 I wish I had listened to my boyfriend and NOT bought this game November 20, 2008
In 2007 I went on a quest to lose over 15 pounds and became an avid exerciser in the process. Sadly I got a bit burned out and fell of the wagon. Ever since I've been looking for ways to get myself excited about losing the weight again and to get back to my fit self. Thankfully I discovered the Wii Fit and really been enjoying it. While it's not enough to be my sole workout device it is a fun supplement to what I do at the gym. However part of the initial thrill of Wii Fit was unlocking all of the different levels so once I had unlocked everything I wanted another game. Based on Jillian's reputation I expected this game to be a fun variation and more intense than the original Wii Fit. Sadly, it was neither. I don't want to beat a dead horse but this game is awful. The graphics are very primitive. I blame myself on this point. I should have known from the preview screen. Worst of all the game does not seem to register movement consistently. While I find Wii Fit to be spot on this game often did not register that I was moving even though I was working hard. And when it did was very delayed. Overall this game was so frustrating that I only took it out the day I bought it and have since gone back to the gym and using Wii Fit. This game is a good example of why I will NEVER preorder a game again in the future unless it has gotten good reviews from reputable sources.
Think twice! November 20, 2008
Please think twice about purchasing this game. What a disappointment. I am still trying to figure out how this works. I thought maybe it was me. But after reading all the other reviews, it is not me.
Disappointed November 19, 2008
I was looking forward to this game because I love Jillian Michaels. I would love to have her as my trainer. The game is disappointing. The graphics are not great and mine got stuck in the middle of a workout and it took forever to get it unstuck. I was hoping for something like the Wii fit workouts and it really let me down. The aerobic workout on the Fit are much more fun.
So Disappointed With This November 19, 2008

I ordered this back in October before it came out. I was so excited when I got it. I thought it would take my Wii Fit workouts to the next level. All it has done in the past few weeks is frustrate me. The controls are not intuitive...and I honestly have yet to feel like I've gotten a good workout from this. The running is a joke... the boxing is horrible. It seems like nothing works as it should. I really wish I had waited to order this until I had seen more reviews. Very disappointed. Don't waste your money.
Could have been so much better November 19, 2008

I got this game to help try to exercise. Did not work. I burn more calories playing Wii Fit or DDR! Hard to control your avatar. Not very user friendly and the avatar itself is not fun at all. You cannot change very much. I expected alot more out of this game and was very disappointed. Canoeing is the only exercise that I can feel while playing this game. Bummer.
