Game Revolution: Wii Fit Review

Game Revolution writes: "Rhythm games - especially Rock Band - have been a real space killer, but Nintendo's also been doing its level best to keep our entertainment areas crowded with as many pieces of white molded plastic as possible: Wii remotes, nunchucks, the zapper, the wheel, and now the balance board. Wii Fit is not just Nintendo's way of continuing to "expand the market," but it's also a vehicle for moving its latest peripheral into our homes.

Wii Fit is barely a game. It's a fitness tracker, an exercise regime, and a posture improvement program. The title includes three primary activity types: yoga, strength training, and aerobics, and each of the activity types is further divided into individual exercises. The very few actual "games" it includes aren't what will draw people to the title, and they're not compelling enough to keep folks around. Instead, Wii Fit will live and die by its fitness activities, and luckily, this is where Wii Fit shines… or maybe just glistens with sweat."

+ Excellent stats menus
+ Great individual exercises
+ Sure to get people off the couch
- …for a couple of weeks
- No way to combine exercises
- Underdeveloped aerobics routines
- Another over-ambitious, under-delivering Nintendo peripheral
