+ Great price and product
- Beach sports game isn't that good
purchased 15 Aug 2008
+ Fun, innovative, great concept in playability, Unique
- Some games that are available should really be left to playing with a joystick and not to use the unique concept in controlling technology that the wii has to offer.

+ Easy to use. Good fun to play with for a few hours.
- Looses its appeal quite quickly. Needs a lot of extra bits. Collects dust. Takes up space. Only plays games, doesn't do much else useful.

+ Great fun
- Havent found any yet
purchased 11 Jan 2009
+ Great fun, love the fact that it's totally interactive and different to usual arcade style gaming - in fact, I brought it for this reason & so probably won't be buying standard games (controlled with standard remotes/joysticks) because I love the interactive experience, and so that's what I'll be using it for & the style of game I'll be buying. Also - my boyfriend, who usually hates computer games, really likes it too and we've had a good giggle whilst competing against each other in sports games.
- I was REALLY dissapointed that it won't play CD's & DVD's, I think they missed a trick there.

+ Easy to use and good motivation for daily exercising with the wide variety of work-outs available.
- Changing between the work-outs takes a little time
purchased 11 Mar 2009
+ having a 5 year old daughter, I would not be happy with a computer game that would let her just sit there. The Nintendo Wii Fit gets her up and actually gets her to do a little excersise while playing at the same time. She loves it.
- Obviously aimed at the older market as my daughter does have problems with the Wii fit picking her up when she's on it. Also, the sensitivity used at the point of jumping on the ski jump balance game is not set for kids. She loves to play on the ski jump but more often than not the Wii Fit board does not recognise when she has jumped and she crashes into the snowball.
purchased 12 Mar 2009
+ All aspects are fantastic, you can use it alone to help build confidence or put a bit of competition in when playing with friends and family.
- I can't think of any.

purchased 06 Mar 2009
+ This is a great product and is worth the money just for the wii fit, the balance board is very sensitive to movement and the scales accurate. the balance games are great fun and some of the yoga positions and muscle workouts are quite demanding combined with some of the fun aerobic activities this makes this product a true aid in keeping fit while having fun at the same time.

Feeling sore from playing the games for long periods of time. Maybe a sign of gettign old...
There is also the feeling of boredom once you gone through all the activities.

+ Great fun, easy to use and good for playing with friends or on your own
- Addictive..........housework doesn't get done!
purchased 31 Aug 2009
+ Doeas exactly what it says on the box
- even more bits required to make it fully functional for the family. Additional handsets, motion plus controllers, nunchucks, battery chargers etc. This might as well be clearly promoted from the outset.

- annoying voice
purchased 08 Oct 2009
+ You got 4 games with the console
- Although you got all of the above it would also have been good to have extra controllers even if they were offered at a reduced price. When i first reviewed this product it was on offer at a lower price and it then went up when I purchased it and then was reduced again, I think this was unfair.

The whole family love it and I have become a fitness freak on the wii fit which cannot be a bad thing. My son's face lit up on christmas morning and he loves mario Kart, it is a excellent game for all ages!
The batteries in the remote last ages too!

- Graphics are not the best for computer gains but the fun you get from the interactive nature of the games more than makes up for this

+ It's a really good game system because it is more inclusive and active than you would get with others. With the Wii Fit I've lost 12lbs in the 4-5 weeks since I got it - mainly by the motivation it gives
- The voices can be iritating after a while & especially the Wii Fit board! We bought Big Brain Academy, thinking it would be like Brain Training, but its not & to be honest it is a bit purile.
purchased 14 Mar 2009
+ ease of use, variety of sports included
