1. A motion-based game comprising:
- a controller configured to control a game and to output signals to a video display;
a heart rate sensor responsive to a heart rate of a game user and operably connected to the controller; and
an input device operably connected to the controller;
wherein the controller is configured to cause a series of objects to be displayed on a video display, wherein the input device and controller are configured to allow a user to respond to the objects displayed on the video display by sorting the objects, and wherein the controller is configured to change at least one game parameter based on a heart rate sensed by the heart rate monitor.
