This one's gonna make you sweat.

Advantages: The 30 day challenge keeps you motivated and the exercises aren't boring!
Disadvantages: Doesn't keep a record of your weight and occasionally doesn't track your movements.

EA Sports Active Personal Trainer The Wii Fit has been a hugely popular game, coming with it's famous Wii Balance Board players were doing combinations of balancing exercises, yoga, muscle training and cardio workouts. However, whilst this sounded good, people who were looking for a strong workout may have been disappointed. Wii Fit is fun... but didn't have continous workouts which told you how many calories you may be burning. Then along ...
...to be able to play EA Active. It should be noted that you do need a Nunchuk to play this game, and most Wii owners will have one of these already. If you don't own one you need to purchase one. The game comes with a Leg Strap and a Resistance Band, both of which are used consistently throughout the various workouts. Set Up When you first use the game you need to set up your profile. You choose a male or female character and customise their ...

Review of EA Sports Active (Wii)

Hello, I'm 33 and a wii-fit- aholic :o)

Advantages: Fun, fitness, and laughter.
Disadvantages: Only one mii can be used at a time, so you can't compete against others turn by turn.

...annoying people that love the wii fit. I am the one that will stand in the corner of the pub and sings its praises to all who will listen (usually nobody, but I'll try anyway). So why do I like it so much? Let me explain... Firstly - I waited so long to be able to get one. I spent hours around Christmas time, painstakingly refreshing various websites that promised me that they would find me a wii fit in stock. They didn't. So I gave up for a while ...
...owner of my very own wii fit and balance board. 2 months ago, I was walking past my local Game store and there it was - the news that I had been waiting for - Wii fit in stock! I checked, and there wasn't a catch - you didn't have to buy anything extra, it wasn't being sold in a bundle with something I didn't need or want, it was just the wii fit with board to take away today. I handed over my £69.99 and grinned stupidly all the way home. I have ...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Feels Like You Have Just Finished The 5000m

Advantages: Longevity, good multiplayer mode
Disadvantages: Muscle strain, annoying award ceremonies

Overall it is a great game because of the huge variety of event on offer from the 100m to archery and trampolining. This helps the longevity together with the fact that in order to complete the game you have to win a gold medal with every character in each event as well as complete all of the missions. This takes an extremely long time because some of the missions are nearly impossible and can take hours to complete (some largely depend on luck). ...
...are waiting for the awards ceremony to finish at the end of each event. This cannot be easily skipped so you have to watch the same thing over and over again which gets very irritating very quickly. Also, the actions you have to do to play the game are very repetitive (only shaking the wii remote and then pressing a or b). However, what makes this game hard is the timing of pressing the correct buttons and accuracy with the wii remote (especially ...

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

A Fitness Coach In Your Living Room For £9.99

Advantages: Good gameplay, Good music, A good game overall
Disadvantages: Pain, lots of pain. But as they say, no pain, no gain

...of a different review from my last game one, as this one was actually way worth the money. Considering my age and lack of height, I am slightly steering into the overweight category, I still to this day partially blame it on an illness I had, because as soon as I got better my body seemed to find every piece of food I ate and distribute it somewhere on my body. I am not one for exercising though, I cycle weekly and walk just over a mile daily, however ...
...however, this did nothing for my weight loss as you controlled how much you did and there was not enough variety in each different section, it may be aimed at ‘losing weight’ but it never was able to do that for me. Then I heard about My Fitness Coach, I did have a Davina McCall exercise DVD, but after using it, I not only got quite bored but I could barely move for a week afterwards, so I decided to give this game ago. I had traded in a few games ...

Review of My Fitness Coach (Wii)

wii ski

Advantages: great family fun
Disadvantages: n/a

...it to date. Wii Family Ski is a game that up to five people can play and requires the Wii Fit to be able to play. It took me a while to find the Wii Fit or as it is also known the balance board but I kept on searching and got there in the end. Wii Family Ski lets you create a character from scratch or you can import your Mii character too whilst selecting different ski gear for your character. You need to use the Nunchuck and Remote in your hands ...
...body. In Family Ski, there are 14 different slopes to explore and each one with its own unique sights, sounds and skiing possibilities. With a selection of games from freestyle, ski school and races you have lots of choices. Overall, I'm impressed it is obviously not the same as skiing down a mountain, but it's as close as you're likely to get without leaving your living room. This is a great multiplayer game, the only downfall is that you cannot ...
