    For me the game is one of the best game ever made from Nintendo. I find, that the balance Board is a cool feature, that is good introduced in the game as well. But i think this game is not for all People on this Planet so nice as for me that's why its only an 8/10. Another think is, that the game is for a bit to short

    i LOVE THIS GAME! Its just a good way to lose weight in a fun way. and if you want to do real workouts you can. sure its inaccurate sometimes but this game came out 2007 so that does'nt matter. and the fact that there is a channel you can download is another cool part of the game. if you want to get this for your kid(s) go for it. they will enjoy it. and so will you.

    I'm probably not the right audience for this game anyway, but this really didn't feel like it added much to the fitness experience. It feels more like a cash grab than anything else.

    I'm not really into fitness games, but there's still a lot of fun to be had with this. There are 9 minigames that really come across as actual games, all of which involve testing your balance with the balance board. I'm talking about hula hoops and ski jumping and stuff.

I liked the DDR-style step aerobics sequence because I'm really into DDR.

    The game assumes you're playing to lose weight, and it doesn't really know what to tell you if you're underweight. The game can even come across as kind of mean. My mom isn't that fat, but the game kept calling her obese.    … Expand

    Pretty impressive for a game to make exercising fun and it actually makes me sweat more than i do at a gym so if you want to lose weight and have a Wii pick this game up.

    "Wii Fit" mixes fun and exercise into one, for a great time to spend losing calories. Guaranteed worth your money, as there are several mini games that are fun and enjoyable, while you are losing weight along with it.

    Kids that stay all day long playing video games should try having some fun and doing some exercise at the same time. My sixteen-year old son, who is overweight and never works out, is now having a great time with Wii Fit. And the activities that make him really move his body, like stepping and running , are his favorite ones. This may not be the â

    Wii Fit is an interesting game in the sense that it is trying to get people to work out and have fun at the same time. The Balance Board can let you do Yoga and push-ups, oh boy! Wii Fit works very well and seems useful at first but it does not measure weight correctly. Also, the game criticizes you if it thinks you are overweight by making your Mii look fat.

    At first I loved the wii fit and was addicted to certain games including the obstacle course...but then I got a stress fracture in my foot, so now I cant to any weight bearing exercises at all. I have been a long distance runner for over 20 years, and never had a stress fracture...but using the wii with not shoes...did me in.

    This really shouldn't be called a game. You can do everything on it outside in the actual world. The only thing that it's actually useful for is being a scale if you don't have one. Basically, the japan are saying, "ohohohoho, you're obesse! haha you fatty americans!"

    I've used Wii Fit every day for the last 16 weeks. I've used it for 3 hours a day for the last 8 weeks. I'm down 45 pounds ... only 60 pounds to go. I'm sure my results are atypical, but I'm documenting my "journey" on my blog, WiiFatMarathon.com

    No doubt this is fun and I enjoy doing all the different activities. However, it takes too long! You must have a good chunk of time to devote to "exercise" because a lot of time is spent watching your score being posted, seeing how many "credits" you earn, deciding whether you want to repeat the exercise or move on. So your "rest time" is probably longer than the actual workout time. ButNo doubt this is fun and I enjoy doing all the different activities. However, it takes too long!

But many of the challenges are pretty challenging and I have had sore muscles the next day trying to outdo my kids on certain activities. Or even to prove to the silly "trainer" that I can do a sit up, I just can't figure out how the Wii wants me to do it! So I wouldn't say it's for the already fit, I would say it's more for the person who is a couch potato or is just looking for something to do in addition to a regular workout routine and who doesn't belong to the gym.… Expand

    I absolutely love my Wii Fit since getting it in October. The reason I opted to purchase is I was looking at community yoga classes. For the price I could have paid for two 6-week sessions, I have a tool that has enhanced my life. I am active more and I watch what I eat. That makes it worth it retail price for me!

    The balance board works well and the daily body test will keep you coming back, however you'll be done with the minigames in a week and does not warrant the £70 price tag.

    It's amazing that this is even considered a game. For everything you can do here, you can do for free outside. And it's boring, meaningless, and stupid. Donating the money paid for this game to the poor is a better option.

It's still a game, but it can show us that doing some exercises can be fun, and that it's even more fun to do some exercises with your friends. Wii Fit is not a "home fitness equipment". If you are overweighted, then do not eat hamburgers. If you are looking for a new game that's fun to play with your friends, buy Wii Fit; it's really something we have never seen before.… Expand

    I love my Wii Fit. I finally got some unresolved medical issues corrected with proper meds. Illness left me week and very obese. After the meds began to take effect, I started to walk my country road 30 minutes a day and lost 15 pounds. Two weeks ago my husband bought Wii Fit. I have since lost 5 additional pounds.

He loves the traditional games and I love the fitness component. I continue to walk outside 30 minutes each morning and do aerobics on Wii Fit for 45 to 60 minutes per day. I thank everyone who had the courage to carry the wonderful idea of Wii Fit to fruition. Please know that I for one have no current desire to join a gym. The fact that you have taken the need for something like Wii Fit seriously, and found a niche for those of use who would and do take it seriously as well; leaves me with much appreciation for your kind efforts. Personally I am most appreciative of an accurate scale that tracks weight and BMI and has the 'make me sweat and lose weight' factor. Thank you, Nintendo. PS: It is now August, 2008 and I currently weigh in at 220 (down from 240 in April, 2008 and I am only 5' 2" tall). I feel that now I can attain my healthy BMI and have fun doing it! Oh, by the way I am 56 years old. I am very proud of the smiles on the faces of my husband and my doctor. Again, thank you!… Expand

You see it at the gym with the people with the treadmill set at speed "2", complaining that they're not losing weight. Wii Fit lets you get out exactly what you put in, while bringing in a novel and fun way to add exercise into your day, even the days you feel like you can barely drag yourself off the couch for. The exercises are simple, fun, and the presence of your friend's Miis make it feel more familliar. It's easy to be fooled by the simplicity of these exercises - done properly, they can provide an excellent workout. The core training provides an outlet to explore your own center of balance, flexibility, and core awareness that is inventive, creative - and enjoyable. You can easily combine aerobic exercises to make a longer "cardio" workout if you desire, especially after you unlock longer distances (which doesn't take long). Four days after getting my Fit, my body is pleasantly achy.. and I wouldn't consider myself among the ranks of the "unfit". I managed to string together a well-rounded workout without too much fuss - for those saying it takes too long between exercises, try to continue to run in place while selecting your next exercise. The biggest shortcoming is the inability to streamline through a longer workout (eg. have it "remember" your 10 selections) and the lack of multi-player function without having to exit your Mii to the plaza. I'm sure these things will come in the next version, and in the meantime, aren't that much of a big deal with a little creativity. All in all, the Fit provides a great and interesting way to work out for both experienced exercisers and "couch potatoes" alike ('cmon "buff" people - as IF your abs didn't hurt after your first round of Super Hula Hoop). People complaining about the price amaze me - isn't a regular game around $50-60? At less than double the cost, including the peripheral balance board, this game is excellent value, bound to get you off the couch, and if used properly, bound to make you more "Fit"!… Expand

    I am a mother of 2 little children. I can't get to a gym, I can't get out for a walk. But I can Wii fit, and my kids love to sit and watch. So we're all happy. I didn't think it possible to get fit by hula hooping, but I'm proof you can. It is awesome. People who don't like it must have had strangely high expectations.

    1. Hot girl trainer + Downward Facing Dog yoga pose = win 2. The hidden genius of Wii Fit lies in the feedback which it provides the user. As a veteran of martial arts and yoga, the balance information which it provides for each exercise is priceless.

    This is the best thing released on the Wii, thus far. It's the only thing on the Wii that is really actually worth its money. People giving this a score lower than 6 are honestly just fat lazy people. This will keep you in-tone and feeling great. Worthy buy!

    You need to know before paying out for (and therefore committing to) Wii Fit that it has to become part of your daily life for it to mean anything. And if you are willing to commit to it then Wii Fit is a loyal and multitalented trainer. [Feb 2008, p.136]
