Between making exercise fun and enjoyable with the battle system and innovative traversal options, and the regular tips and advice that it gives, Ring Fit Adventure is constantly...

Remember that Wii Fit thing? Nintendo's back at it again with Ring Fit Adventure, another fitness game that initially seems like a load of old gimmicky nonsense until you actually start playing it.

Nintendo has once again engaged with the strange world of exercise games, bringing Ring Fit Adventure to the Nintendo Switch. The game aims to bring you on a fitness journey by telling a tale of a swole dragon who wants to destroy the world. Your job is to get fit enough to challenge the dragon.

So far in 2019 I've bested mechs the size of skyscrapers, pummelled ancient demons into the pavement, even terrorised the citizens of a sleepy English village as one very naughty goose. But the greatest video game enemy I've faced this year? It's Ring Fit Adventure's stairs. These things burn .

Nintendo has made fitness fun again with Ring Fit Adventure, with a package that's as easy to use as it is a great workout.

Makes exercising a game; Surprisingly fun adventure; Genuine workout guaranteed

Leg band can be unruly; Won't be for everyone

A vastly more interesting experience than Wii Fit that’s good enough to get RPG fans interested in fitness and fitness fans interested in role-playing games.

The role-playing elements are impressively involved, including experience points, skill trees, and relatively nuanced combat; Exercises are as demanding as you want and the Ring-Con works perfectly.

The levels can get repetitive and there was no need to make the story and dialogue quite this silly and uninteresting.

Colourful worlds; Bouncy soundtrack; Nice RPG elements; Ring-Con is sturdy

Leg strap can come loose; Lifeless environments; Ring can be annoying

If you're a gym addict you probably shouldn't throw out your membership card just yet, but for everyone else looking to get fitter, this is a fantastic way to do it that won't bore you senseless.

Nintendo has made no secret that they want their players to be active. The Wii Fit games, the motion controls of the past consoles, the company at least

A proper workout, and a very enjoyable one at that

Well-made accessories; Enjoyable and surprisingly deep Adventure mode; Minigames are great; You really do feel the burn

Leg strap comes loose too often; Battles go on a bit; You really do feel the burn
