Wii Fit is a complete atrocity! It has NOT aged well!

Wii Fit has not aged with the times, retaining shabby 480p graphics, plus it is not accurate with the "body tests". It said I am overweight and will die young even though my actual doctor told me I'm in good shape. Plus, if you fail a game, it will call you names like, "fatso," or "calorie burner". Do not buy, even if it becomes a collector's item. It's definitely not worth it!!!

Toxic

I’ve personally never played it, the workouts look kinda fun but this game has caused so many people to develop eating disorders. Don’t get it lol

Great Potential; Great Concept

Not so great execution. "Wii Fit" attempts to turn your Wii system into a full-blown gym. The concept of a video game exercise program has a LOT of potential, and I think we'll be seeing a lot more of these types of games in the future. But, as for right now... this doesn't really work. The BMI scale ratings in this game are just absurd (an anorexic person is called "obese", for example), the motion sensors aren't always responsive and can be quite frustrating, and, worst of all, the game just isn't that fun. There are a few fun minigames in "Wii Fit", but many of the games are just drab and boring. "Wii Fit" is an interesting experiment, but that's probably the best thing about it: it's an experiment. An experiment with a lot of potential. (Contains no objectionable content.)

Okay

This one is okay but I personally prefer other options such as EA active.

Complete Hoax

After all the hype, not only does this device not help you an inch, but completely wrecks your self esteem. I have an 11 year old brother with two parents who are both normal weighted doctors, and Wii Fit called him obese, while according to an actual BMI scale, he is far from it. After going on for hours training (which the majority of the time, just gives you muscle pain rather than anything worth while), it will generally tell you that you've gained weight. Even if it did work, with kids who are clearly underweight being called normal and normal people being called obese, this title is truly a complete nuisance to society, which (don't take this the wrong way) must have been tested on people from the subject of origin, because who ever they tested it on, must have had zero muscle mass.

Doesn't deserve 5 stars.

It's not a real game and all the mini games are boring and what kind of game makes you exercise? Go outside, exercise and then buy yourself a real game to play.

This is Stupid

This is stupid. Go outside, get some fresh air! The last thing you need is to be staring at a screen. Yeah, yeah you say you're moving and getting healthy but go play with your friends! Invent something outside! What happened to old times? Don't let technology run you life. You can play fun video games like this but DO NOT replace this for outside play. You can ruin your eyes and the $$$ is going to start to add up sooner or later. Buy a 7$ soccer ball and have 99.99999999% more fun and it;s 99.999999% cheaper. This is stupid.

It's good.

It's a good game. Helpful for exercise, But I will state a few things. Insults: The game will call you a "Couch Potato" or "Unbalanced" for losing games. And theres one game that can scare many children... even adults at times! The game Lotus Focus it involves sitting in a black room with a candle in front basically meditating while the game will try to distract you with this: Footsteps, Planks, Moth (this moth dies from the candle) If you lose focus, the candle's fire will go out and a man will be yelling with a symbol on the screen "CUT!", this scared me, and a lot of others
