The balance games and aerobic activities are fun for everyone and are worth the price alone...


Highs: Improves sense of balance; good mix of fun and exercise; easy setup

Lows: Questionable fitness evaluation abilities; only one board can be synced with a Wii at a time

Where to buy:

Introduction

Exercise-oriented video games aren't new, but Wii Fit is certainly the most technically advanced one yet. Fun games like snowboarding, Hula Hoop, and tightrope keep it from being tedious. The ingenious Balance Board tracks your center of gravity, and although we're skeptical about its fitness evaluation criteria, a few weeks of use has noticeably improved our balance. We wish you could save your own workout routines, and we advise against taking it too seriously as a fitness tool, but overall we're impressed with Wii Fit, and the Balance Board has lots of potential as a controller.
