I wanted a Wii so badly when they first came out...I thought it would be a great way to keep the family active and let us have some fun together.

There was a honeymoon period when we first got it, but no one plays it anymore. The kids would much rather play the xbox, and like always I find better things to do with my time.

I like the fact that some of the games make you move off the couch. But after a while it gets boring. I find wii games are geared toward children. My kids dont even use the wii anymore. Its very pricey too. and the games are pricey.

I received Wii for a Christmas present, and I was pleased.. I used it for awhile, but eventually it became kind of boring. Since then I have upgraded to another product - and I like it much better, as it studies your leg movements as well.

Well....we had to have a WII for Christmas...its now almost May 5 months into our WII and I must say for our family, sadly the novelty has worn off. Its great family entertainment and there are so many games to choose from.But for us Im not sure it was worth the money.

I bought the Wii Fit so that after my surgery I could get back to exercise slowly, as I was in lots of discomfort! I heard mixed reviews on it and thought I'd try it out anyways. The Wii Fit is actually VERY discouraging. I am not new to exercise by any means. I exercise about 6 days a week (hard core bootcamps), however after having abdominal surgery it takes a bit to get back at 'er. When you don't do a certain exercise up to 'their' level then the character on the screen hangs her/his head down in shame. This is certainly a very discouraging tool! My kids also used it with me and they found the same thing. I even caught my daughter who is younger hanging her head down in shame when she doesn't do 'good' enough. I think this is an awful tool for anyone, let alone children. There are a lot of eating disorders out there already and I know this will only add to it. I've since banned it from our house because of that!! (also I weigh 110lbs and am 5'1 tall but the character on the screen shows me as obese....another discourage tool!!) I can't even give this product away!! I had it for free at our yardsale last week and NO takers!! I had many similar comments by both Moms and Dads. It was WAY too expensive and no I would not recommend the Wii Fit to anyone...especially to anyone that wants to lose weight!...it will seriously just make you more depressed!!

We have Wii Fit, and if it did not have the option, I wouldn't have bought the Wii.
It's ok, this system is more for kids or seniors who have never tried video gaming, and are enjoying it for fitness and socialization. Otherwise don't buy it.

We got the wii for our teens last year. It was fun for a while but then they went back to the x-box. My young nephews think its great. They have alot of energy and like jumping. Also lots of fun young kids games. I think it goes over better with young families.
