Summary: A step in the right direction!
Comment: First of all, the game is not a replacement for all your exercise needs. It's a supplement/motivator. Secondly, it's not magic--it's exercise and it's not always enjoyable. Finally, and most importantly, it can really help you take a step in the right direction as you seek to live a healthier life!

Some people (like me) need a little bit of competition in pretty much anything they do. This game satisfies that need.

I also enjoy charting my progress. It's nice, and it helps keep me going as I work toward my goal.

The mini games will never win any gaming awards, but such a critique would be missing the point. And some of the games are actually pretty fun. I used to play soccer so I get a kick out of the "header" game.

This game is also a step in the right direction for Nintendo as it relates to the strength of the presently available libriary of software for the Wii. (Which unfortunately remains weak!)

Well worth the ivestment in the game, and certainly in yourself as well!

Summary: kids present to me
Comment: My kids bought me the wii and wii fit for my birthday this last may. Mind you all my kids are grown and have left home. They now spend more time at my house playing this with me than they did their last years of high school. It has brought us back together and we love the sharing and competition as well. I am not much into video games but this being something you can stand up and be active and do is remarkable. We love it and look forward to more games that will get us up off the couch and bring us together for fun.

Summary: Not Effective Use of Exercise Time
Comment: I must say though the Wii fit is mildly entertaining, it was not what I has expected when I purchased it.
I thought I would be able to have a fitness class or some training at home. What the Wii fit offers is a demonstration of very short exercises you can choose to do. There is no 'class' or even substantial segment of fitness routines anywhere on Wii fit. You must INDIVIDUALLY select to do a single yoga pose or a single set of push-ups. After each one, lasting approximately 1-2 minutes, you must choose to "retry" or "quit". When you "quit", you return to a menu to select another individual exercise. There are several things in between each and every exercise you complete providing feedback and a score. Not bad information but terrible to stop constantly and push A and wait again for another menu choice. The menu will suggest doing 2 exercises in a row, but you cannot highlight or select that as an option and have 2 in row come on screen.

The graphing and progress reports are interesting and beneficial. The concept of the board being able to measure and assess balance is great. I just don't have the extra time to stop and wait between each movement. Going through the menus constantly is frustrating when I want to exercise. It takes about 55 minutes of time to accomplish 30 minutes of workout as logged by the Wii fit.

Summary: Wii-Fit Supplementary Activity
Comment: I recently bought the wii-fit thinking it was going to be a hard-core workout like Tae-Bo or something, not the case. It's slow with many pauses between exercise moves. I think its great for the sedentary child or family fun, but definitly not as your sole exercise routine. My advice is buy it for fun, to get the family moving behind the tv set, don't buy it if you want to lose weight, you'll just be disappointed and don't buy it if you are used to intense workouts, you'll only be disappointed. Bottom line- wii-fit is for entertainment, fun and can really get sedentary kids moving! and apart from my stars given, my kids would give 5!
