Advantages: Helps improve posture and fitness in a fun way Disadvantages: You may get bored of the activities after a while and not great if you are already very fit
Ever since the Wii Fit came out I was determined to get one. I have gym membership but I work long hours and often don't have the energy after work to trek up to the gym, do a work out and still have to make it home afterwards. If truth be told, I also don't have the self motivation to go to the gym regularly.

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

Advantages: The Balance Board technology is outstanding Disadvantages: It can be quite expensive
know that makes playing Wii Fit more fun and enjoyable, but really. It would take you hours of play to unlock some games on there. I would at least like it to already be unlocked so we can try it out...
Did I mention there will be a Wii Fit Plus some time next year? Or this year maybe? Maybe Wii Fit can learn from its old mistakes and may Wii Fit Plus be even BETTER than its predecessor. I can't wait for Wii Fit Plus as much as you do.
Advantages
+ Great variety of games!
+ Beats going to the gym.
+ Actually does make you fit.
+ Outstanding technology.
Disatvantages
- It is quite expensive.
- Bored is quite too sensitive.
- You have to unlock more games.
RATING: ***** ...
