Advantages: easy to use and master. bits and bobs store neatly

Disadvantages: you may still be doing the excersie wrong and get too many calories registered

As a bit of a workaholic who is afraid of my other half seeing me in gym gear, this seemed like the ideal thing for me. I have the wii fit board too which is compatable with this game.

It is the same price as the normal console games but you get the resistance band, which doesnt look like much and feels like it will snap at any give moment. Once you learn to trust that this wont happen though, it really does work!!

You can set yourself challenges, and focus on different areas of your body, which is where it differs from the wii fit.

you can see your character moving in time with you, and can chose the intensity level of your excersise.

It calculates the amount of calories that you should burn, and this kind of makes you want to do more, by enabling you to beat this target. the workouts themselves all have great little tutorial videos that show you exactly what to do, and how to position the leg strap and resistance bands if in use.

there is also the facility to enter your excersise outside of the game, abd your general eating and healthy habits.

I set myself the standard 30 day challenge (which suggests some rest days to allow your body to keep up) and genuinely felt much firmer as a result, i can walk up the stairs to my office now without being so out of puff, and feel more confident.

plus my other half takes part too and looks a great as i feel, definately worth it in my opinion!

Summary: great fun way to work out, pays for itself in equivelany gym membership
