Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok, so I was hesitant about spending $60 on a workout game when I already owned three of them - all exclusively for the Wii. After my first 50 minute workout though I can truthfully say that this trumps all of them. It is like Gold's Gym, the Wii Fit, and My Fitness Coach all rolled into one. After my workout, which included everything from boxing to dancing to running to shooting hoops, I was sweating profusely and feeling great! What I liked: - Like the Wii Fit, it incorporates the Balance Board. - I get to pick my exercises - unlike on the My Fitness Coach - The graphics were good, the track, courts, etc. actually made me feel a little like I was actually there. - The running was everything the Wii Fit running was not. It counted my calories and seemed a little more responsive that the Fit. - I appreciated the feedback I received when doing the stretching exercises... This I missed in the My Fitness Coach- there was no sensor to tell me if I was squatting to high, not jumping in the right rhythm, etc. With EA SA the control that was strapped to my thigh was able to tell the game when I was not doing something right - giving me the opportunity to correct my form. - I also like the fact that you can work out with a friend. Cons: The resistant band is weak - for me anyway but that can be easily corrected with a inexpensive trip to Wal-mart. I discovered that I may also be buying a wireless nunchuck... the wire was constantly in my way. It doesn't track my weight loss. It's not really a con but I wish there were step aerobics. It could have easily been worked in. Overall impression: I'm glad I broke down and paid the $$$ for this game. It far surpasses My Fitness Coach, the Wii Fit, and Gold's Gym (though I will probably continue to use Gold's Gym for the boxing routines and the wii fit to track my weight loss). It's hard core, but I feel it will definitely give me my desired results.
