"No more guilt playing a game console"
Pros: Best thing since WiiSports, great use of Miis, lots of fun, burns calories
Cons: No multi-player board games, could get repetitive, custom music would be nice, takes too long to switch profiles
Summary: Used the fit for a few days now (unlike others here who review the thing without even trying it!!) - and I do think it's a lot of fun. It certainly shows the ability to make me sweat and out of breath, but maybe I'm just really unfit. It's great family fun, especially the ability to use the Miis that your family probably spent lots of laughs creating. The biggest problem is that other family members have to wait until you're done because there's no way to use more than one balance board at a time. Only the 2 player jogging lets you play head to head, and that doesn't use the board at all. Saying that, the jogging is a lot of fun and feels quite realistic. The other problem is, while there are quite a few exercises, after a few weeks you may get bored of them. But then again it beats running on a treadmill that's for sure. Few other complaints: Would be ideal if you could plug in an SD card to listen to your own MP3s while you workout. Family play would be smoother if you could switch profiles more quickly. Also, would be nice to have a screen where it just plays music and shows your balance - without a time limit - so you could, for example, do other yoga exercises that it doesn't support. Would love to see a WiiWare Tai Chi in the future. Great start though, this really has tons of potential. At last now I don't feel guilty when I go to play on the game console!
