Wii Fit (Includes Wii Balance Board) Reviews: Nintendo Wii Exercise game

+ Make you exercise without it feeling like exercise

- Need to buy a cover separately for it.

+ Fun way of exercising. You can really feel your muscles working on things like the hula hoop and boxing.

- Too much button pressing between activities is disrupting when trying to excerise. It is a shame you can't link up the yoga moves into one sequence rather than going through them individually.

+ It's great for single use or lots of people and gets you off the sofa! :-)

+ Its really good at recording your progress and you are able to unlock extra things the more time you spend on the wii fit. Great fun

- Trying to make the time to go on.

+ This is great fun. No, it won't replace going to the gym or working out, but its not intended to. Some of the games are great fun, whilst some do have you build up a sweat. I like that you need to get to a certain score too before you can unlock more advanced levels. Means you can't do yourself injury. Great to get you doing a bit more exercise instead of sitting around the house.

- I think switching between the mii characters could be better. Half the fun is playing it with other people, and it would be easier if you could just switch mii's without having to go back to wii fit plaza. Its my only gripe, and a small one at that

+ Good for all ages, both sexes and all abilities.

+ All round family fun

- I don't get to go on it enough!

+ Good fun and good exercise!

+ It helps to motivate you to exercise a bit each day, and gives you a goal to work towards.

- It tells you if you're unbalanced!

+ This product makes getting fit fun, as you can compete against others, or just yourself. You can set goals and see how your are doing in achieving those goals. There's something for everyone, and you really do work up a sweat!

- It doesn't account for me being pregnant!

+ Superb

- None

+ keeps you in good shape

- none

+ excellent product and idea concept the balance games are fantastic fun

- the yoga and areobics are tideious has you keep having to exit and reneter per move there should have been a sequence of movements you could learn progressivley getting harder

+ Good all round entertainment plenty of fun for all ages.

+ all good

- have not found none as yet

+ Good laugh gets you sweating. Wouldn't recommend you use it as your only form of exercise.

- Can be temperamental.. The weight measurement can be off. It said i had gained 12lbs in a week and then 3 days later said i had lost 9lbs.

+ It's really good if you want to get fit & stay in shape. The excercises are quite challenging & the games are very fun.

- You ache a bit the next day!!!!!!!!!!

+ Range of activities and the fact that all your Miis are used as background characters.

- Time taken to switch between players if using the Wii Fit with a group of friends and family. Could do with more extension on Step routines.

+ I can't fault it I think it a brilliant product. Good fun and a laugh.

+ easy to set up

- none i can think of except it should come with rechargable batteries

+ Good product, it pushes you to get fitter, and helps you to have a more flexible body. Better for the children who just sit down all day gaming.

- Not really any bad points, other than when you want the children to take it in turns, theres quite a wait while it reloads a different player.

+ Encourages you to get fit.

- Addictive.

+ very addictive game

- very addictive game

+ Easy to pick up, good workout, lots to do

- Having to unlock the exercises (But I can see why they did this). Not being able to customize your own workout routine.

+ unlocking the new levels is great, i love the aerobics and the balance games especially the boxing and step

- yoga and the muscle training are a bit boring but would be good for someone who was into that sorta thing

+ Fun way to exercise and monitor your BMI and Weight. As with most WII games, it gets the kids of their bottoms and gives them exercise.

- I would like to be able to turn the tips and messages off. They can be repetitive

+ Great concept, fun, challenging, for all age groups

- Reviewer left no comment

+ good fun, gives you real targets if your trying to lose weight

- None

+ Great way to get fit

- dont work on carpets

+ Excellent exercise for all the family & fun too!

- Sometimes there can be a slight delay in the actions you perform to what you see on TV screen

+ Extremely user-friendly. Wide variety of workouts/exercises that are FUN but still get the heart rate up and help to tone your bod. Encourages you to exercise and gradually increases the skill levels/repetitions to suit your pace of working. Body test information is a useful tool to monitor progress if you have set yourself a goal to reach. An excellent piece of kit!

- Board needs to be on a firm surface to give accurate information and calculations for weight, BMI, etc. - a thick or spongy carpet-type surface could result in false readings.

+ It's all good. Great fun. Great value for money. We use it every day.

- None

+ Entertaining and get fit at the same time. Fab!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Great fun, I have lost weight, very engaing

- Can't stop playing it!!!!!

+ good family fun easy to use

- needs more activities can get a bit tedious and repetative

+ fun for all the family, very interactive - my daughter loves

- none

+ Al of variety between games and it's suitable for all ages

- When playing the games with friends you have to exit the game to select your character. Very annoying

+ Fantastic to motivate yourself to exercise, great fun.

- that once you unlocked all the exercises there is nothing else to push towards

+ It is a good support in helping you get fit and makes me feel bad if I've put on weight!

- Needs more things to do on it as It's starting to ge repetitive.

+ easy to use and lot's of fun for all of the family. Takes weight up to 23 stone, therefore virtually anyone can use it. Wii Fit parties are great fun!

- Some hints and information can be very repetitive. Also, Wii Fit very difficult to find due to high demand.

+ lots of fun

- limit to number of people you can keep records for

+ Good at keeping you motivated. Nice range of exercises from easy to challenging.

- No way to string exercises together which can result in a bit of waiting around.

+ A great way to excercise do not even realise you are doing your body good.

- Graphics aren't great.

+ helps you lose weight

- sometimes the balance board doesnt register when you do the step part

+ Fun way to try to keep fit. Keeps a record of your weight and overall achievements.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ A great way of ensuring that you keep fit

- Cost and availability

+ Almost all of it is superb

- Can't find any

+ good level of challenge for a moderately fit person - can really feel the core muscles getting stronger as a result of yoga.
the first time I have run anywhere for years .... thoroughly enjoyable.

- Weighing yourself every day (as it suggests) is not actually as helpful as once a week.
The Wii Fit does not use your goal to plan an appropriate programme, which is a little frustrating as it is easy to stick to the exercises you enjoy rather than the ones that could do you the most good.

+ good family fun

- annoying background music

+ . It really does give you a work out! You'll be breaking out in a sweat after a good solid 6mins of hula hooping .Its fun and gets the whole family involed/motivated to get fit and lose weight. Once my mum got her wii fitness age it motivated her to get more active and eat healthier. She was on the wii fit everyday and started to eat more healthy. On her first week on the wii fit alone as part of her daily exercise she lost 3lb! .Its very sensitive and smart. It knows immediately when a different user is playing another person's profile or character . Its very informative and gives you daily fitness tips/ advice. .It has a variety of games .The yoga and muscle work out trainers are very motivating, carm and relaxing, they make the stretches easy by doing it with you through every single step of the way, and they try to convince you to carry on/keep up a good pace if slow down or stop.

- .Not very challenging at all. You can unlock all the games and muscle work outs in a matter of days. .Once you've pretty much unlocked and got used to all the games and its level of difficulty, you tend to get a bit bored.

+ It monitors changes and also allows you to add the other sports you do.

- Bad - needs more games. Surfing would be great

+ It keeps the kids active whilst playing computer games. Its really good all-round family fun.

- None

+ The product is excellent in all aspects of keeping fit & having fun. I wouldn't go and do yoga normally, but the Wii Fit makes it fun. It's great for kids too, with enjoyable balancing games.

- None whatsoever!

+ Excellent family product. Really encourages family interaction, brilliant

- None

+ Brilliant product. Enables you to build up your fitness gradually and enjoyably.

- Some of the individual exercises could be a bit longer in time

+ interactive, fun, addictive, exciting

- none

+ the game is fantastic the layouts are good its easy 2 use

- the graphics are poor

+ great fun, enables you to do exercise without really trying and is easy to use. suitable for all the family. has a password facilty on individual accounts so you dont have to share personal info with other users.

- battery life is very short you really need to get a rechargeable battery pack. does not measure your weight accuratly if used on carpet. we noted a -3.7stone difference when we used at a freinds house who has carpet, could have more games as at the moment there is only wii fit and a skiing game.

+ An excellent product that helps you exercise whilst keeping you interested in what you are doing.

- The trainers and their explanations could be a bit briefer to make it quicker.

+ great fun, does actually make you feel like you've done some work even if you spend less than an hour at a time. I'm not generally a gamer, but really enjoy using this!

- I've not used it as much as I would have hoped - not sure if this is just cos I'm lazy or because after the first week or so the excitement to use it lessens somewhat. that said, when I do have another go after no using it for a while, its still as much fun as ever.

+ great for people who haven't got time to get to the gym.

- not multi player .

+ Most of the exercises are great, good variation, love the footy heading and skiing- great buy

- Don't like the BMI testing for children, nonsense really that could have bad effect on children. A friends daughter who is big framed came up obese - totally ridiculous and not funny.

+ its an excellent and fun way to keep fit and try different types of exercise, 20mins each day is all you need, but you will find that you tend to do longer

- there are not really any bad points. the only thing l would say is that one of the aerobic exercises could be more challenging in my opinion.

+ Gets you off the Sofa . Good fun when you have friends round.

+ LOVE IT TO BITS...KIDS LOVE...HUSBAND LOVES IT!
SOME GREAT GAMES AND AN EXPERIENCE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

- THOUGHT WE'D USE IT MORE

+ good at motivating exercise and useful with the great british summer we are having

- none

+ Good family fun, helps you to get fit together while enjoying yourself

- Prices of games can be expensive

+ It's fun to play with the family and the aerobics section does get your heart rate up a bit !!!

- Exercises too short (2-4mins) and you have se;ect another exercise everytime - I'm not sure if there is a function where you can select a workout such as do 4/5 yoga poses in one go without having to select them everytime.

+ ease of use, good selection of games

- Reviewer left no comment

+ its very good gets you moving and stops lazy it montors your weight and goals

+ fun for all the family,reminds you when you last used it

+ Keeps track of your weight and so no need to join any diet clubs! So saves a lot of money in the long run! Exercises are fun and so doesn't feel like exercising at all!

- Too long in between different exercises. When you have used it a few times, you don't need to be told how to do it again! It should recognise you have been on it a lot and ignore all the rubbish in between! You just wanna get on with it. If you do half an hour of exercise on it, it actually takes you about 3/4 hour to do that!

+ Everything!!!!! No More couch potato for me the the difference in my over all fitness is fantastic

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Gets you motivated

- batteries don't last very long

+ Good exercises, varied, challenging, multi player

- nothing

+ exercise at home

- none

+ As a mother of 2 small children this is a fantastic way of getting fit and losing weight. Since buying my BMI has gone down significantly and I have lost 6lb in weight. I already feel fitter and the children love watching. It's really fun!

- I honestly can't think of any, would recommend to all!

+ Tremendous fun for the whole family - the little ones love it and the grown ups are having a work out without going to the gym.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Training & fun at home

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Enables to exercise at home without the embarrassement in the gym and work out when you want

- Too easy to set up and use

+ Fun

- Only a few "games"

+ the WII Fit is just a fun product that involves all the family, it makes me chuckle to watch my 4 year old daughter come downstairs switch it on and try to beat her older brothers scores, it was worth the price for that alone :)

- None that I have found so far apart from its brutal honesty about my weight :)

+ By following various exercises, it is a big help in losing weight.

- None

+ fun keeps daily progress much cheaper than gym membership

- the little voice may become irritating after a while

+ fun way of exercising,
involves the whole family

- would be nice to do 2 player on some things.
you can put a secret code in, to lock your profile, but when you have to enter it to open your profile, the numbers come up on the screen, so anybody in the same room as you can see your numbers, not much of a secret code!!!

+ The board is sensitive and accurate.

- There are ways that you can cheat through the games. Advanced and other games open up a bit too easily without much of a challange.

+ Brialliantly put together and funny. Everyone who has a go really enjoys it. It's challenging and addictive. You always want to better your score. It's great when you unlock a new game. Watch out for the football boots when playing the football header one! All the little touches really make the games fun, even for the people who are just watching the 'exerciser'.

- When doing the body test, it can be very inaccurate when measuring and could give you a complex. My ten-year old nephew is already getting upset as it tells him he is obese, when in reality he's far from it. But as long as you don't pay too much attention to this part of it, the activities are really fun as well as encouragung physical activity.

+ Fun for all the family, though I believe adults will find more beneficial.

- Need to come back to the main screen to change character - not interactive between all the participants, apart from the Jogging.

+ great entertainment!!! lots of fun and you get a little bit of excerise done as well!!!

+ Makes you do more exercise, normally at least once a day.

- Could do with more levels, could do with being more interactive. Also hard on batteries.

+ different levels to unlock

- soon run out of new activities

+ Love the balance games, so much fun.

- The yoga isn't really my thing and some of the muscle exercises are quite difficult, even though I go to the gym.

+ IT IS SUITABLE FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY, NO MATTER HOW YOUNG OR OLD. IT IS GOOD FAMILY FUN.
