Wii Fit Review

[QUOTE="ILikeCatFoodMan"][QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

Yup, don't give a crap about Gamespot's review/opinion. I'll be getting it day one.

Oh, you can use the scores as ownage, I don't care, I do it. But when it comes to making a purchase, I never let those scores dictate my thoughts on purchasing a game. I own all those PS3 flops.

Likewise Imblomas, my post shows no disrespect whatsoever. If I did offend you in any way Bioshock, I sincerely apologize; however, I was merely stating proven points about health and fitness.Stevo_the_gamer

Why do some individuals think that Wii Fit is a workout device and that's it? Miyamoto has went on to say that it won't do any good, pretty much. Wii Fit has actual games included on the disk, ya know? Like those ski games we used to play as kids at the arcade. I like casual mini-games. I know many users here hate them, but I am part of the minority. It's not a workout device and it won't make you fit, but it will provide some enjoyment if you can open up to its casual nature.

really...? wow, I didn't think anyone was really excited for this, um, movment uh adventure gamey thingamabob... aren't you affraid someone will see you through the windows of your house using it? yes, that is a serious question...

Nope, don't care. I'm not insecure, so I don't feel the need to care about what others think. Come to think of it, Wii Fit will be a sales success and there will be many other "silly" people buying it. I'm not buying it as a workout device, but as a game, since it does have some mini-games I'm interested in.

you cannot be serious right? your buying a $90 minigame. wtf

Hey, I'm sorry I have money to buy things. Having a good job allows me to buy what I want and I do just that.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your job?

Well if you're talking about Gamespot then you're dead wrong.

I for instance am aware that there are games on Wiifit. I just don't know if I would get someone to drop the money needed for it :P . At the moment, I'm simply not interested enough, my interest may actually rise with the arrival of other games.

lol honestly, 7.0 is not good guys.DireToad

why...army of two got 6.5, and i liked that. people get way too tied up in scores here. oh, well SW i guess.

There are a lot of insecure kids in this thread. 7.0 is in fact, a good score. WiiFit can in fact, help you lose weight.

At least the sheep hyping this AA are gone now.Fireball2500

Not that I would care that much to begin with, but was the game hyped? Sure the game was most definitely hyped, but what I mean is, was there an official hype score?

Uh, what hype? :|

lol ... wiifit ... who ever buys this ... humber_matus

... are among the millions and millions of other people who are going to be buying it.

[QUOTE="DireToad"]lol honestly, 7.0 is not good guys.Haziqonfire

oh it's about what i expected from GS. though this made me laugh

" Board is sensitive, but you can still cheat at exercises."

that shouldn't matter. it would defeat the point of the game. like playing DDR with a keyboard or controller.

[QUOTE="DireToad"]lol honestly, 7.0 is not good guys.Haziqonfire

Lame. And I still don't see how this is a game. Kind of like reviewing a workout video. DeerhunterIA

I've never seen a workout video that moniters your balance and position in real-time, and gives you feedback.

I'm getting this game day one. Also, I'd like to point out once again that the average score is 8.1.

That's probably because it does get you fit. Being fit doesn't mean losing a bajillion pounds in an hour. This game gets you fit by improving flexibility, posture, and muscle-tone.

This is Wii-Fit, not Wii-Gym, or Wii-Cardiovascular-Workout.

There is more to being fit than just losing weight or becoming the Hulk.

You're right, you don't have to spend a hundred dollars. You have to spend thousands of dollars for a personal trainer that will be on call 24/7 to give you real-time tips about your posture as you're performing Yoga. Also, they would be knowledgable of other forms of exercise.

Personally, I think Wii-Fit sounds like a fun game, and the more I hear, the more I'm hyped.

My Wii-Fit bring all the boys in the yard.

Damn right, it's better than yours...

What a joke of a game. Ha. Game, interesting what a game can be these days.Stevo_the_gamer

Are you saying that DDR should not be called a game? Track and Field from when we are kids should not be called a game?

I don't think there's anything Wii Fit could tell me that I don't already know about fitness. Same about a trainer. And even if there was something I desperately needed to know, I could look it up on the internet for free.nyoroism

Yes, but the Internet can't tell you "You have to much weight on your right", or "Try putting more weight on the balls of your heels", or "Straighten your posture, your a bit to the left" in the middle of exercising. The fact is, Wii-Fit gives you an experience that cannot be obtained for the same price elsewhere.

It was reviewed by someone from Gamespot AU. Are there any other reviews written by the other Gamespot's like UK?

BTW Wii Fit isn't touting itself as the only way to get into shape. It should only be used as a stepping stone for more vigorous exercises. I want to see what other games can be made with the Balance Board. I'm looking forward to the new Raving Rabbids.

The WarioWare rumor sounds like a blast also using the Wiiboard.

I don't think you understand quite how imperceptable these things can be. I'm almost positive that when you stand perfectly still, you probably favour one leg over the other to put your weight on. Besides, how confidant are you of your posture and balance when your folded up like a pretzel. Besides, whenever I see exercise videos, there's always the voice in the back of my head saying "It shouldn't be this hard/easy, you're doing it wrong". This isn't as good as having a personal instructor, but it's better than a video, or nothing whatsoever.

Just go to the GYM!

:lol:

If Nintendo pulls it off just right that could be another AAA.

Look, the point is, exercise is exercise. There is no "wrong way" of exercising. As long as you're moving, you're exercising. Wii Fit is an exercise. A 100-dollar exercise. Walking is an exercise. A free exercise. Yoga, push-ups, jumping jacks, whatever you're doing in Wii Fit can be done for free by yourself. Sure having a record-keeper is fun, but is it worth 100 dollars? Not in my opinion, no.

That would be a blast. I love playing the mini games with friends and family. I also love to play DDR and almost no one is at my level I hang out with. So can't wait for a liter way to play and exercise a little at the same time.

Or even another Mario Party which uses the Wii board would be great.
