Wii Fit (Wii) review

Wii Fit will help you work up a sweat, but it's not as smooth and fun a workout as you'd probably like.

Unfortunately, Wii Fit is hamstrung by some odd omissions (such as not being able to create your own program from the available exercises) and questionable health advice, limiting its effectiveness both as a fitness tool and as a game. Like the...

Nintendo Wii Fit

By Mike Kobrin

Exercise-oriented video games aren't new, but Wii Fit is certainly the most technically advanced one yet. Fun games like snowboarding, Hula Hoop, and tightrope keep it from being tedious....

Improves sense of balance ; good mix of fun and exercise ; easy setup

Questionable fitness evaluation abilities ; only one board can be synced with a Wii at a time

Review: Nintendo Wii Fit

Intuitive and downright cute in its presentation, the Wii Fit makes working out in front of your TV a genuinely interactive and fun experience.

Other games support Wii Balance Board ; Intuitive, fun to use

Lacks custom activity-list creation ; Lacks two-player vs. mode

Nintendo's $90 Wii Fit--a home workout program disguised as a video game--hit retailers across the country two days after its May 19 soft launch at the New York City Nintendo World Store, where a limited supply reportedly sold out in just a few...

Wii Fit

By Jennifer Tsao

Thin is in. Our review of Nintendo's Wii workout title.

It's exercise. Fun mini games. Strong Mii integration.

It's exercise. Balance Board feedback is sometimes vague. Weak multiplayer support.

Gamers looking for an excuse to get off the couch will find plenty here to love, in the form of truly entertaining mini games like skiing, snowboarding, and dancing. Serious fitness freaks, however, may not be impressed with the Wii Fit's gentle ...

But I persevered, and eventually I improved at the minigames, felt physically challenged on some exercises, and generally felt better after racking up 15 or 30 minutes a day of Wii fitness. But measuring success is one of Wii Fit's shortcomings....

By Nick Haywood

Review: Wii Fit

By Matthew Humphries

I think it's fair to say that the Nintendo Wii is a peripheral-heavy console. As well as the innovative motion controls it ships with you also have a clip-on gun holder for Link's Crossbow Training, a steering wheel for Mario Kart Wii and a whole host ...

Wii Fit Review By a Formerly Fit Geek

By Brian Lam

I used to be very proud of my legs. I have slight knees and ankles. But the muscles around the bones were very strong. And in my early 20s, as a full-time martial artist, I could kick very hard. My nose bled like a faucet, but I will say I could hold ...

Award: Hot Product!

Can this shake the lazy video game image?

Interactive, great fun, pick up and play
