Wii Fit Plus a big improvement

Advantages: Good value for money, increased workout choices
Disadvantages: Limited target settings

After using the original Wii Fit game for about a year, I found the Wii Fit Plus to be a big improvement, and good value at only £20. It automatically transfers all your saved data from the Wii Fit so you don't have to start over. I found the major improvement to be the facility to program a workout, rather than just being able to do individual exercises as before - it means a much better workout overall as you don't have to keep stopping and selecting ...
...limited selection on the original Wii Fit. The calories/target section is a bit of a let down, you can set a target for calories to burn each day but these are somewhat limited and use examples like a glass of milk, or a slice of bread, rather than allowing you to set your own number. Overall I think this is a good buy for the money. ...

Review of Wii Fit Plus (Wii)

mario and sonic at the olympic games is a great night in!

Advantages: lots of events to choose from.good for kids and adults.
Disadvantages: you do need a certain degree of fitness

I bought this game with a wii for my son last xmas and i personally think i couldnt have made a worse choice of game to get everyone together.we all played it with the kids,its simplicity to understand meant they could set it up for us(they were 6 and under!).Then when they went to bed it kept us adults entertained well into the evening.There are lots of different events you can participate in from 100m dash to archery,however you do need a standard ...

Review of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

I used to hate going to the gym but Wii Fit has transformed Mii

Advantages: Helps improve posture and fitness in a fun way
Disadvantages: You may get bored of the activities after a while and not great if you are already very fit

Ever since the Wii Fit came out I was determined to get one. I have gym membership but I work long hours and often don't have the energy after work to trek up to the gym, do a work out and still have to make it home afterwards. If truth be told, I also don't have the self motivation to go to the gym regularly. I thought the Wii Fit would give me a way of getting fit without feeling like I was actually working out. When I finally got my Wii Fit ...
...Wii Fit consists of a disc and Wii balance board which you synchronise with your Wii. This is very simple and only takes a minute or 2 to follow the simple instructions and sync the board. When you have inserted the disc and synchronised the board, you go to the main menu where you choose a Mii, which is your on screen persona. You choose from a selection on screen and give yourself a name. You then go through the basic body test which will tell ...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

This Winter Wii Are Going To Vancouver

Advantages: Some great events and a chance to dress your Mii up for winter.
Disadvantages: This game will hold your attention, but for how long is a different matter.

With the Winter Olympics fast approaching it’s time for the old rival companies Nintendo and Sega to reunite for their third game outing together to feature characters from the two respective gaming series’ in the form of Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics. The game is the first in the range of various games that are being released to coincide with the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver and will be exclusive to the Wii and Nintendo ...
...Sony and Microsoft get their grubby little hands on their prize characters now are they. For those of you who did not have the pleasure of playing the Summer Olympics game that Nintendo released for the Beijing games this game works in a very similar fashion with you taking control of your chosen character/athlete and competing in various Olympic events in order to obtain as many gold medals as you can. As with the original game there are ...

Review of Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games (Wii)

Good Ol' Super Mario Bros.

Advantages: Great 4-way multiplayer quality, for a platformer
Disadvantages: A lot of recycled or uninspired material

...be generally bypassed using the new Propeller Mushroom, which is by far the easiest to control flying-related power-up in the series thus far. In addition, there's even an auto-play Super Guide mode that appears after failing the same level eight times, that has Luigi taking over the controls for you. I suppose this is very helpful for youngsters that don't have gamers for guardians, but it can also serve as the ultimate burn, having ...
...to the series' comic relief. Actually getting the Toad to the Goal rewards you with an extra Toad House, accessible once and rewarding you with extra lives and power-ups, then disappearing until you save another Toad, ad infinitum. Your stock of power-ups can be consumed on the World Map, allowing you to go inside particular stages appropriately prepared; it can be very useful in making matters much easier, so some Toad Houses make you work ...
