I don't have the game, but I hear nothing but praise. The balance board can be used for other games like "We Ski" and it actually does help you stay fit.
I have Wii Fit, it's alright, very detailed about yourself, the games that come with it are rather weak though, like the snowboarding or even the ski games. It really is based all around your weight and gaining or losing it. I bought it and was bored after the second day. I'm also not over or under weight, so for someone who is overweight I can see how using it for excersize can be fun, but for the average kid looking for a game for Wii, might as well look elsewhere. Peace
I wouldn't buy it. If i wanted to play sports id go outside. and i haven't seen any good games using the balance board.
