 Horrible, so disappointed. January 8, 2009
Binky (NYC, NY United States)
I was so excited about this game, I pre-ordered it. I haven't a chance to work with it until today. Oh God, this makes Wii Fitness look like genius. I gave this thing a half hour and I give up. It wins.
There are no instructions. You don't need them on a well-designed game. After poking randomly trying to get it to advance, I finally did some of the "training." The response is so ridiculously slow, you don't know if it's registering anything. Some of the exercises tell you to extend your hands and arms completely apart while holding the controller and nunchuk. Yeah,m aybe if you're under 4 feet tall. The cord's not long enough!
I gave up in total frustration with the grenade throwing exercise. I never got a single response out of the controller when attempting to throw the grenade. All the while, Jillian Michaels is telling me how wonderfully I'm doing.
What a shame. She should invest time in a decent game and give us all a free one for shelling out money for this piece of crap.
Very Bad! January 7, 2009
Christina (Seattle, WA)
I do not recommend this game at all; bought it on a whim and I agree with others. Graphics, versatility, and exercises are all very poor.
Wish I had read the reviews earlier January 6, 2009
Biggest loser wanna be (Seattle, WA)
Wow, serves me right! I should have read the reviews earlier and saved my money for something that would have actually helped (membership to WW, jump rope, etc...). I am not very experienced with using the Wii so though my difficulties in getting my self setup were do to inexperience, however my daughter was just a frustrated. You pretty much just guess your way through it. Then the actual workout, what a joke! I read and reread the directions for each excercise and still could not get many of the excercises to even show that I was doing anything. If they Wii fit game can do it why can't this one. I was so excited about this game coming out since I desperately need to do something to lose weight and I absolutely love Biggest loser. I am really upset Julian Michaels would even allow her name to be on such an awful game. Don't spend your money on this one!
buy My Fitness Coach instead January 6, 2009
Zap (Pennsylvania)
This game was on my partners Christmas List, she was looking forward to using it like the wii fit and was excited to see another fitness game come out that was compatible with the wii fit board. When she didn't get it, she treated herself to the game and immediately tried it the next morning for her fitness workout.
Within ten minutes I could hear her complaining so I came downstairs to see what was wrong. She stated that the controls were not responding to her movement and in between each training excersise you had to jog - FOREVER!
I gave it a try to see it I could figure out what she was doing wrong.
1. Since you shouldn't actually lift your feet and run in place on the wii fit board, the forever jogging in place starts to hurt your calf muscles (or maybe I am just really out of shape).
2. The tire excersise, you really need to put your weight to one side of the board and it still doesn't always respond.
3. The grenade throw, well it works fine by yourself, but we tried this out playing together and nothing responded.
Honestly, workout games are not my thing, but I actually really like the wii fit and do it regularly and I was also looking forward to this game because I thought maybe I could also get a fun workout. NOT WORTH THE $30!
The outcome - this game sucks. I wouldn't even give it one star but I had to give it something. If you want a good workout game, other than the wii fit game, my partner very highly recommends My Fitness Coach. It doesn't use the wii fit board, but gives you a good consistant workout.
 Exercise can be fun! January 6, 2009
