my only word for it. And idiotic. It might be worth it just for being so bad though! ...wait, would the game allow like...massive orgies, but at high point costs? ...this sounds really scary. I mean, what all would they do to punish you for making the "wrong" choices and whatnot, other than just a point decrease? Bleh...

    Well the main issue I see here being a majority of the girls in that age range don't own a xbox 360
    much less of a chance that they'll own a kinect

    Honestly, I doubt it'll teach kids about abstinence at all... At least when I play a game, I just play to win. Just because I have to kill people for points doesn't mean I'm gonna take that kind of view onwards with me for the rest of my life. (Or at least I hope not... >>) If kids play this game, it'll either be to make fun of it, or just win and move on to the next new game out there.

    Couldn't they have done this with flash, ditch the motion control, make it look much better.
    Now I'm no graphics whore but come on ps1 had better graphics then this. With 400k where'd it all go?

    Wearing body suits...

    So, how far do you have to go before you, you know, fail... and how involved would the body suit be in the process?
