In case anyone didn't think Michael Phelps had really "made it," he's getting his own videogame - the true sign of🃏 a world-respected athlete. His new Kinect title can't recreate the feeling of being submerged in water, but it can recreate his six-pack ☂abs in digital form!

It won't be called "Michael Phelps Swimming" or something generic like that - It's Push the Limit, and it's the first dedicated swimming title to use 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's button-free motion controlling camera (can you belꩵieve it?). Simply move your arms about in a swimming motion - albeit in an upright position - and you'll make your virtual character swim. The aim of the game is to beat Olympic medal-winning Phelps.

"The better stroke technique you have, the faster you go," said Phelps. Although, that remark had nothing to do with his swimming g✃ame (cue laughter).

"It's extremely realistic. If you had asked me five years ago if I ever thought I would have a video game coming out 🍨with swimming in it, I'm not sure what 🎀I would have said. I would never ever have thought it would be like it is. It is cool and fun," he added.

505 Games, which is publishing the game, said it incorporates real-world stro💧kes and swimming acumen to make for the most true-to-life swimming video game to date. Now that we think about it, though, there really isn't that much competition ✨out there. The best example of riveting swimming controls in a video game we can think of is cued by .

505 admitted it was tricky ♛to come up with a motion-controlled swimming game when the entire purpose of swimming is that you're submerged in water, but it said in focus groups of the game's controls, "The takeaway was when they🃏 actually experience it, it's like, 'Aha, I get it.'"

So it must be one of those you-have-to-experience-it-to-understand-it kind of things. Phelps says he hopes the game encourages players to become interested in actual 💧swimming.
