Disappointed:
Like many of the responses, I was also looking for another option to the Wii Fit. As a Biggest Loser Fan, I immediately pre-ordered this DVD and I have to say that it is a bomb. I agree that the graphics are awkward, but more importantly the sensitivity of the game is off. I was doing the exercises correctly and it did not register right.

I had such high hopes for this game:
I really like the Wii fit game but there is one thing I do not like about it - it's the fact that I cannot just pick my moves and do a continuous workout.

Most of the game I was just 'jogging' - then there were mini games inside. The reaction time on the mini games is horrible and I spend more time over exerting my motions to TRY and get it to register than thinking about... more info
