Er.. Something like that.

See, publisher Ubisoft is taking a gamble with a new motion-tracking camera peripheral for Wii that will lead to a unique experience for Your Shape Featuring Jenny McCarthy.

Stock photo, this is Jenny McCarthy from the cover art to her film, Dirty Love. Do you want her game already?

First, let’s talk Jenny. Jenny McCarthy is a genius pick for covergirl on this project, and here’s why. Since her Singled Out MTV days and her time as a Playboy playmate, Jenny McCarthy has earned a following that may have never tried a fitness game before, and her role with Your Shape could change that.

McCarthy has also become a decent comedic actress and a wholesome, published author and mom. It might have been an unlikely career turn, but it’s endeared her to another valuable demographic in young-adult and middle-aged women. These ladies may have tried Wii Fit and then given up on Wii, but a Jenny McCarthy fitness game may be enough to get them to pry open their wallets once more.

The other hook is Ubisoft’s unique peripheral which sounds like it’ll bridge some of the gap between Wii gaming and Microsoft’s Project Natal experiment. According the Ubisoft, the camera will come bundled with the game and features Ubisoft’s proprietary motion tracking technology, which provides a completely personalized and interactive work-out by scanning players’ bodies, assessing their current fitness level and then projecting their images onto the TV.

We’ll see!

Hey, what do you suppose the odds are that the game will include a jogging exercise where you recreate the supermarket scene from Dirty Love?
