Advantages: Works with the Wii Balance Board and includes diet menus Disadvantages: The Wii Balance Board doesn't always give accurate scoring
I bought my Wii Fit when it first came on to the market but after a while using it becomes quite frustrating and tedious so I have advanced to other programmes using the Wii in order to improve my fitness. When I saw that FitnessFirst were brining out a Wii Fitness programme I just had to give it a try.
I placed and advance order with Amazon for the game and now I am pleased to say it has arrived.
Out of the Box
I have never really been known for my patience so it wasn't too long after the postman had delivered it before I had opened the case and put the disc into the console. I was very pleased to see that it was simplicity itself to get started (no need to read the instructions at this stage!). I had to enter my name and basic details to set up my profile and it used the Wii Balance Board to check my weight. I ...
Advantages: great for weightloss, fun for all the family, improves posture, balance and health Disadvantages: expensive, can only register up to 8 family members
flying towards you but you need to avoid the pandas and the football boots because they smack you in the head and lose you points! - This one is massively popular with my youngest brother who loves to show of his skills!!
Then there is a tightrope walking game and a ski jump game where you have to squat down on the board and at the right moment straighten up quickly to get a good jump score.

Advantages: Fun for the family Disadvantages: None
The first thing I noticed, when I opened the box, was the great hardware build quality. To me, the balance board has always looked very fragile in promotional pictures. I've seen people waving it around willy nilly so I thought it would just be lightweight plastic tat. It's actually a really sturdy, well made piece of equipment. You connect it to the Wii like a wiimote and the software also installs a special Wii Fit channel on the main menu.
So, onto the Wii Fit software. As with Nintendo's other games, your profile is saved under your Mii. It's just like Brain Training with a daily test, complete with a slightly abstract body age which seems completely based on your ability to shift your weight around. During the test your Mii's physique is adjusted to match your BMI. This was hilarious as my little guy was inflated to become a fat ...
