More Nintendo reviews , RRP: AU$149.95

The good:

  • Balance board is a great new peripheral
  • Exercises will help your balance and strength
  • Beats the repetitiveness of going to the gym
  • Some fun balance board games
  • Pleasant presentation throughout

The bad:

  • No way to create your own exercise program
  • You're forced to unlock most of the activities
  • Some games are rather shallow
  • Health and fitness assessments can be problematic
  • Board is sensitive, but you can still cheat at exercises

The bottomline:

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