Easy to follow tutorials for each exercise. You can easily see what you’re doing wrong and instantly correct any errors. Unlockable material provides incentive to stick with the program.
The cost is prohibitive. The balance board is yet another peripheral for which batteries are required. There’s no true multiplayer option.

You can work out those thunder thighs without going to the gym with a variety of fun games and exercises. Plus there’s the bonus of a very accurate BMI/weight scale.
Nothing to tell you how many calories you’ve burned. The BMI readings can’t be turned off for kids.
Wii Fit is a good exercise alternative for those who can’t afford or don’t want to go to the gym. The variety of fun activities make it well worth picking up if you can.
