Are wii fit? No. - 4/10

Introduction

Yes it's been ages since I've done a review, and now I've resorted to writing reviews on my iPod, so please bare with me my computer I usually write up reviews died and we got a new computer but I can't use it for various reasons towards my apparent rebelous actions. Anywho I thought i'd review wii fit cause I'm bored and just recently played it at my cousin's place.

Gameplay

So after many random occurances of the wii fit add breaks and much boredness, I finally get to play wii fit. So I turn on the wii and take a step up to the wii's $149 hula-hoop. I choose my mii on my cousin's wii, only to notice they don't have a big selection nor can I be bothered to make a "mii of me" so Hitler is my best representation of myself, I think?

Getting measured is confusing, and the little in-game wii fit board helper is confusing and on the verge of being replaced by Mario and Spnic attempt olympics in "dangerous" fumes and gases (beijing). I'm apparently under wieght and I've made Hitler look like hes just run into macca's after soo many years of hiding and snitzel's in a can. I guess it's okay but it seems i've sorts screwed up the point of wii fit, it's a trainng game aimed to make you "loose wieght" and I'm under wieght? Soo.. How does this work? Well I'm told to set a goal by my annoying little nintendo helper of how much I would like to loose or gain. Well I set my goal to something like I want to put on some wieght, but how do I achieve this in a game of loose wieght and feel good? Honestly I loose anymore wieght and I'm classfied as a flag pole in golf.

Anyways enough crapping around and stupid infomation on the current situation on un-fit people in the world, god damn annoying tutorial. So I'm told to pick a trainer to help me in my adventure to gain wieght using wii fit, I pick the lady cause the guy looks as if he was nintendo's failure to represent a duke nukem like character or role model to sell the product.

I skip the bullcrap and end up playing skiing down hill or whatever it's called; so I line up pretty much miss everything just to find out I've had the wii fit board backwards this whole time... 2nd attempt and it's awesomely fun, for about 7 minutes according to my pig like personal computer.

Next game! And it's ski jump! It's friggen' awesome, perfect valence and maintaining wieght and you've got a 359m record. Boo-yah! 3 mins later; next!

Running, what a work out. So I'm told to put the wii remote down my pocket and to get off the wii fit board, wtf... Why isn't this on wii-sports if I don't need the board! Oh well let's get physical, so I'm Hitler on a daily jog in the town of mii's and I'm following a granny as my personal trainer and I'm running on the spot like a tottal idiot. So my cousin says: "go run around the house and I'll tell you if you need to speed up. So I do and end up scarrying other family members, honestly if I want to run why do I need to have a wii remote down my pocket? Cause that $198 will be at waste.

Sound

Retarded. Wierd voices and music that seems to be no difference to wii sports and really it doesn't matter for a game like this.

In conculsion

If you want to get fit I don't recommend this at all, espically for the hardcore gamers left in nintendo's cult of personality, but it's not all entirely bad but lacks in gameplay and re-play value. Fun family game and it's good to look like a fool just for fun. In theory it's a $149 hula-hoop and playing outside would be a better fitness excercise then standing inside on a glossy ikea furniture like board.

4/10? Its better than that... it sounds like you were looking for reasons to bag it before you even played it. And $198? Who pays that much? You can get it at most stores for under $140.

If you actually focused on the game, you would have realised that its not just a game for losing weight. For underweight people it recommends that you do muscle gaining exercises, which would help you put on weight. And it sounds like you didn't try that at all.

You pretty much based your whole review on the little mini games nintendo threw in just to make it a bit more fun, but not to be taken seriously as helping you get fit... I agree the running thing is pretty stupid, whats the point of running on the spot in your living room when you can just go outside? But thats just one gimmicky thing they threw in out of heaps of other good stuff.

Reading your review again, I have to question a few points you made:

- "Running, what a work out ... Why isn't this on wii-sports if I don't need the board!"
- "lacks in gameplay and re-play value"
- "Fun family game and it's good to look like a fool just for fun"

Do you actually understand what wii fit is all about? It isn't meant to be wii sports 2, and it isn't even meant to be a game as such. It's meant to be a way of exercising. There is no 'gameplay' in exercising. If you want a sporty game, put something else in your wii.

And whats all this 'replay value' you talk about? Oh of course, thats right, you only have to do an exercise once or twice to become fit or buff.

I don't need to play a "game" if you didn't realise Wii fit is a "game" enough to be able to like it and praise it with loving words. I speak the truth around here I like to be a critic because everyone looks at the good side and nothing on the bad enough to be in a detail "review" (as for my reviews are not what they seem to be, according to your standards) it lacks potential and the whole point of being a worthwhile game. If it isn't a game why is it on nintendo? And isn't a stupid gimmic from danoz direct?

Nice review Tails but I can't say I agree with it. I happen to like WiiFit (Yes I'm a Hardcore gamer) but I just felt like you were giving this a bad score and being super critical for the sake of going against the flow of others.

I respect your opinion and you are definitely entitled to it. I just don't agree with you on this one.

I think you were a little harsh. It's definately better than a 4, but your opinion is your opinion.

In regards to the review, I think you were too informal when it came to writing it, and you got the price wrong for the actual hardware. Otherwise, good job.

To quote Gaetano from the comments section of this www.mywii.com.au/ "Wii Fit is not a game".

You know why Wii Fit is on Wii and not Danoz Direct? Because Wii Fit makes lots of money, Nintendo is a business, and businesses like money... comprende?
