I just got this owrkout game two weeks ago, and I feel better than I did when I used to go to the gym. To get your character to go through the tires you actually have to move your body. From playing this game I sweat, my legs are burning, and my body hurts. This gym is the best workout I have had a while, and best of all it is in the privacy of your own home. Forget the graphics, didn't buy the game for that, the only problem I have is the music, that could of been more to update, other than that this game is fine, I can actually feel the burn. the game is hard so that you can actually work for what you want, in order to unlock tips, you have to complete your workout. I will continue with this game, and write another review if I don't find it satisfying after a while, but for now it is fine in my book.

I coundn't wait till I was able to purchase Jillian's new game for the Wii. When I came home I opened it up and began to set it up. I was disappointed at how dark everything appeared. You can't even see the color of the clothes when you change them because everything appears so dark. My son and I began to play and he was like mom you really wanted this game. It was hard for us to get the controllers to move the person on the screen. We tried various moves and then we we were able to get the person to move they didn't seem to move at our speed. I like the Wii fit and I like to exercise but this was not getting it for me. I tried it again later and but since it has been in the box collecting dust. I don't think I would lose much weight using this game and I don't think the contestants from biggest loser would do as well playing this game eiher. I hope they take it back to the drawing board and recreate it. I still think Jillian has the potential to come out with something great for the Wii.

HARD ... BUT WORTH IT!!!!

My wife and I were so excited to see this game out on the shelves, and could not wait to purchase it. My wife tried and failed to get the game to respond to her the way she liked it to and was very frustrated. It was definitely nothing like the wii fit game. I searched reviews and was disappointed that I hadn't done so in the first place, but decided that I would give it a try. It was definitely nothing like wii fit! You cannot figure out ways to cheat in this game to get it to respond. You actually have to do the exercise the right way in order to get it to respond. This was the best work out I have had not in a gym! After watching me perform the tasks, my wife is also able to get it to work no problem. This game makes you sweat, and feel like you had an intense workout after trying the different obstacles. I will admit, the graphics are not the best, and the screen is a little dark, but the game was purchased for the exercise aspect and not so much for graphics. Definitely worth the purchase!

Very Unsatisfied
PostedJanuary 27, 2009
I tried a few exercises on this game and was not impressed with it. I couldn't figure out how to move the character in the tire exercise, I moved my arms and legs everywhere and the character didn't move a bit. After already being very upset with this game, my Wii froze. I had a friend try the game, she didn't like it much either. As already said.. the game does not interact with the Wii Remote well. This game is also suppose to work with the Wii Fit Balance Board (does so about as good as it interacts with the Wii Remote) unfortunately you are not able to bring your Wii Character into the game, instead you have to make a new one in the game. What is really upsetting is that this game was brand new, I played it twice and hated it... and I can't even take it back and get all the money back for it.
