+ Fun and unique

+ Some great balance games on the wii fit.

- I don't like the way you have to select a new exercise every time, being able to choose a routine that flows into the next would be more like a gym/yoga workout and I feel would be more enjoyable. When in dual mode it would be nice to pick a player rather than the wii and then their statstics would come up at the end as well as yours.

+ IT'S A TRUELY GREAT PRODUCT

- DIDN'T LIKE BEING FORCED TO BUY AS A PACKAGE, YOU APPARENTLY WERE OUT OF STOCK OF WII FIT'S AND WOULD ONLY SELL AS A PACKAGE?????. VERY UNFAIR, AND IT WASN'T ANY CHEAPER BUYING THIS BUNDLE THAN BUYING THE GAMES AND FIT SEPERATE!
ONLY DID THIS AS A LAST RESULT, BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT MY DAUGHTER TO BE DISSAPOINTED ON HER BIRTHDAY!!!

+ The Wii Fit is fantastic fun for all the family

- Too expensive, especially when lack of availability means that you have to buy as part of a bundle with other games you don't want.

+ Great fun to use, gets you doing exercise every day but doesn't feel like you are working out. The games are great especially all the balance work.

- It's a shame you have to exercise on your own, it would be more fun if you could use more than one Wii Fit at the same time, so you could exercise with a partner, or compete against a real person in the races.

+ Its great to have something in the house that you can think I am just playing a game when infact your exercising with fun. Also its fun to compete with family and friends as it makes you work twice as hard while keeping a record of your own personnal improvments.

- Doing the exercise's one at a time as this can be pretty boring if you are having to watch and wait for someone to finish before you can get on.

+ It's exactly what I wanted!

- Nothing!

+ tells your wait and bmi.

- should be wider to make it more comfortable when doing press ups.

+ Good family fun, good exercise.

- The BMI indicator is not a good guide to health. Not sure how someone who has issues with their weight would take to being called obese and thier Mii bloating up to look really fat. The BMI goes purley on height and weight and does not take into consideration anything else. So anyone with a bit of muscle on them is likely to come up as overweight. I am 5' 9" and weigh 13st 10 pounds, i do a lot of weightlifting and have defined muscles yet the Wii tells me i'm overweight and need to lose 2Stone!! If i lost two stone i'd look ill.

+ good family fun

- a bit expensive

+ The Wii Fit board is excellent value at its RRP

- The bundled products aren't worth the extra money, particularly the wii stand with cooling fan, which is worthless.

+ The whole family can use it and it helps the kids with coordination.

+ easy to set up, fun to use,

- needs a non slip cover, would be better if you could set up 2 at the same time

+ Its really good because the kids can play on it and its so easy to use.

- Tells me that I'm overweight.

+ Family and friends can join in and have fun. Even the reluctant ones soon got into the swing of it.We had a lot of fun over the Christmas period. It can also promote fitness. It might not be hard core but in can be a kick start for those with a sedentary lifestyle.
It would have got a 10 for design but the men found it too narrow for their shoulders when attempting push ups.

- When swapping from one person to another we had to go back and forth through the menus. A waste of time and we all lost patience with this.

+ Great fun for everyone. Such a wide varity of games and activities to be played. good how you can keep track of your weight and BMI certainly an incentive to lose weight as you can see the improvement on the screen

- not that good in thick plush carpets, additional feet too to be purchased.

+ fun, all family enjoy playing together. Sturdy construction. Good fun way of keeping fit

- Really difficult to get hold of, was trying for months.

+ A good range of fitness exercises and games

- you need to make sure you have plenty space

+ I bought this for my son and his family and they are delighted with it. He describes it as great and fantastic and good for the whole family. His children are 15, 13 and nearly 11. He says that it comes up to his expectations fully.

+ Exercise and fun and suits any age

- Nothing major

+ It's just such fun. I'm absolutely addicted! I have had it for a couple of months now and still use it all of the time. I just love it!

- The onyl bad thing I could say is that there aren't that many titles out to use with it yet. But the Wii Fit game itself is enough to justify getting it!

+ brilliant for entertainment, exercise and fun.

- none, so far

+ great fun for all the family.use it every day. becoming a competition between family members to beat high scores on games. great way to lose weight.

+ Different levels and lots of variety, so you can start off gently and work your way up. Great fun, even if some of the comments do get tiresome at the nth time of hearing.

- Mostly for one person at a time.

+ Great fun to use.
Easy to set up.

- Buy a rechargeable battery pack or you will spend a fortune in batteries

+ The good points are that you can exercise while having fun so are able to get healthier without realising and it is fantastic for all the family

- No bad points as far as I am concerned

+ As long as you don't expect the Wii Fit to be a serious exercise tool then you won't be disappointed. It's fun and I was quite impressed at how well it reflects your balance and posture (or lack of it) as the case may be. You can compete against family and friends and all have a laugh and its easy enough for the kids to do so it's a really good family game.

- I bought Ubisofts Fitness Coach first, because at the time I couldn't get hold of a Wii Fit at a reasonable price. For me there is no comparison. For fitness training, the Wii Fit has very limited effect. Above all it's a game and shouldn't be taken too seriously, if you're hoping to lose weight and hone and tone your muscles - forget it. I don't like the fact that you can't wear trainers and have to do it all in bare feet. After a while the balance board starts to make the soles of the feet sore and unless you're exercising in bare feet on a regular basis you soon start to feel the strain on your ankles and tendons in the feet.

+ Help to teach and maintain balance, very good exercise oportunity for those who would rather not exercise in public.

- as required to sit on the ballance board it could have been slightly bigger. adjustable hight would be a good thing for the steps exercises.

+ Lots of activities on one disc.

- Quite pricey. Any extras to be purchased aren't cheap.

+ Does what it says on the tin. A lot of fun. Nearly anyone can do it (young and old, various fitness levels). Very good for yoga, balancing. Strength exercises can be good if you are disciplined to do them properly.

- Relies on your own knowledge for things like form when doing muscular exercises (too easy to cheat). Aerobic exercises won't get you breathless. Some of the exercises are just games and probably won't contribute to fitness greatly, but are fun anyway.

+ we have been able to compete as a family and had such a laugh trying out the different tasks the children very rarely argue over this game as each one is timed

- none

+ Very addictive, easy to use.

- The graphics are a let down.

+ Gets me fit with out going to to gym and involves the whole family. also can be very competitive

- The fitness and activities are very good but there arent enough extra step routines...and so doing the same steps makes in abit boring.

+ Using it every day to do the yoga, does seem to be improving my posture

- After a while the trainers can start to grate as they say the same thing, every day at the same point in the exercise.

+ great for for all the family

+ Engaging and fun.

- Scoring for fitness seems a bit wonky -- one day high, next day low -- seems almost random.

+ Natural, Responsive Game play

- It says i am too fat!!!

+ helps keep you fit and tracks a weight loss

- Too many yoga and muscle workouts. Could be more aerobic exercises
Trainers couldbe better graphically.

+ Get fit when ever you wont. Challange with other members of the family

- getting weighed everyday.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- It tells me I'm fat

+ very challenging and good to have more than one player regisered on it

- na

+ Whole family can use it and it's got us all more active. My posture has improved already.

- It tells children they're obese when they're not.

+ Excellent for all the family and friends. Very addictive!!!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ All of it, great fun for the whole family

- None of it

+ all family can play

- not hard enough if you are already fit

+ Makes exercise fun rather than a chore. Good quality balance board fits easily under sofa when not in use and doesn't use batteries to quickly.

- needs more advanced levels to make you work that bit harder.

+ Fantastic family entertainment, easy to use, all ages can do it

- Told me that my 10 year old son was obese when he is well within national guidelines. Don't take weight too seriously for children

+ anything that gets me doing exercise is a good thing! keeps me motivated. many of the exercises, in particular the balance exercises, don't feel like you are actually exercising but after a week I could feel the difference in my stomach, felt like I'd been doing sit ups! the more you do, the more games and levels you unlock, so you are constantly challenged. can vary what you do as much as you want - easy to build up your own programme.

- music on the step aerobics is awful!!! I've also found the muscle workouts in particular are difficult to follow and take too long to do a straightforward exercise, so I tend to stick with the balance and aerobic games.

+ Easy to get going
Varied exercises

- Fitness age is largely related to balance and the technique can be learnt

+ fun for all family lots choice of things to do, we all love it.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Fun, makes me get up in the morning to do the dreaded Body Test, but keeps me on track to a fitter Mii!!!

- None as yet

+ Never really done any exercise, but now have incentive as can do half an hour each night without really thinking about it, majority of it is good fun for all the family, the individual exercise (yoga and workout) challenging for someone like me who doesn't do the whole exercise thing. Thoroughly recommend it for the whole family.

+ Its a fun way of getting exercise. I am an OAP!! and sking down a mountainside is brilliant . I have watched my grandaughters who are 12 and 13 having a great time on it, and my daughter and son in law both in their 40's also get a great deal of enjoyment from it, so something for all ages.

- I can't really think of any.

+ its very good exercise you dont know you are doing it it at all. untill the next day when you are sore ha,ha

- could do with a few more games on it,

+ It is fun there are lots of different events to do. Some of the events are quite strenuous and could be used as a fitness tool. I like the way that it makes to use it more and more to get onto the next level and open up new events.

- Not too many other than, for some of the more strenuous events there are only different levels, where more might make it even more challenging.

+ there are loads of games , and its great how you unlock new ones, it really does keep you fit and is fun at the same time.Its a great idea for interaction with the console. I have recommended this product to friends as I have had lots of fun with it.

- Its a shame there arent more games out currently to buy in conjunction with the board, because I havent played it for a few weeks as i become a bit bored of some of them. It was a novelty and it does wear off a bit as it time consuming.

+ There is something for the whole family and it is fun

- The balance games are quite difficult for those whose fitness levels are poor.

+ the whole family can be involved and its very competitive

- should have more ineractive exercise like the boxing its great and the step. maybe an aerobics or something or a circuit.

+ Its good fun for all ages, and I mean all ages. Gives a really good workout, much better than expected. Unlike gym's, you don't realise how much time you have been spending on it, until it tells you.

- A bit addictive!!!

+ Helping to excercise whilst having fun!!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ its a great game an all rounder for all the family .you dont feel like your doing exercise its a great game for every one and its not that expensive for everyting thats on it

- the only bad thing once you have done everything after a while on it i could get a bit boring so n may b in the furture they could think off a way of adding more games so we do get bored

+ fun for all family
vried games

- a pain to keep swopping people when using as a family

+ easy to use, easy to store, easy to carry anywhere, makes you feel better after your workout which does not feel like a workout as it is so much fun to do and your friends can join in with you, its a great party piece.

- very addictive you can't stop using it.

+ It keeps the kids entertained for hours and keeps them fit at the same time

- none

+ it is so much fun and appealing to everyone in the family, including grandparents

- due to stock availability in the uk, stores like yourselves are taking advantage and over inflating the price as you know the demand is high, which is unfair

+ Reviewer left no comment

- The bundle would be more worthwhile if the customer had a choice of which games to buy.

+ Easy and straight forward to use, suitable for a wide age range and just really great fun.

- Having quite a large room to use it in is preferable, it could be harder to fully concentrate on some of the games in cramped conditions if you have to be more aware of your surroundings eg: not bumping into things .

+ I love the Wii fit I've lost 8lbs in 2 weeks, these so much to do.

- Its heavy and bulky so not easy to store

+ we have bought the wii fit for the whole family. 6 of us in total, and we are having a great time with it. We haven't laughwd so much in ages watching each other take to the board. Great fun, easy to use, Wii fit is quite simply the best thing we have bought this year, and we can;t sty off it. getting fit and enjoying the experience!!!.. you just can't beat it.

- can't think of any...... no, none.

+ Allows you to keep track of your weight etc and focuses you If you want to improve your physical attributes, whether it be weight loss, muscle tone or balance.

- The work outs are all seperate and to do a full work out the time spent loading each activity is too long. I tend to use It to keep track of weight, instead of using it for the activities, making it a expensive set of scales.

+ great family fun

- none

+ Great family entertainment

- None

+ The graphics are good and the wii fit really does work

- On the wii fit game you cant do all the excercises at once, and you have to put up with all the talking inbetween and they tend to repeat themselves.

+ all good

- Reviewer left no comment

+ It's been great interactive fun for all the family, plus it really does help you lose that weight!!!
Easy to use, no getting frustrated with complicated controls

- None

+ The Wii Fit balance board itself, and Wii fit disk. .

- Didn't really want the other games. The "bundled" 2 games, deBlob and some sports game - don't think it's written by Nintendo - certainly doesn't feel like it - just not intuitive, doesn't use the created Wii's - I just turned off straight away.
Bought the package as the Wii Fit board was so hard to get hold of, and this was how i could get it.

+ good excersise anytime of the day
excersise without leaving the house especially good if you have children
fun excersise

- very addictive

+ good fun

- takes up space

+ Its fun and does just what it promisses

- none

+ very good game recommend to anyone

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Two games I'd been trying to get my hands on for ages in one package - ideal.

- If I had been able to find them separately I would've probably saved money.

+ Great fun for all ages, all the family can be involved

- Having to buy as part of a bundle. Only wanted the Wii Fit

+ Its fun and sets up challanges within the family, everyone is keen to have a go resulting in doing exercises which is good

- addictive, can end up hogging the game trying to beat sibling's score !!!

+ Been trying to get one for ages.

- Only really wanted to buy the Wii Fit not the othe games and accessories. But it wasn't offered on its own
