Wii Fit takes the whole concept of games as exercise to a new level with the inclusion of a balance board peripheral that can tell you on the fly exactly how well--or how poorly--you're doing with its various activities. As such, Nintendo is heavily marketing this innovative title as a mixture of fitness and fun, and for the most part it works. It's a decent alternative for those bored with the repetitiveness of going to a gym or too self-conscious to join a yoga or aerobics class. Unfortunately, Wii Fit is hamstrung by some odd omissions (such as not being able to create your own program from the available exercises) and questionable health advice, limiting its effectiveness both as a fitness tool and as a game. At the core of the Wii Fit experience is the new balance board, an elegant-looking yet surprisingly sturdy peripheral which features several internal scales that can detect changes in weight and pressure as you're standing on it. The board--which is also quite hefty at roughly 8.8 lbs (4kgs)--interacts wirelessly with the Wii, and takes four AA batteries (which are included). The board has four rubber feet to help prevent it from slipping on smooth surfaces (and even comes with four extra feet that can be used to raise your balance board higher should you have thick carpet on your floors). Like the Wii Remote before it, the balance board is intuitive to use once you get into an exercise or game in Wii Fit, with its extreme sensitivity allowing it to pick up even the most minute shifts in weight. Its sensitivity only goes so far, however, with the board able to take only 330lbs (150kg) maximum weight, locking out the particularly robust from joining in on the Wii Fit fad. http://www.gamespot.com/wii/sports/wi...

I don't understand why everybody is angry about that you shall unlock some of the games. If you like the games then you will be exited and then play more.
i no like if u dont cheat i could deffs see u loosing wheight by burning fat. but then gaining it by making more mussle. but like the plank thats a realy good one it helps with the core and also burns fat in the stomach aria
ya the running u put the rmeote in ur pocket and you run on the spot. the remote measures the shaking so all you have to do is shake your hand and eat a choclate chip cookie to do well with the game, but it won't net any fitness results. what does piss me off about the game is no multiplayer and slow switching between games. Nintendo should quickly change that
