If you don't want to go into that much detail, then time based is definitely better than calorie based. You can burn the calorie goal just by playing high step count songs. It's just like running. Running a mile doesn't benefit you if you run it in 10 minutes. It's better to take a 30 minute run, however far that is, than to set a distance goal, because as you get better, the distance will get easier and easier. Playing for an hour will only get easier if you play easier songs. I generally play 2 hours for my work out, while using my last game to do stuff like HVAM, Paranoia Survivor and exotic ethnic. | lol same
I usually play songs in order in my games and skip a few. Then, when I get tired, I'll play the next 6-7 footer before I play more 8-9 footers. I usually go moderately because it keeps my endurance up.
Here's a problem though....
If I do an hour of gameplay, it will count for easy and difficult songs. Yet if I do calories burned, I'll always have to do a certain amount. I guess you can't have both ways, so I'm grateful that you can see the total time played in games like Extreme.
