The+Biggest+Loser

=The Biggest Loser for the Wii Review=

The game the Biggest Loser for the Ninento Wii in a fitness video game led by trailers Jillian Michaels. The game is based on the TV show with the same name. The game allows you to complete fitness goals in 4, 8 or 12 week work out programs. To play the biggest loser along with the Wii controller, the user needs a wii fit as well as the EA active (a strap that connects the Wii controller to your arm or leg to measure activity.



The game teaches you how to complete various exercises properly. If you don't have the correct motion according to the wii fit and other sensors you won't get credit for completing the exercise and won't meet your fitness goal. The game includes circuit training and to reach certain fitness goals you to properly complete 16 core exercises.

The game taught by giving guidance about how to complete the exercises before beginning a new circuit. In the lower left corner the progress bar reflects how well you are doing the exercises. For instance, if you are completing a lunge, but don't move, the progress bar won't light up. If you lunge halfway, the user receives partial credit because half of the progress bar lights up.The game also tells you how many calories you have burned with each exercise. At the end of the circuit you can see how well you did and it tracks your fitness in a fitness calendar to meet your weight loss goals.

The learning principle that is applied to this game are the practice principle because the fitness routines require repetition.

I couldn't find many forums related to the game, but the most common complaint I found on the forum was that the wii fit board wasn't great about recording the movement. People completed the exercises but the game didn't reflect the work they actually did.

Overall, I thought it was a great workout game. I did think that my time would have been better spent just completing a workout DVD instead of the biggest loser game. I think it took too long between circuits to reload.
