Purchased this two days ago and I was pleasantly surprised at the workout the game gives. Note this is not a game but a boxing workout. First and foremost if you have two Wii Motes PLEASE USE THEM as the nunchuk smacks you in the face or gets tangled for brief moments while hooking and uppercutting...however that being said it is still totally useable with the nunchuk as i havent bought another Wii mote yet.(just got the console for xmas). and this minor annoyance will not deter me from continuing my workout.
The rest of this review is just personal preferences or challenges you may face: *The "mini" games the jumprope...Man i couldnt get a groove going to save my life on this one. Once i jumped 90 times i was happy! then couldnt do it again may b operator error..SMH. * Wish the segments were longer to keep heartrate up but still ok with the small breaks. *Wonderful workout keeps your interest every muscle in my upper body hurt after the first day and i bounce a little extra just to keep in aerobic mode overall i love this and would love for a cardio boxing martial arts workout or a version two for this one!!
What's great about it: ease of learning, effectiveness, music/scene selection
