Biggest Loser for Wii Reviews by Gamers

The exercises are tough but not too hard on my knees/joints(a problem I had with both EA Active and My Fitness Coach). I really like how smooth the circuits are without having to use extra thigh straps/bands. I like this much better than EA Active. I found the game to be mostly responsive, sometimes it did take me a few tries to figure out the speed and correct placements for an exercise but overall it works very well you just have to perfect your form/pace(which is not easy, but most things worth doing aren't exactly easy). I think that is true with any exercise/workout. I found the game to be easy to use, not too complicated(you can change your exercise schedule by clicking unlock schedule and moving the workouts to different days, and I figured that out without reading the instructions) I think there is a bit of room for improvement(like some of the recipes don't tell you how many servings they make--example: Quick Rice Pudding" in desserts and some of the options seem to be liking in as far as knowing how long most workouts are, or being able to remove an exercise from a workout) but overall it's a very motivating/beneficial game to me, it definitely feels like it is going to be the help I need to push me past a hard plateau I've been on for several weeks. I think the eliminations, etc are extremely motivating because competition helps me push harder.

I have a hard time thinking you can get a good excersie on the WII so i just rented the game on gamefly and say what the heck. I put it in and wow just the first time i played It blew me away just was the best work out at home ever.

I really wanted to like this game! My issue is that there is not enough verbal "coaching," so you have to keep your eye on the tv screen, which is not always easy when you're trying to do the exercises. It's not as user friendly as it could be...takes some time to figure out how to effectively use, especially when you don't have the full instruction manual (when renting). The exercises are definitely effective, so that is a big plus, I was just bothered by the fact that it wasn't always clearly indicated via sound when it was time to transition from one activity to another. I also felt that there should have been more form "pointers" available, especially in cases where it was "rating" you lower than perfect form. Often, I felt like my form was perfect, but the game clearly did not agree...and I was not able to determine why.

I was really looking forward to receiving this game and was so disapointed. Yes it does give you a workout but it gets old very quickly and not enough variety in excersises. Another thing that was annoying was the fact that I was working out really hard and the controls just don't synchronize well with the game...all my actions are so delayed. I stood still for about 1 min and my character was still working out lol...I think any games made by Nintendo themselves are better when it comes to synchronization.

I was really excited for the biggest looser and loved it at first but once I really started playing around with all the features I began to get annoyed with the game. I never found a pause button and if I clicked on the wrong section there was no back button once you started a workout. I also disliked the fact that with the custom workout the game would suddenly go really slow in between work outs. I also did not think there was a lot of variety in the workouts. Hopefully next time they create this game these sort of issues will be resolved

The game requires too much time to set up and it is very inaccurate, if it were to be better acquitted to the motions i believe it could be a decent game.

I admit I am in pretty bad shape. While my weight is not as bad as some of the men on finale night my medical condition is not much better than many of the folks starting out on the ranch. First thing I learned you bout need a gym to do some of the exercises Jillian really puts you through the paces and you need some room to move around. Day Two I could barely move even with it set on easy. I did not have the balance board which did limit the quality of some of the exercises, but I really felt the burn. I agree with what I have seen said that they do not give enough detail on how to do the events pretty much watch and follow. Similar to a class over 1on1 training. Once I get a balance board I want to give it another go to really see the difference, but as is it is pretty good.

I loved the game. Excellant exercises and motivation.

Loved the workout....Big plus that Jillian and Bob were in it!!!

With me being a beginner and out of shape, I got a really good workout. I don't know how it would be with someone who isn't but if you are a beginner I think this is a good starting point. .

I like the way you can keep track of your calorie intake and the amount of calories that you burn.
As others have said I can see the exercises getting old real fast but if you variety go to a personal trainer.

Hi, I just sent this back! It is hard. If you are ready to get all into it this is a great game. I did intermediate. It will not let you stop in the middle of a session and the sessions are long. So I guess this is good. I get bored after you do 10 sets of the same thing and have to do more sets? I had to shut it off and I didnt try it again.
