The GameDaily One-Minute Review

It's true. Wii Fit won't necessarily make you fit, but it's a clever way to pull people off the couch and get them moving. Nintendo's new exergame centers on a finely tuned Wii Balance Board that measures the weight distribution between your right and left feet. Stand on it and enjoy the 40 exercises that consist of yoga, strength training, cardio and the most fun, balance games like hula-hooping and bopping soccer balls with your head. We'd like to see more of these quirky games, and the more traditional exercises, while challenging, will likely get old in short order. Lack of a serious multiplayer or party mode is the biggest omission, but since the game installs a Wii Fit channel on your system, we can only hope that means regular updates are in the works.

matilainenanssi: Wiii Fit is Great

I could not wait to get the Wii Fit. I bought one 3 weeks ago and I have been working out every night, 1 hour of step basic and advanced short distance running, a couple of youga and strength training. In addition to having fun I have lost 12 pounds. I love the Wii Fit I hope they come out with more cardio exercises.

bowenmr: Wii Fit is fun!

I am one of those people who actually got up off the sofa because of Wii Fit. The time goes by so quickly. I like that even if you are the only one playing, there is always the challenge of bettering your score.

theatrelust: I played it at my friends and...

I think it was kinda cool. It's unique and it's good that Nintendo's making games suited for the Wii. Gotta say, though, I think I'd rather stick with DDR. It gets you moving faster and I have crappy balance. ^ ^

mousewhiskersmd: good idea but not perfect

I've has it about a week. First problem obviously is that it's impossible to get. It's not like this item was just released. Game unit was easy to get used to. It does have a nice variety of things. But it feels like some of the games were unfinished. For example there's a dance game under the Aerobic section. Trouble is the footsteps don't seem to follow the beat exactly, and the music itself is pretty cheesy. It does get people moving. I give them credit for finding creative uses for the Fit board. Even my more lazy family members are playing with it and getting their butts off the couch. it does seem like the exercises are mostly foot oriented, which is odd since the Wii has such great hand controllers. I do wish someone would write other games/activities for the Fit board. It's a neat controller. Overall I am happy I bought it and I look forward to using it more. I give it a 9 out of 10

achrockett: Whooohooo

This game is fantastic. It 'will' get you fit if you stick with it. When I started, my BMI was above average. Three weeks later, it was normal. I met, and continue to meet my weight loss goals, and enjoy doing it. Combined with the Wii sport activities, you can surely get a good, versitile workout in. This is everything exercise should be...fun.

dannynmaria: worth it

I couldn't wait till this game came out and I am not disappointed. It is fun, you can switch up to balance games or aerobics, stepping, etc., so you don't get bored. One word of caution, it you have a rug in the room where you set up your Wii Fit, make sure you put the extensions on the feet of the board. I didn't & the weight it calculated was off by nearly 10 lbs. Unfortunately so was my BMI....now instead of overweight I am obese! It is still motivating, got it Friday, worked out 30 mins, and yesterday, became so involved I played for 45 mins. Anything that can keep your interest, motivate you & get you off the couch for 30 mins a day can't be bad for you.

lyyn65: I'm 60! It's been Great!

I bought this because I have gained soooo much weight that I no only AM 60, I FEEL like 60. It has been 2 days now and believe me, I am sore, but I find I have already changed my mood and outlook. Now I know that I can be 60 and FIT, not 60 and OLD. I love it, love it, love it. Beats a Hot Fudge Sundae!
