Super innovation with small flaws!

Instant Action ...
Why I forgive no 5 stars?
Simply because Wii Fit just is not perfect! It is fun, provides long-term motivation and in my eyes is also worth the money but there are, unfortunately, one or the other little thing that is not so well done.

So I come to these criticisms "

1.) The remote-control problem
The need to constantly confirm "of any messages annoying as with virtually all Nintendo games The notes are all nice and not superfluous -. However, they are just that, when you again have to read after each exercise, the hold in your hand." Of Remote interfere anyway with the one or the other yoga exercise a little. If they are then as I puts away, you often have to do it again to grab it, because again any indication with A must be confirmed - then perhaps the message comes, you want to please stand still. That's not really bad, but might have been better solved (eg confirmation is not similar by printing the A-button but by lifting the left leg?)

2.) The "Multiplayer"
When training with several games you can not sequentially or even with each other but must train repeatedly out almost entirely from the Mirror in the so-called Wii Fit lobby to there to select the next Mii. That is certainly so because the Wii is capable of storing only the data of a player at the same time and before each event by weight also checks whether really the right thing on the board is - but if we play with our children, of course, always want the succession (since another not possible except while jogging) be off, and it's a nuisance to have to start every time again almost from the very front. I think that that would have been otherwise resolved.

3.) error tolerances of the measured values
The integrated scale does not seem so real to me exactly. First, you must always specify the weight of his clothes when weighing at the start - if you :-) not trained naked. Certainly here lies a source of error. The Wii is to choose a dress weighing 2.0 and 1.0kg in front and another field for individual input. I have initially indicated the ignorant 1,0kg for supposedly easy "clothing (sweatpants, T-shirt and the usual underneath), but later found that the clothes do not even weighed half a kilo. But that has everyone in his own responsibility. I was surprised but then, that I was supposed to 1,7kg lighter on a Sunday evening with the same clothes and despite excessive grilling as the morning .... Such data makes use of the Wii-Fit course you!

4) explanations, instructions, manuals ...
It lacks many exercises (although basically explained well) important information. Since I was a few years back because of patellar tendons irritation in rehab and had to do there, especially Ballanceübungen, I know that his knees must not push through with these exercises. No evidence therefor in the program! Even with some muscle or yoga exercises such hints would be helpful. If I have to, for example, with the fingertips touch my toes - can I bend your knees, or should they remain stretched and I go just down only so far as it goes ??? Then you can not see in some exercises that you do on the ground, the screen, because you simply can not get his head so high. Here is a more detailed linguistic instructions of the coach would be helpful. Some simple tips to basically yoga, aerobics, etc. would have been well and could easily be in the game manual - in the stands but suffered only superfluous stuff!

5.) For children, the rating is too hard
An extra child mode or a child fairer assessment would have been nice. Our four year old is really happy with but totally demotivated by the eternal poor "ratings with only one star A four year old can now times the balance does not hold as an adult -. It could have been considerate Our sons are in the Wii Fit Age. both 17-20 years older than normal, my wife and I 7-8 years younger. As the game from 3, I would have wished that since different standards are applied.

6) How to measure the Wii my muscles ???
Some reviews are simply not objective. Example jackknife: Lying on the floor is to be done 10 jackknife. The only contact with the console takes place when his verse lays back on the Balance Board after each jackknife. Already after the first time I had a score of 100 points and was dubbed abdominal miracle. Now I'm not overly thick, but have the abdominal muscle expression of a pot-bellied pig - ie abs are virtually non-existent with me ... In this case, the exercise per se top the rating is but simply nonsense - this is, unfortunately, for most muscle exercises as not really a muscular man but basically some say the sweat drifting. I recommend the 10 pushups with Seitstand. Hammer !!!

7.) footprint
Build a large living room! The exercises that need to be done on the ground require partly over an entire body length between TV and the nearest wall. During my almost two meters is there's a bit tight and we live after all in-house. Therefore caution is advised granny flats. ;-)

In addition to many, many good qualities, these are a few criticisms of Wii Fit. But all in all I advise in any case to purchase. Whoever manages actually every day to train his half hour in any case no health benefit even though I think other associate myself that a fat burning with WiiFit can not be achieved - but maybe it's a boost on the way there. I can do that with the daily training not because before 8 clock in the evening is no time for it and if the woman wants to watch TV then ... ;-)
Really surprised I am by the precision of the Balance Board. Even the smallest movements are registered and when the body test exercises you quickly realize how difficult it is even absolute Stationary! The balance exercises provide in contrast to other parts rather relaxing. Here it comes to pure physical control, not by force or condition and, accordingly, it comes here to a little playful. Some may be surprised but (an effect that I already knew from the rehab) how fast you just to learn in the field of body balance, if you practice regularly. After a few weeks can do things that you previously thought impossible ... why these exercises make so much fun.

So, who as I can ignore safely via the above criticisms, which I can only recommend WiiFit. That the whole package is a really strong innovation in the games sector in any case, no one will seriously deny. And certainly there will someday be a sequel and more games that are controlled with the Balance Board.
