The Wii Fit balance board is very smart and complex and makes playing games even more fun. The balance board was originally designed to go along with wii fit and in doing so, showed off how sensitive the controls were. The board can pick up the slightest movements which are then transferred to the game. It can tell what foot you are standing on, pressure you are placing on your feet, calculate your weight, BMI (with wii fit and can even weigh your dogs).

Now obviously, the board is pointless by itself and it cannot be used with every game on the wii console. However, with an ever growing list of games available (snow boarding, cheerleading etc), the options for this game are growing.

It is quite a large device so storing it could be a potential issue. There is also a weight limit of 18 stone so this should be bared in mind.

It is a really smart device though and in my opinion, this along with the wii fit game are a must have if you have a wii console. The high popularity and high sales of the wii fit show how good this is. Therefore, i would seriously recommend it.

If anyone has any other questions then just email me.
