4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent workout title for young kids, November 17, 2010

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Nickelodeon Fit (Video Game)
With all the Wii exercise games out there, it seems that there's been a paucity of active fitness titles suitable for younger members of the family. The two attempts to reach this market have been D3's Family Party Fitness Fun and Knowledge Adventure's Jumpstart Get Moving. But both of these games have been dreadfully disappointing.

And so I'll admit I was a little wary when I first tried Nickelodeon Fit. But after spending a few hours with it, I'm happy to report that finally, we have a kid-friendly fitness game that is a lot of fun and does provide some decent exercise value. And it's a bonus that our familiar friends Dora, Diego, Kai-lan, and the Backyardigans are part of it.

Each of the four friends has seven activities you can choose from (as with most Wii games, they have to be unlocked as you go). There are also two activities that involve all of the characters for a total of 30 overall.

Some of the activities are simple (thrusting the Wii... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute game, easy to follow and a nice little workout for the kids, November 24, 2010

I bought this game as a Christmas present..then decided to dig it out early to help the kids get some of that energy out of their systems during this school break!

It began with a quick and easy set up - very simple to create a profile for your kids: name, age, a picture they want to represent them such as a ball or bike (might have been nicer to have their Wii Characters, but the pictures made set up easy and no need for endless screens to chose hair color, outfits etc). It also asks their height and weight.

Then its a quick start, kids can chose single or multiplayer and games are quick and easy! One thing I REALLY liked about this compared to many Wii games on the market, this responds well and accurately to the Wii remote - as an adult it gets rather frustrating when the game and remote do not work well together, but for kids this can be even more challenging but no such worries here - as they move, it quickly picks up their actions and responds...

4.0 out of 5 stars adults can play it too!!, November 21, 2010

This review is from: Nickelodeon Fit (Video Game)
I bought this game for my 4.5 y.o. daughter and it is just a bit 'over her head' at this point - she gets frustrated with it after playing a couple games and then loses interest. I'm guessing it is best for kids at least 6. y.o.

however as an adult i play it and i like it better than wii fit, in terms of both exercise effectiveness and fun. Some of the games really get you moving and they arent as involved or picky as the adult wii fitness games.

I went shopping for a kid fitness wii game about 1 month ago and it seems they were described as boring and mediocre so i held out for this one and am glad i did - i definately wouldn't describe it as either.

For each game you can choose whether you want to use the wii balance board and the controller or just the controller. I haven't tried it w/ the bb yet but the controller by itself seems to work just fine.
