Fatworld and just getting fatter
Dr. Jerz mentioned how you can select what kind of meal you want to eat but the game never says you have eaten a meal. This never explains what is actually going on to the person playing the game and can cause huge frustration and confusion. http://jerz.setonhill.edu/weblog/permalink/fatworld-review/
It is interesting how some aspects of this game may simulate real life. The exercise min-game does a good job of letting your player move much quicker once it has exercised. Just as in real life the more a person exercises the more stamini they will have and can move quicker for longer periods of time.
It is somewhat of disapointment that this game was not better suited for a fun an adventures game while helping teach kids and educational lesson. I wish this game could have been less frustrating and a lot more fun and compelling

Jeremy Barrick on Fatworld and just getting fatter: I thought that it should have
I thought that it should have been better suited to help moreso than be fun.
I agree. If the game would have worked to show actual calories consumed and how our food choices and exercise habits affect our bodies (more than just walking faster after exercising), then I think that the game would have more educational value and maybe a little more fun.
