Good Points

Easy to set up right out of the box and then off you go into the world of Wii and Wii Fit. Actively promotes family fun and fitness - watch out it becomes addictive.

Bad Points

It would have been nice to know earlier when setting it up that access to the Internet is required. If we had known that we wouldn't have set it up where we did and we have stuck the scanner bar to the TV stand - so we will need to buy an extension cable for the USB or try and rip the bar off the TV stand.

Good Points

Gameplay is unique and the balance board which could be seen as a five minute wonder really makes the game(s) more fun to play. With Wii Fit you shouldn't take it too seriously as a fitness machine, but you do build up a sweat. With all the family involved it's great fun

Bad Points

The price of the extra controllers - for bundles such as this aimed at a family then there should be 4 remotes as standard.

Overall score: 9.1
