A useful piece of kit, I purchased mine for 80 pounds with Wii Fit during the original craze for the console and everything associated, for me I don´t feel this has in anyway fulfilled its potential or justified its price.

I might not have the right games, but using it with Wii Fit, I found that it was good fun, but after a while it does feel a bit boring and you lose interest. The issues with balance also trouble me at times as I found it was possible to cheat on games by simply standing in a certain part of the board rather than using skill and balance.

For me its a really good piece of kit that could be utilised more by the manufacturers, i´ve played Shaun Whites Snowboarding which is great fun and uses the board as a snowboard but I don´t think the 80 pounds justifies two or three games of this kind, I really feel they could sell these at a cheaper price as it is really just a large accessory for Wii Fit.

The board itself is slim and sleek and you need batteries to power it, it has an on/off button and you need to tune it to the Wii sensor on top of your tv at first use.

Once you´ve done this you are off, the board can handle up to 20 stone in weight which is handy for a bruiser like me, but it does need to be handled carefully as it does still feel a little bit delicate.

The board is responsive and i´ve found it generally does what I want on Wii Fit and Shaun White Snowboarding, but I do find it takes up a lot of space in the house and really doesn´t get used as much as my Wii controller or my X Box Controller due to the lack of really good games compatible with the board.

I appreciate it might be hard to create games for use with a board, but that makes me feel that it really needs to be better value to justify being anything more than a fad.

It is easy to install, simply 2 AA batteries and tune to your tv sensor, it has been reliable for the last 2 years and is very responsive, when you play a game, you have to allow it 20 seconds for the board to co-ordinate with the Wii but after that your away. For me the variety of features and value for money is its downfall, it is a great and innovative idea but has proved to be a fad in my house.
