The editors didn't like
Its exercise. Balance Board feedback is sometimes vague. Weak multiplayer support.
Cant queue up exercises to form a routine
Insensitive to body-image issues
BMI doesnt measure fitness.
Foot plate area could be bigger
The balance board itself could be quite difficult to store
In short supply
You look like a loon when using it.
No way to create your own exercise program
Youre 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.
Too focused on weight and BMI as indicators of health
Gets terribly repetitive very quickly
No way to design a proper regimen
Minimal cardiovascular element
No multiplayer at all
Occasionally made us feel bad about ourselves
You cant set up a customized workout
Questionable fitness evaluation abilities
Only one board can be synced with a Wii at a time

Some tactless messages
The yoga instructor can be a little snarky
Lacks custom activitylist creation
Lacks twoplayer vs. mode

Wii Fit is a good exercise alternative for those who can’t afford or don’t want to go to the gym. The variety of fun activities make it well worth picking up if you can.

Cleverly disguises exercise behind videogame interface; Balance Board works well; balance games are fun.
