There's a French company called BigBen Interactive that's looking to cash in on the Wii exergaming craze while it lasts. One of their offers, My Body Coach, is a pretty standard Wii Fit-alike that comes with one-pound weights as a pack-in. Reasonable enough.
It's the other project, Cyberbike, that is absolutely demented. Cyberbike's exercise pack-in is going to be a full-size exercise bike. Seriously, that thing in the pic? Comes with the game. Somehow.
Cyberbike looks like it's being pitched as a sort of biking sim hybrid. BigBen's press release touts 18 circuits to traverse and lots of customization items to unlock for your bike and biker. The game will feature a multiplayer mode where people take turns on the Wii-connected exercise bike and a story mode that is clearly going to break new ground in the field of interactive entertainment.
Now, you're probably wondering, "How the hell expensive is a game packed in with an exercise bike going to be?" You're not alone. Unfortunately, BigBen hasn't announced a price yet for the Cyberbike set. Unless they're going to make their product substantially more expensive than Wii Fit, it seems unlikely that the pack-in bike is going to be a very good one. The pics already released of it sure don't look promising, anyway.
