Users will also be able to choose from specialized workout routines that focus on all-around individual personal fitness goals or certain target areas. And with the addition of activities like Skateboarding and Rhythm Kung Fu, players will be using the Wii Balance Board accessory in a variety of new and fun ways. Gameplay As with the original Wii Fit release, Wii Fit Plus is designed, as its name implies, to improve the user's fitness. The game contains a large number of activities that fall into a variety of categories, including: yoga, aerobics, strength training and balance games. With all but a few exceptions, which utilize variations on a standard Wii Remote configuration, all activities utilize the Wii Balance Board (included with this bundle), either alone or configured with either a Wii Remote alone or the Wii Remote and nunchuck. The Balance Board, like any other Wii controller acts as a motion/pressure sensing device wirelessly synched to your Wii and replicating your body's movements. Each controller employed occupies one of the Wii's four wireless inputs, together mapping the reference points needed to recreate most full body motions on screen. Although this limits the majority of the activities to a single player orientation, various activities throughout the game support up to eight players in alternating play. To use Wii Fit Plus players import their Miis from their Wii system, set up profiles, establish a current physical baseline, set fitness goals, and embark on a routine to reach them. Wii Fit Plus tracks your usage, weight and progress towards your goal over time, giving you a status report as you start each session. At any time players can choose whatever activity they want, whether exercise or balance game, and as they progress in these they will level up in each, gaining points, setting high scores and unlocking more activities. Personalization Option Via 'The Locker Room' The original Wii Fit was designed to have something for everyone. Now Wii Fit Plus raises the bar by providing users with personalization options that allow them to find/create a specific workout routine that is exactly right for them, their family and their lifestyle. One example of this is "The Locker Room." Easily accessible throughout the game, here players can choose from a number customizable options that allow them to maximize their time with Wii Fit Plus without having to navigate through the game menu while in the middle of a workout. In essence this allows players to become their own personal trainer. Customization options available within The Locker Room include: preprogrammed and timed Wii Fit Plus Routines; My Routine, where you choose your own set of activities, optimizing their length and area of the body to be focused on; and Favorites, a notation of activities you frequent, which provides fast access to exercises you enjoy doing the most. Addition Yoga and Strength Exercises Designed as an addition to the already substantial list of focused, physical exercises available in Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus contains six new and challenging strength and yoga activities. But continuing with the game's commitment to personalization, the key to these additions is not in their volume, but in how the player chooses to mix and match them. Do them in the order they are presented, or combine them in whatever order you want. The choice is yours. The player even has the ability to repeat the ones that he/she prefers, maximizing attention and effort where it is needed most. In addition, for those to whom time is a commodity, you can now omit unnecessary interludes between exercises, making for a continuous, timesaving routine. A Wealth of New Balance Games Regardless of the considerable fitness factor packed into Wii Fit Plus, the Nintendo brand is and will always be all about having fun. With that in mind Wii Fit Plus also comes packed with 15 new, entertaining balance games suitable for every member of the family. Just a few of those that players can expect to see are: Juggling; Skateboarding; Snowball Fight; Obstacle Course, a log-leaping, cannonball-evading event reminiscent of what Nintendo icon Mario must go through; and Perfect 10, a balance game designed to promote a combination of physical and mental health. In this final example the player's Mii is situated between multiple color-coated balls, each showing specific numbers, with the goal to swing your hips, hula style, in different directions to tap out a total of ten as many times as possible before time runs out. Key Game Features The Wii Fit Plus Bundle includes the game software and the Wii Balance Board. Users can input the amount of time they want to spend on their workouts or select an area for personal improvement, and Wii Fit Plus will suggest a number of diverse activities for them. For the first time, users can mix and match which strength and yoga activities they prefer on a given day. The seamless exercise flows make it easier than ever for users to maintain their daily workout routines. Users might be asked to run an obstacle course across a series of platforms, zoom across a beach on a Segway x2 Personal Transporter or flap their arms to help their hilarious chicken-suited characters aim for targets. The range of games and customization options will make players want to play every day. They’ll be having so much fun that their workouts will seem to fly by in no time at all. Players also can see estimates of calories burned and can even activate a feature that lets them weigh their dogs or cats.

a good investment! by L. Brooks (Upstate NY)

I bought this as a way to supplement my family's exercise during the bad northeast winter months. I wasn't sure what to expect but the price was low enough that I thought it would be worth the risk. It is way better than I expected. We all use it, quite regularly, even my husband. I look more for activities that burn calories rather than just entertainment, but there is definitely enough of an assortment so that anyone can play and find something that interests them. And each activity has a different level that can be unlocked once you master the basic one, so that adds to the value. While I still think outdoor exercise is best, this does make a nice alternative when it's too nasty or cold (or deer season has begun and you just don't feel comfortable with shots flying all over the place!)

This is a great idea from Wii! I just got my Wii last week, and haven't used all the WiiFit options yet. I am, however, very excited and pleasantly surprised by what I've seen so far! Anything to motivate extra movement in my busy schedule is great in my book. I would definitely recommend buying it, and especially from Amazon.com, the shipping took only 2 days, and the price is right!!

fun mini-games but game dishes out a "tough love" message that some may not want to hear by Shannon B Davis (Arlington, MA United States)

My opinion on Wii Fit is pretty divided. I like it enough to play it again, but I found certain aspects of the game annoying. First, what I liked. The balance games are lots of fun. I consider myself to have excellent balance - and indeed - I score very high on a single leg balance, but these games are really challenging. It's an interesting idea to play the equivalent of a marble balance game, only you are the marble - or in some cases - the board. I am also a yoga enthusiast, and I did feel that the yoga segments led me to have better form through the awareness of my balance. The hula hoop game was far more fun than real hula hoop, where I spend most of my time picking up the hoop again. Overall, the minigames that make up the workouts are a lot of fun. Some of the strength workouts were very challenging, such as the pushup and side plank. I definitely can see how this game is appropriate for older adults, as I've heard it recommended for them. There is a focus on safety, and the activities start out very easy. The workouts are not very long, and they might just be at the right level for a person in their sixties who wants to improve their fitness. For someone that works out all the time, these workouts are not that challenging. I did not sweat, for example, as I do with EA Active from time to time. I also found my heart stopped pumping as fast when an activity would end and I'd have to pick the next one. The game is cute. You get your own little avatar, and the workouts take place in cute locations, so "Nintendo", if you know what I mean. They have that trademark cuteness. For example, the running activity actually takes you on a jog outside. The silliness one yet - but one of my faves - is the rhythm kung fu fighting! Honestly I see the strength of this title is in its fun mini-games, if you see them as physical games rather than a "workout". If that's what you're looking for, you're going to love it. It's a great way to get the whole family involved in an active activity, one that you can do inside on a rainy day. After all, anything you do standing up burns more calories than sitting down, which is why I have always used my Wii standing up since I bought it. What I didn't like: The game starts out with a big wake-up call, but not all users necessarily need to hear it. I had my first child three months ago and I'm still carrying some baby weight since I'm nursing. I feel pretty fit and work out a lot. So, having the game tell me "dah dah dah dah - You're Overweight!" was a message I was quite familiar with but not looking to have it rubbed in. In fact, EVERY TIME I PLAY, it tests my weight and informs me that I'm still overweight. Promptly thereafter, it plumped out my avatar to represent how "chubby" I supposedly am. Next, I was presented with a balance game that I had never seen before. I didn't quite understand it, so next I hear that my Wii Age is "51", two decades older than I actually am. Then the game suggested that I lower my BMI to 22, when I have always been happy at around 23 and am aiming to get back there. 24 and lower is considered healthy, and that's not even considering that BMI is irrelevant to athletes. So, I'm not a big fan of the negative reinforcement. Overall, the plucky little Wii board character that gives you tips and tricks comes across, to me, as condescending. I know more than most people about eating healthy and being in shape - almost 15 years ago now I lost 40 lbs all through diet and exercise. There ought to be a way to turn off the banter, for those of us who just either want to a) have fun with a game or b) work out. Ironically, it's not much of a workout so the Wii Fit itself won't be contributing much to my bottom line so to speak. As I said, EA Active and some other exercise videos and fitness activities will do more for that.

I just purchase by Wii and this is the first game I purchased. I love it so much I'm up to using it 30 minutes a day. Not bad for an obese 68 female.

Gets us off the couch! by Deb (Florida)

The new Wii Fit Plus has a lot more activities than the original and it provides lots of fun for folks with varying abilities and interests. We don't have kids and we are not spring chickens. The only thing that irritates me is when you don't complete an activity in the allotted time (like the Table Tilts) it ends and you have to start all over again from the beginning. It doesn't allow you to repeat or practice the level you failed and, although it provides exercise because you have to start all over again, it gets boring if you can't fairly quickly master the troublesome level. Why do they have limited times anyway? Who cares how long it takes?
