bumber by Gina Boyd 1 Stars

I have to agree with most everyone. This game sucks. It's frustrating just like everyone says. I wish I had read these reviews before purchasing this. Now I'm stuck with a game I'll never use. Read all the reviews, they are all spot on about all the bad things about this game. There isn't anything I can say is good about it except for the cover.

Your not yelling at me! by Nina Omailia (Walla Walla, Wa) 1 Stars

I have had this game for 10 months and have only played it 3 or 4 times. The level of sweat that comes off my body is minimal, the exercises are boring and Jillian isn't yelling at me like I wanted. I'm going to try and re-sell it at Hastings. Big disappointment!

Don't waste your money by M. Weiss (grand rapids) 1 Stars

I should have read the reviews before I bought this. I had high hopes since I love Jillian Michaels' Work out DVD's, but I found many of the exercises hard to figure out, resulting in less of a workout than it should have been and leaving me very frustrated. Save your money and buy her DVD instead.

Don't waste your time or money! by E. Tyler 1 Stars

The graphics looked like they were from the 80's and the game was awful. The avator would move when I wasn't doing anything and stay still when I was doing activities. This should never have been released. If I could give it 0 stars, I would!
