The wheels on the Wii go round and round

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: see review

...This is a funny old product because, of course, it's not really much more than a circular piece of plastic, yet it feels so good! The Wii Wheel is a driving wheel for use with Wii games that, erm, require you to drive. The way it works is you insert the Wii remote into it (it fits very snug), and then use the whole thing to drive. The Wii remote is not included in the purchase. There is a 'B' button on the back of the wheel, operatable with your left pointy finger. The wheel cost me £6.99 on sopto.net and is the same price in Game stores around the country. Although the price seems very reasonable, it should be pointed out that standard Wii remotes are not at all practical for driving games, and really it's an additional cost that you pretty much HAVE to spend to be able to play racing games and the like, so it would have been...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Wheel - wheel

  Wii Fit

Advantages: great for weightloss, fun for all the family, improves posture, balance and health
Disadvantages: expensive, can only register up to 8 family members

...Our Wii Fit was brought as a birthday present for my 9 year old brother, although to be honest it was probably more of a gift to us!! What is a 'Wii Fit'? Before explaining what a Wii Fit is, I will explain the equipment you will need for it. The Wii Fit works on a Nintendo Wii - the Wii is a games console, which uses a handheld remote for interactive play (simulating tennis etc). In addition to the games console you will need a Wii Fit balance board. This can be used with other games such as skiing etc but will initially be purchased with the Wii Fit software. The Wii fit balance board is a rectangular board, which the user stands on, and it links up wirelessly to the Wii and is used to improve health through balance games, muscle and yoga poses and aerobic exercise games. The Wii fit balance board measures and monitors...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: The Balance Board technology is outstanding
Disadvantages: It can be quite expensive

...Intro Wii Fit is something quite difficult to review. But people think that playing things like Wii Fit, is doing them good. Like take Brain Training, it would make you smarter, or something like Guitar Hero would make them feel like rockstars. But does Wii Fit actually make you fit? I think yes. It does make you fit. It does actually work! Like balancing on the Balance Board improves your posture and balance. Muscle exercises grows and tightens your muscles. Aerobics games make you lose weight. Which in fact it does. But personally, I went jogging for 20 minutes and it said I GAINED one pound. Which must be a glitch, if you ask me. And today, Wii Fit costs £69.99 ($89.99) which may be a little on the pricey side. But amusing if you can afford it, it is so much worth to buy and helps you stay much in great shape. It's so very worth...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: Easy way to keep fit.
Disadvantages: Can't think of any.

...Last Christmas, my mum (a.k.a. "Santa") got the family a Wii Fit - hinting at my sister and I that we need to keep fit. I'm going to admit, I'm a bit fat. Now, I'm not one of those people you see in documentaries who can't get out of bed because they're huge but I could stand to lose a stone or two. I used to go to the gym twice a week but I found it too difficult and it was straining keeping up with my trainer, and I felt embarassed whenever I told him I couldn't do something. I did lose about half a stone though so I was happy about that. When I started using the Wii fit I was a bit anxious about trying it out because it had been a while since I'd been to the gym and I wasn't too keen to let my family see how unfit I was! However, I've been using it on-and-off since Christmas and it's great! It's been about a month since I last used it...

Wii Fit

Advantages: Healthy, Loses weight, Fun
Disadvantages: None

...Nintendo Wii Fit (Wii Fit) I got Wii fit on Christmas day 2008 and ever since I have not got off it. I am a really big gamer and when I bought the Wii i thought it wasn't going to be good and it wasn't that good as the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3, but when I got Wii Fit for it I have been playing it one hour a day every day. I do all kinds of exercises on it. Including Jogging, Push up's, Step aerobics and many more. It really is a good way of excerising because it is fun and you don't even know that you are excerising! Whats in the box... In the Wii Fit box there is not too much, there is a Wii fit balance board, Wii fit Wii game, Four AA Batteries and Manuals. What games is there on the Wii Fit game... There is all sorts of games on the Wii Fit, there is boxing, jogging, Push ups, side ups, step aerobics and many more...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

The Wii!

Advantages: New way of gaming, attracts new gamers, sleek design
Disadvantages: Graphics

...Hey there! I'm going to be reviewing the Nintendo Wii as it's one of my favourites systems at the moment. Now, the Nintendo Wii is very cheap for a great console ($250/£180) compaired to the other consoles like the PS3 and the Xbox, but I won't be getting into much detail about that. I received my Nintendo Wii about a week after Christmas being in the right place at the right time, anyway, I shall crack on to the review. =P It's obvious that Nintendo have carried on the sleek look to the Nintendo Wii from the DS lite which is good. The Nintendo Wii is small, eye catching and very beautiful to look at! It was much smaller than I thought it would be, it's also very light! As most of you know, the Nintendo Wii console sits in the grey stand which adds contrast to the design. There is a blue light that surrounds the disc...

Review of Nintendo Wii

wii fit

Advantages: weight loss or weight gain depending on what you choose to do. very fun games!
Disadvantages: its not entirely accurate, can strain yourself if you over do it.

...The Wii fits main aim was to motivate families to get up and exercise together, making it more enjoyable for children and adults. It was also to be seen as an insentive to exercise and stay healthy and help keep a steady BMI (body mass index). Wii fit is an amazing game in which you as a user can stand on the Wii balance board and interact with the game. The balance board is like a set of scales it can determin your weight and which is your most dominant foot. But its not just a set of scales it senses every movement you make so that the Wii can then calculate your Wii fit age and keep you interacted in whatever game you are playing. The Wii fit game comes with many games to play. You start of with a few activites to do but the more you progress on with game the more you unlock ,making exercise much more harder and making it a fun...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: Helps you lose weight, tracks your progress
Disadvantages: You need quite a bit of space for the balance board

...As someone who has a bad back, and could also stand to lose a few pounds in weight, I finally gave in and bought the wii fit. Basically, all it consists of is a balance board and CD with the Wii Fit activities on it. Like the Nintendo Wii controllers it is completely wireless which is great for storage, when you finish you can just slot it under your bed or in a cupboard. To start off you create a character for yourself in the Wii Fit Plaza, which is based off your Mii. The main idea is to have a daily body test which charts your weight, bmi, wii fit age etc and then go on to do some training in the form of either balance, aerobic, muscle exercise or yoga. This is kind of embarrassing, especially for me when my mii suddenly got a lot fatter! After completing the body test you are given a wii fit age, which you aim to reduce by...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Wheel....Is it actually worth it?

Advantages: Make the controller look like a wheel, Maybe helps with steering, Quite cheap
Disadvantages: Sometimes hard to reach the back trigger, Made of cheap plastic, Not needed for game

...I bought one Wii Wheel from Game in my local town to play with Mario Kart for the Wii a few months ago now and I am still slightly doubting my purchase... -----------------------------------------THE FEEL---------------------------------------------- Admittedly it does feel quite ergonomic on the hand when you are using it and the Wii remote does seem to elegantly slip into the plastic casing that makes up the Wii Wheel. For my personal use, I find that the trigger at the back of the wheel for the B button is sometimes hard to reach with my finger when I hole the wheel so usually end up removing the remote from the Wii Wheel and just use the controller on its own. I think that the Wii Wheel should be made of softer and more tactile material as it is clearly made with very cheap, hard plastic which although does the job for the price...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Wheel - wheel

Wii is getting fitter!

Advantages: Helps with fitness, fun to do
Disadvantages: You have to make the effort

...In April this year my lovely husband was 40 and before his birthday I had been saving all my Internet earnings from Ciao, Dooyoo and various cashback sites so that I could buy him something really special. Amongst other things I decided to buy a Wii and WiiFit as we had considered buying them at Christmas but had decided that we couldn?t justify the expense at the time. I paid £249.99 to buy the Wii and WiiFit together as a package from Play and of course I went through Quidco and got £10 cashback too so I was well pleased with that. Dave was thrilled with the present and soon got the Wii set up so we could try out the Wii Sport games that came with it; more about those in another review. So what about the WiiFit? Well the first thing to know, if you didn?t already, is that this game comes with something called a balance...
