Eh... Biggest loser and Wii fit plus are better in my opinion. I got this on clearance for $15 so I am not too upset but it doesn't register the bicycle or crunches with the balance board no matter what I try. I had better luck on the obliques when I just lay on the floor and move the remote.

AWFUL GAME - waste of $40.00. Very tacky graphics - alot of glitches. You are doing exercises correctly, but it's saying you are not & it keeps stopping. Can't jump around to different areas as they are "locked" until you get to a certain level. Waste of time & money. I have more fun & motivation with my Wii fit plus. Will looking into EA Active sports next.

I just got it today and I hate it.... its not the work outs I dont like, its the look of the game, it doesnt look like a "fun" game that would keep your interests in it at all. I gets boring easily. unless your just highly motivated to do it. And from the looks of it, I can do the same techniques with the wii fit plus game with easier instructions on screen...

I have had this game for 2 days now. Both days I had broke a sweat. The wii fit i do have a problem breaking a sweat and besides I don't sweat much anyway it is a great game and work out. You have to really get into it. who cares if the game says your doing it wrong sometimes it only matters that you are feeling the work out. The game says i sux but i feel the burn. Great game

I bought this "game" because I don't have the time, or knowledge or work outs for that matter, to go to a gym, on a regular basis. Plus it's expensive. I started my resolution two and a half weeks ago and I LOVE IT!!! I sweat profusely every time I so my scheduled workout and my heart races. I feel it in my muscles while im working out and for at least a day afterwards. For you people that say that you are doing the exercises correctly but it's saying you're not.... well... you're not. I've never worked out a day in my life and it doesn't seem to do that for me. This was the best purchase I could have made for myself. I would definently recommend this to anyone looking at buying it!!!

I was so excited about trying this game, and just got it yesterday for my birthday from my kids. I put it in this morning thinking I was going to really enjoy this workout, but was sadly disappointed. There isn't much direction, even when you are performing the exercise correctly, the yellow bar beeps on the screen and at the end Jillian is yelling at you saying "Your wasting my time"!! There isn't very much encouragement either. I would have to say that I enjoy my EA Active Sports & More sports games much better. More direction, more encouragement and a better workout overall.

I have been doing this work out for the last 3 days. I am satisfied with the excersise routines. Each time i have worked out, my heart rate is up & i am sweating withing a 5-10 minutes. No complaints on the game or the price.

I bought this hoping to get a little motivated. How can you get motivated when you are doing the exercises and the screen is beeping at you that you are doing it wrong - when in fact you are doing it correctly. Then Jillian is yelling at you saying 'You called me - I didn't call you'. I've worked out with it about 5 times and am already getting bored. I too wish I would have read the reviews. I wouldn't have bought it. I wish it would tell you how long you have exercised too. I belong to Weight Watchers and it would help with tracking your activity points. On a scale of 1 - 10 (with 10 being the best) - I would give this a 1 1/2.

I got this game yesterday and was very excited about getting started and Jillian kicking my butt. I have worked with both the Wii fit and the EZ Active Trainer so I am familiar with the exercise games, tracking movements, etc. I DID NOT LIKE THIS GAME! I was doing all of the exercises correctly (even though there was no type of tutorial to show me how to do the movements). The EA Active has a little video before each exercise so that you know if you are doing it right or not. When I did the movement how the Jillian avatar was performing it, it would not register movement no matter how differently I moved the remote. I tried some of the exercises with the Board and it wouldn't register even though I was mimicking the movements.
I think that I will go back to my EA Active and also look at buying the new extended version. I thought I had read enough reviews before I bought FU 2010 however it looks as if I should have researched more. Also, the "Trailer" for the game is nothing like the actual game.

Pretty good workout, I was actually sweating within the first few minutes. I'm not massively overweight, but I have lost a couple pounds this week. the graphics aren't great but I didn't buy it to see how great the graphics would be. I bought it for a workout, and it gives me exactly that.

I actually like this way of working out. Yeah, the graphics aren't that great, but who cares? I'm 20 years old and pretty active..and this game makes ME sweat! It's a good quick morning workout before breakfast and the game actually has pretty good diet tips.

the only thing I don't like is the log jump. I can't seem to do it right and my person on the screen won't jump!

Like everyone else i wished i read these reviews before buying the game. It is such a huge let down. I am a big Jillian follower love her way of working out i have lots of her DVD. so i was excited about the WII game. rushed home got geared up and after about 40 min of using it my blood pressure was thru the roof from hollering at the TV did not break not even a drop of sweat it was the worst. The store will not take it back only willing to give me a trade in value of 16.00 what a bunch of crap so if i trade it in i will be out 25.00 plus whatever money i have to put up for a new work out game. Very disappointed!

I am a bit disappointed, this is not what I expected I do wish that it really calculated the movement like Wii fit. I am steadily doing what they ask (even though I'm not seeing the actions reciprocated on screen) and I've broken a sweat. They have the right idea but alot of kinks to be worked out!!!!

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!
I am completely disappointed. The charators are a joke and they move weird. I am going back to WII fit, I only wish that WII fit would develop a way for me to select a 30 to 45 minute work out that ran continuously and saved the results for the very end.

This is without a doubt the worst WII game/ptogram we have bought. I wish we could return it.

WOW!!! I was really looking forward to this game and couldn't wait for it to be released in Aus. But now I'm not so sure.... Is the Aus version going to be just as dodgy as the local USA version? Hopefully they have fixed it before we get it over here.... To buy or not to buy???
