Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps is about to get a video game. Michael Phelps: Push The Limit is a Kinect-powered swimming game from 505 Games that is scheduled for a June release. It features the ability to pit yourself against famous Olympian Phelps in head to console swimming contests.
Along with all the fun of competitive swimming, the game also promises to teach the dedicated player technique as well... although, honestly, I can't see how it could teach more than arm movements, unless, of course, the game calls for you to lie across an ottoman or something while Kinect scans your entire body for proper technique.
I'm sure you want to see the reveal trailer for this title:
The gilded age of realistic, athlete-endorsed swimming video games has long passed, but we all fondly remember classic aquatic video games like 1977's arcade hit
Also: Michael Phelps doesn't swim in your toilet. Don't pee in his pool.

This looks ridiculous, and Phelps is gangly and ugly.

A swimming game?
This takes me back to the Atari Summer Olympics days of pressing A x B till your wrists hurt.
No thanks Phelps - just do another couple of laps, take a bong hit and call it a day

HA. I love how they try to make it seem so intense and awesome with the music and the slow mo parts. Thats hilarious.

There better be an after-meet side game where you get drunk and buzzed and try to arrogant your way out of getting a DUI.

The least I can expect of this game is for it to have great looking water. If they're gonna make a game built around being in a pool and they can't make it look good, why bother? Gameplay on the other hand... only the vidya gods know.

I'd rather see a Fred Phelps game made. Namely a game that would let you ceaselessly beat Fred Phelps face into mush over and over again.
