  • Summary: The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to your whole body thanks to the pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board (name not final), which comes packed with Wii Fit. The board is used for an extensive array of fun and dynamic activities, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and games. Many of these activities focus towards providing a "core" workout, a popular exercise method that emphasizes slower, controlled motions. Family members will have fun staying active and talking about and comparing their results and progress on a new channel on the Wii Menu. [Nintendo]… Expand

    An excellent combination of honest training and highly entertaining partygames. Losing weight has never been this much fun. [May 2008]

    Wii Fit is a great supplement to your existing exercise routine, but I don’t think it will ever replace a gym membership and proper eating. However, it does provide at least one very unique experience: the improvement and awareness of your center of balance.

    Casual gamer, hardcore gamer, it doesn't matter. Wii Fit is an excellent way to introduce a little physical activity into your daily routine -- if you can manage to find a copy.

    Kids that stay all day long playing video games should try having some fun and doing some exercise at the same time. My sixteen-year old son, who is overweight and never works out, is now having a great time with Wii Fit. And the activities that make him really move his body, like stepping and running , are his favorite ones. This may not be the â… Expand

    Wii Fit is an interesting game in the sense that it is trying to get people to work out and have fun at the same time. The Balance Board can let you do Yoga and push-ups, oh boy! Wii Fit works very well and seems useful at first but it does not measure weight correctly. Also, the game criticizes you if it thinks you are overweight by making your Mii look fat. Except for being rude, the game turns out to be pretty good, particularly the Balance games, with a more emphasis on fun. It might not be worth a large price, but its a decent game for fun, but if you're looking for serious excercise, its better to exercise without a tv screen .… Expand

    Although, Wii Fit has a high price attached to it, remember that it is a fitness program and not a game. If you were planning on buying this as some sort of substitute for eating healthy and exercising, it will do you no good. If you planning to buy this game as a tool to impress your friends, remember that the multiplayer value is low, and this game will collect dust if you personally are not interested in using it. If none of the above would trouble you, then you should consider buying Wii Fit for your Wii. Wii Fit allows the user to create their own profile which the user can protect with a password. The Wii Balance Board is able to weigh the user and the game will show the user… Expand

    This really shouldn't be called a game. You can do everything on it outside in the actual world. The only thing that it's actually useful for is being a scale if you don't have one. Basically, the japan are saying, "ohohohoho, you're obesse! haha you fatty americans!"… Expand
