Buy Nintendo Wii Fit Right Now Before It’s Gone.

I purchased the original Wii Fit when it was released. Right away I noticed how limited my options were with the original game. Wii Plus was well worth the $20. The new features (programming your routine) are great not to mention a wide variety of new poses and activities.

Love Love Love this game. I specifically like anything that gets my heart racing and is fun at the same time. I’m exercising without realizing it. I Love the obstacle course on this. I get so mad at myself when I make a stupid mistake (like not jumping in time) and having to start over. My only complaint would be that there aren’t more activities although I think it’s a great deal for 19.99 with what’s included. I don’t go near the yoga or the strength training. I feel like I can do that on my own if I want to. I got the WII fit for the fun of it. The obstacle course is my favorite and I many of the other games are running a close second.

“Wii Fit Plus” improves on the original Wii Fit, even though it suffers from a few setbacks in a slightly cumbersome menu system.

Some gamers have grown tired of “Wii Fit,” because the basic balance and aerobics games didn’t challenge players enough. Thankfully, the upgrade provides 15 new games and a nifty “My Wii Fit Plus” feature.

This new menu gives players the opportunity to choose specific combinations of exercises to relax people or to tone their bodies. Probably the most useful ones are those in the “Form” section to tone your muscles and the “Health” section to shave off those extra calories.

There’s plenty of fun games too. “Snowball Fight” plays like a Time Crisis shooter, but with snowballs. With all this technology, you may wonder why Namco hasn’t produced a Time Crisis game with the Wii balance board by now.

Other fun games include “Rhythm Parade,” a tricky marching game which requires people to wave their nunchuck and remote in time to the Beatmania-style diagram on screen. Players also have to step in time to the rhythm, making this a challenging exercise.

“Perfect 10 Plus” is the most difficult of the games, forcing players to bump their hips in the proper directions to add the numbers up to 10. The game considers this as a mental coordination exercise, but the concept might turn out too tricky for some players.

All the games are welcome additions, except for the clunky flying chicken one.

Last, but not least, are the new Yoga poses and strength-building workouts. These are actually some of the more useful, advanced programs which take advantage of the balance board to sense the proper balance of the person’s body. For instance, the spine extension Yoga poses stretches out the backbone, while also sensing whether there is 60 percent weight on your front leg when you are bending forward.

Plus isn’t without snags though. The game interface doesn’t record the player’s high scores when they perform combination workouts in “My Wii Fit Plus.”

Also, some of the new “Training Plus” games require very little use of a person’s body. No one will get a full workout with “Snowball Fight,” which only requires people to aim their remotes and lean left and right on the board.

However, these are only minor complains. “Wii Fit Plus” is a worthy purchase for anyone who wants to use the complete capabilities of the balance board. The $20 game adds enough features to please fans of the original “Wii Fit” and newcomers to the physical fitness genre of gaming.
