Good - Wii Fit will get you moving -- especially if you're looking for a gentle, fun introduction to an exercise program.

Good - With Wii Fit, Nintendo has made exercising enjoyable. Not as enjoyable as eating a giant burger obviously, but it's a good effort.

Good - Wii Fit offers plenty of fun and challenging activities that effectively show off the balance board's capabilities. As a fitness tool, however, it leaves much to be desired.

Good - This is a clever way to sneak in a little extra exercise every day - and for some couch potatoes, this could be the best way to start down the path to physical fitness.

Good - Wii Fit's included exercises do have the potential to positively impact your health, but thanks to its lack of exercise options, poor support for multiplayer, and shallow health advice, this title isn't a gaming fitness revolution.

Good - Wii Fit won't replace your favorite videogames, but it may become an activity you'll want to do for a few minutes in the morning before school or work.

Good - We have no doubts that the [Wii Balance Board] will eventually become a must buy, but here and now, for £70? That's heavy.

Good - It not a new idea, but the Wii Balance Board makes Wii Fit feel fresh. It's a cool peripheral that will undoubtedly have many interesting uses ahead. It falls short of making exercising fun, but the positive reinforcement and virtual trainers certainly make it easier to get motivated.

Good - If you really want to lose weight with Wii Fit, you can do it, just as you can build and tone muscle. That a videogame has finally crossed that barrier is impressive.

Good - At £70 Wii Fit isn't cheap and as such can't really be recommended unless you plan on using it to its full potential. It's not a solution to weight problems, but it's definitely a good addition to your fitness routine.

Mediocre - Once you've outgrown the activities in Wii Fit, the yoga may still come in handy as a warmup, and the scale and calendar can be used to track your progress, regardless of your workout plan. With that in mind, Wii Fit is a decent package, and it works exactly as advertised. But you may outgrow it quickly.
