Please, EG, remove the captions from within the images. It's unreadable half the time, looks awful in that huge font and, well, covers the thing you're trying to look at.
Put them below the preview image, like you do with normal pictures, and all shall be happy. |

Hmmm if this counts as a game, does Nike+ too?
Basically to me looks like a motivational tool for exercise, how lasting it'll be will therefore vary enormously from person to person. |

As someone who is gym fit from going to, you know, a gym I can say catagorically that this game will not improve your fitness. At all. Getting fit requires you to push yourself hard. Damn hard. This game is just eurgh. It will sell millions though.

im with rhubarbandcustard on this. Standing on a wobble board isnt going to stop you being a fatty.

@ rhubarbandcustard: Perhaps these excercises themselves won't matter much for a person's general condition. But the incentive to get your fit age and BMI down to acceptable levels will be there, and that's what matters. People might want to leave that last chocolate chip cookie in the package in fear of the number they'll see on the TV screen that evening.
A must buy imho, if only to experience something entirely new.

My own parents are really excited about this and plan on buying it when they get back from their holidays in early May. Personally, I think it looks too much like hard work and nowhere near as fun to "play" as GTA IV so I won't be buying it. I will have a go on my parents' Wii Fit though to see what all the fuss is about.
Incidentally, does anyone know what the maximum weight is that the board will take? |

As someone who regularly went to the gym for a good many years until recently, I gotta say I will be grabbing a copy of this as soon as I can.
Sure, you can hit the gym and spend time with the weights to try to increase muscle mass or spend time doing cardio workouts, but my main aim these days is to keep supple and lean and this board will help me do that. |

i cant agree with the review -- the Fit is just a left and right input that you step on -- wayyyyyy too simple to be anything more than a mildly amusing novelty. Compare that to Rock Band's various controllers and software interface and there you see thoughtful gameplay design. There's a youtube video that takes Nintendo's ad for the Fit and replaces the narrator and it pretty much sums up how ultra simple the device is.

"it pretty much sums up how ultra simple the device is"
Which is why the game will be a resounding success. Casual gamers have taken over... My sister's pre-ordered this |

Hooray for Nintendo, but as a hardcore gamer, I'd rather the put all their efforts in new versions of known games. Kid Icarus RPG, Faxanadu, Donkey Kong...
But that's just me. I'm glad for big N that tons of moms, sisters and granny's want to step up (no pun intended), butI mourn the death of old Nintendo |

I'm sensing an interesting development in the "why play guitar hero? GET A GUITAR!" school of trolling here:
"Why stand on one leg in a game? GO OUTSIDE AND DO IT FOR REAL!" Even better: Compare that to Rock Band's various controllers and software interface and there you see thoughtful gameplay design. |
