    Overall, this game is exactly what it's titled: The Biggest Loser. Most licensed games will use a franchise name and little else, but this isn't one of them.

    The Biggest Loser impressed me. While this game certainly has some flaws in its motion tracking and lacks the polish of some of the higher budget fitness games from bigger publishers, when it comes to finding a workout that can get your heart pumping, The Biggest Loser can compete.

    Fans of the show will enjoy this title immensely, while others can still get a lot out of the content offered here, especially if their only exposure to exercise is Wii Fit.

    One might be quick to pass a title like this off as an attempt to cash in on a popular TV show. Heck, we see it all the time. There is real value here though....The game is an extension of the show in that it provides a new way of enabling people to lose weight and this deserves praise.

    I bought this game for the Wii system about a month ago and forgot I had it. I found it last week in the bag and decided to put it in my system. I am TOTALLY satisfied with it!!! I was so surprised and impressed at the time of my weigh it to see that it's done exactly the way they do it on the show. I found myself getting nervous and then excited to see that I lost two pounds. I've decided that maybe I should eat better to see if how much I can lose on a diet and working out. I'd recommend this game to anyone!!!!… Expand

    I love this game, but I didn't give it a 10 because the warm-up is always the same and it doesn't have a lot of excersises to choose from. BUT I did give it an 8 because I did the Upper Body workout two days ago and I'm still feeling it in my abs and arms. It definitely does work, you just have to do it correctly and not be lazy!… Expand

    This game has motivated me to move. I am an excercise avoider...and with it right there in the livingroom, I have no excuse. I also can do it with no sneakers on...which for some reason I really enjoy?! Jillian makes me mad, but Bob I love, the first few times he called me his "overweight lova" I had to stop and laugh. PROS: challenges are fun (and hard) workouts are diverse and not boring options for 1,2 and 3 month work out schedule options for beginer, mod, and advanced workouts can change schedule around ahead of time can put in calories eaten daily gives feedback on calorie intake and workouts CONS: why can't my Mii be my character? I don't want to be Ali, nor do I want her weight loss to register at MY weigh in. A BIG disapointment for me. It does track my weight loss on a graph, but not when I step on the scale. Only one warm up and cool down routine is offered.… Expand

    didnt really do it for me. Not the best looking game and rushed and unpolished in places. A quick cash-in attempt on the license, could have been so much better if done right.… Expand
