I received this as a gift and like someone stated in a previous review, it's very hard to get the controllers and the "game" in sync. I have been hit with the wires connecting the nunchuk and the remote and never can get the runner to run fast. I will be running in place and my "person" is standing there. Had I known it was like this I'd have never opened the package and I would have taken it back. I don't enjoy it and would rather use my WII fit. It is very frustrating to come in from work, eat and want to work out and then have this as a work out. I have gotten to where I use the WII fitness every day and then use both on the weekends. I just don't feel like I get much of workout with Jillian. Jillian may need to stick with "The Biggest loser".

What a disappointment
PostedJanuary 8, 2009
I would not recommend this game to anyone! The wii fit disc is much more of a workout than this one! I got so frustrated with this game because the controller didn't seem to get in sync with the game and I felt I was wasting my time, which is very valuable to me! I was so excited to get this game and I was so disappointed in it. I am trading it in when the new fitness game comes in so at least it won't be gathering dust on my shelf. I don't believe this game was very well thought out . It had alot of potential but it failed miserably. I would put in the time I wanted to work out and it would never be for the amount of time I asked for. It also told me after working out for about 20 minutes I burned about 40 calories. Are you kidding me? When I use the wii fit with the wii fit disc, I am working up a sweat, this one I can't even get to work right to even break a sweat. Trust me, if you get this game you will very disappointed!

Don't waste your money!!!!!!!

I wish I would have paid attention to the other reviews. The graphics were ok, but not the greatest. The worst part was trying to get the controls to do the tasks required for you to complete the different tasks. I almost hit myself in the head several times with the cord to the nunchuck trying to get the controls to do the necessary tasks and then it would move very slowly. This was a major disappointment for me as I was hoping to add to the WII fit, which I love. You'd be better off joining a gym rather than trying to complete these tasks, and I did not get much of a workout either. I spent more time trying to get the controls to work rather than being able to get in a good evercise. If nothing else, please pay attention to these reviews and do not waste your money or buy it used and try for yourself, but don't buy it new!!!!!!!!!!

Complete waste of money!

This game is horrid! It's just really horrible and not much fun. It's confusing to set up, the challenges are dumb. The controls don't work very well, and it doesn't really explain how to manipulate the remote and nunchuck very well. You really don't have much to work with when creating a character and even that isn't done easily. When "Jillian" talks its out of sync, it's really just not worth the money. The game that comes with the Wii Fit is much better. I was really disappointed as I thought this game would be fun and a nice change from the game that came with the balance board. I don't recommend this game at all, but if you must try it out for yourself I would buy it used that way you can try it out and if you hate it (like I think you will)! You can return it. It's what I wish I had done, but it was cheaper to buy NEW! Complete rip off.
