Disappointing, But You Can Get A Good Workout November 21, 2009 HoyaGirl (Los Angeles, CA United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was really excited when I heard this game was being released, but is has proven to be just ok, particularly if you really like the show. The game is overpriced for what you get. Clearly this game was rushed to the market without much investment into the product. Unfortunately you get tired and unimaginative graphics, confusing and non-existent instructions, and repetitive, droll voiceovers from the so-called trainers. And the worse part of the game were the: (1) very poor calibrations which means you could be doing twice the work of the characters onscreen, but the program often doesn't register it so I routinely "lose" challenges and fail to reach target exercise goals which for me was the whole appeal of the game;(2) the pre-programmed exercise sequences don't have a lot of variety and (3) some of the exercises could use more instructions and it would be nice if they showed some alternative versions of the exercise for those who need more help as they build up to the version shown.
Despite the deficiencies of the game, you can get a good workout doing it. If you don't get too hung up on not being able to "play" the Biggest Loser game because of the calibration issues and you instead focus on doing the exercises, you'll find yourself raising your heart rate and challenged by many of the upper level sequences.
My hope is that they come out with a more reasonably priced sequel that will improve upon the shoddy aspects of this game. It really is a travesty that The Biggest Loser allowed its name to be put on this game. If just 1/10th of the creativity put into producing the show was put into this product, it would have been 100% better.
Excellent game but problems with registering moves November 16, 2009 D. Barrett (Rockville Centre, NY) I love the Biggest Loser television show so I was eager to purchase this game. I also have Wii Fit and EA Active and love each game for different reasons. This game is great and I was definately out of breath and sweating after completing the full body workout. My only complaint is that after working so hard my balance board and/or remote do not register all of the moves I have completed. I know that I have completed the exercises because my heart is pumping, however, it does become frustrating when Wii is not picking up your ENORMOUS effort. Also the calorie counter is way off so basically just ignore it..you will see for yourself if you purchase this game. Overall, great workout.
Well rounded exercise program November 11, 2009 E. Wickham (Anchorage, Alaska USA) I like my workouts structured - it's one less thing to worry about with a busy schedule. The Biggest Loser does a fine job of managing and varying your workout schedule with 4, 8 and 12 week program options. Keeping an equal eye on daily calorie limits, it helps me manage the two major component to a healthy lifestyle - diet and exercise.
There are, however, some program quirks that you have to work around. For example, the user interface to modify your daily calories (by category, another nice feature) uses one set of controls - using the plus button, the "A" button when focused on an up/down arrow (holding the "A" button continues to change the counter), or the directional cross when focused on the calorie counter itself - while the user interface to add additional workout time uses only the "A" button on the plus/minus arrows for single digit changes - holding the "A" button doesn't continue to change the counter.
Another quirk occurs on the day when you have your Challenge and weigh-in. Once you've completed those items on your daily calendar, you are locked out of making any additional changes, even to your calorie count or additional workouts. Any non-challenge day's metrics can be modified anytime.
I had hoped that the trainers would have a little bit more of the personality they show on the show itself, but the majority of the workout voiceovers are Bob's even when choosing Jillian as your trainer. The comments and encouragements tend to get a little repetitive, but that's pretty typical in games of this type.
Still the workouts are solid, with multiple challenging levels to progress through. It's not really like working with a personal trainer, but it's a good, guided exercise program that will keep you challenged and keep you from getting bored.
Good workout November 11, 2009 lvamy (las vegas) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Have been using this for about 3 weeks. Gives me a good workout, but use it mostly for cardio along with regular workout routine. It has a lot of recipes to try and calorie input, if you want to do the whole program, which I have not tried out.
Confusing. November 8, 2009 G. Marshall 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought a bunch of fitness games for the Wii. The Biggest Loser is the most disappointing of the bunch. Bad graphics, confusing instructions and set-up. I believe this is just something NBC is hawking to make some extra $$ without going to the trouble of investing too much in game design. It's a shame, because the show is entertaining and fun. This game is not.
Get Wii Active or My Fitness Coach instead.
P.S. Bob, what were you thinking?
