This game looked so great and when we got it home we were very dissapointed. The character does not move at all the way you want it to. It is nothing like wii fit. Played it for about 5 minutes..turned it off and put in wii fit. They should be paying everyone back that bought this game. What a huge ripoff. Surely someone tested this before putting it out.

This is so much more of a workout than the regular Wii Fit. The graphics aren't anything special, but I don't care about the graphics because I purchased it for a workout. The first time I used it I was sweating after 5 minutes, and that was on Light. I've been increasing my workout time and have moved up to Medium, and I'm sore all over! It's a great workout. You have to really pay attention to the instructions, and you have to know that it's registering your hand movements. The only time you need the balance board is if you want to weigh in. I love it, and am glad we bought it!

Like everyone I wish I would have read the reviews. It is very disappointing. The only work out I get is yelling at the tv screen. It is frustrating when the person doesn't move. ould nt recommend to anyone!!

I was really excited to buy this game, I really like Jillian Michaels but after reading all the reviews this is one purchase I will not make.

I'm so frustrated with this game. It does NOT work right with the Wii remotes. The workout you get is just from trying to get the game to respond to your moves. Wish I had done my research before wasting $40. Target won't take it back.

I liked it. At first I was like what is wrong with it. But now I do the custom work outs and I live. I worked out for 30 mins and was sweating my A** off!! and I am not overweight or that out of shape. I liked it!

Got this for xmas and today was the first time I used it. my game keeps freezing up! I've rest and tried again three times and it keeps happening. I'm so frusterated. I was really looking forward to this workout game.

The Moves are not very well explained -- like the Wii Fit. It doesn't judge your movements very well. Sometimes it hard to do want its asking you -- even though I'm moving and doing what it said. JUST DOESN'T EXPLAIN!! I like that it is continual movement for 5-60 minutes. But I would also like to choose the time of the intervals.

I guess im in the middle.. I do wish i had read the reviews first though....The first time i tried this i was so frustrated too.. THEN.. my daughter came over and figured it out.. I think the biggest problem are the lack of instructions!!!! The grenade toss I found you had to have the wii remotes in your hand with the controls facing the floor...
NOt impressed but there isnt too much you can do after youve bought it :(

This is the worst game ever made. I dont know how it made it past the game testers!!!!

I bought this for my girlfriend. It was played for 5 minutes before we got pissed and gave up. I called the store I bought it from the next day to find out I could not return it....

didn't they test this game with real people before putting it out there live? what were they thinking? jillian surly had to test it didn't she? the contestants on the biggest loser?? because there are just way too many glitches in this thing for me to believe that anyone took the time to test it! my husband got it for me for christmas knowing how much i love my wii fit and how much i love the biggest loser and jillian. after me saying the f word and screaming at the tv, he decided to do some research for fear of a wii remote going through his big screen hd tv! lol. he comes back and explained what someone else explained before you have to move the remotes really fast. really??? then how do i do the movements while doing that?? and try jumping through tires while shaking your hands fast! not fun at all. why can the wii fit do it and this game can't? doesnt add up to me.
i am taking mine back. maybe with all the returns before me they wont give me a hassle

I bought it. Tried it and promptly sold it for $10.00. (Much less than what I paid for it.) But I hope the person who bought it from me knows what a good deal they got.

this game was not what I had expected. The website makes it seem like it will be great. the controllers don't even recognize your movements. very disappointed.

I bought this yesterday and am also dissappointed. I did figure out most of the actions to get a workout and move my avatar. But so not a way I think burning calories should be done. I would love to see Jillian make up for this crappy endorsement.

It is terrible. It does not work! It does not mimic your moves at all! Dont buy!
