Looking at the best fitness games for Wii, is a reminder of the way in which the Wii has transformed game playing from a sitting on the couch experience, to a much more get-up-and-go experience. So what are the best Wii fit games for burning calories?
This is great, and I really like the Just Dance 2 feature. I find myself easily burning an hour on this game and being sore all day the next day. It may not have the most accurate scoring system in the world, but it certainly is a lot of fun to play. :)
So how is it a fitness game? 0.o
They must be making some special type of controller for it.
