Score 10.0/10+ Easy to set up and use unlike some other gaming machines. The Wii fit ofers fun for everyone even those who may not normally play on computer games.

Michelle, London , “Former gaming hater!”
Score 10.0/10+ The wii is beautifully designed - looks very stylish in our living room and easy to use. I'm not that great with technology, but was able to set it up really easily.
- The menu takes a bit of getting used to and can be tricky to control at first. Also, if you've got small hands, can be hard to aim the remote and press A on top at the same time. not a major problem though,just a niggle.

Score 10.0/10+ I have found the experience of the wii fit fantastic as an excercise and also as a family game. The hilarity when you are watching others doing the hula hoop or ski jumping to mention just 2 things is something that is missing when one person on their own is sitting at a computer. So for the family experience and joy on its own I would rate if 100%.

+ I love my wii-fit because it makes me always strive to better my score...I'm in a constant competition with myself! I love the encouragement it gives. I find having to try to keep the small red dot within the large yellow circle (e.g. in the yoga poses) very helpful. I love the way I can unlock new activities if I've done particularly well.

Expert reviews for Nintendo Wii
TechRadar expert review
For sheer playability, there's no console better than the Wii. Its former codename, Revolution, describes it superbly. The motion sensitive controllers are just that, and with the addition of extra controllers such as the Wii Fit Balance board, Nintendo is managing to take the concept outside the traditional realms of gaming. If you haven't played on a Wii, you won't quite know what it's like to experience. Not only are the motion sensitive controllers unbelievably responsive and easy-to-use, but it's at its best for family gaming where even grandparents can pick things up pretty…
