It?ll help get lard-arses off the couch and on their feet and even if you aren?t into fitness then the game itself is still fun for a little while.
Yet, on the other hand the balance board is quite expensive, it is still just another collection of minigames at the most basic level and the reality is that those lard-arses will play the game every day for about two weeks at most before going back to exercising their drinking arm.
Sure, that last part is grumpy as hell, but it?s also true. There?s room for movement, but the vast, vast majority of people will vociferously defend themselves and pledge to play the Wii for hours every day ? only to let themselves off because they had a hard day at work. I know. I?m one of those people.
Judged on fun and ingenuity, Wii Fit gets top marks. Judged on longevity and value though, the game suffers horribly at our admittedly grumpy hands.
The decider then goes to the future of the balance board and whether the hardware can prove itself useful in upcoming games. If the support is there then the game and the hardware will flourish ? but otherwise it may end up as ugly and uncomfortable as the Zapper."
