14 DAY TRIAL // Zumba Fitness, the exercise and dancing video game published by 505 Games and developed by Pipeworks, has managed to have yet another week, its sixth, at the top of the United Kingdom chart while fending off a late charge from the new Call of Juarez.
The fitness game is now one of the most successful titles if judged only by the number of weeks it has managed to stay in the number one position.
For the week that ended on July 23, the second place in the United Kingdom chart belongs to Call of Juarez: The Cartel, a game which brings the western-oriented series to present day and sends the protagonists to the Mexico border in order to fight narco cartels.
Publisher Ubisoft probably expected Call of Juarez: The Cartel to make it to the top of the sales chart, but it seems that it will take launches on the scale of the new Deus Ex or FIFA 12 to bring down Zumba Fitness.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part Two from Electronic Arts has managed to take over the last position of the United Kingdom podium, mainly on the strength of the movie launching while LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean is still doing well long after its own movie was in theaters, showing the LEGO-powered games still have plenty of fight power left in them.
Call of Duty: Black Ops continues to stay in the top ten and could do so until the launch of Modern Warfare 3, the new game in the series that is being developed by Infinity Ward.
Sixth place belongs to Dungeon Siege III, the hack and slash game from Square Enix and developer Obsidian while seventh place is taken over by rally simulator Dirt 3 from Codemasters.
Cars 2, another movie tie-in, has managed to establish itself in eight place while FIFA 11 from EA Sports is in ninth place.
LEGO Star Wars: The Clone Wars is bringing up the rear of the top ten.
