MM: What sort of involvement did Mel have in the games creation?

Phil Marley: I can honestly say: total. Unlike in some games that feature a celebrity, where there might be a introductory clip of them and then a motion-captured avatar doing the exercises, in Get Fit with Mel B every single exercise is actual video of Mel doing it. Not only does this mean we deliver on our promise - youre actually working out with Mel - but it also means youre exercising with a real person who moves like you do and even strains a little bit on the tougher exercises. CG avatars can be a bit overly perfect sometimes they even move in ways that are impossible to reproduce, which can be really frustrating for the player.

Mel B stands by you all the way

During the video shoot for the game, Mel was constantly suggesting changes or even whole new moves, and added a lot of really cool dance moves to the dance aerobics section: when Mel tells you at the start of the game that Im going to show you how to get fit the way I do, that really is true. http://melbgame.com/B7kgW
