Really disappointed with this purchase - of course the video review made it look wonderful and the visuals are extremely good but the content, well forget it.
You can hop around the island to chose your exercises but you have to click and click and click again which meant that my right hand got a really good workout. Then you seem to get the same exercises in more than one location on the island so made it repetitive - as are all the exercises in the preset workouts.
But for me the most off-putting was the music. It turned me into a neurotic mess with its metallic din and aggressive tone - felt I was training to be a prize fighter - at least the film music for rocky is more inspiring!

This game is better than the previous Fitness Ultimatum 2009 but still feels too cartoonish. I am a huge Jillian Michaels fan and I wish she would make a more professional looking game like the NewU games

you dont have to be a fitness fanatic to enjoy this game, its perfect to play long term and has great effects but is also good to fill time and wake you up a bit. More serious than wii fitness but is encouraging and informative with useful routines and fitness tips.

I thought from the reviews I found and the video clips that this would be a cut above the wii Fitness Couch but it has a lot less features. I did quite like some of the actual exercises but it doesn't have explanation of them so you are not sure what to do at the start, you can select a pre-defined work out but it doesn't tell you how long it is. There is nothing at the end to tell you how many calories you have burnt. When you create your own work out, it again doesn't tell you how long it is so you can't plan one for say, the morning time. The graphics are mediocre at best. I went back to My Fitness Couch afterwards and decided it is a lot better than I had remembered. The only things that bother me about my fitness couch is that the controls are always that responsive and my avatar looks fat, I know that petty but I am not fat and I don't like seeing a fat version of me on the screen, I have tried reducing the weight and it doesn't make any difference :) . Disappointed, I was looking forward to this...

I was convinced to get this as it was the best reviewed of the Jillian Michaels bunch. I love using the Wii as a fitness tool, but I'm so disappointed that Nintendo really missed a trick in not fully utilising the technology to create more immersive, exhaustive titles with inventive mini-games and extra downloadable content. The ONLY two games I have played that have done the Wii justice in terms of fitness are EA Sports Active 2 where you use the leg and arm band to monitor yourself, and My Fitness Workout Cardio Boxing which is just brilliant in the way it rewards you for working out, unlocks items as you play and bulds you up slowly to get you fit and strong.
This is SUCH a contrast, poorly designed, lacking in every department and just a let down, it's not really any fun to come back to and the routines are dull or ugly. The Biggest Loser Game is unresponsive but much better compared to this. Give these a miss unless you're desperate for variety but you'll probably only play it a could of times before giving up.

I am a Biggest Loser USA fan and love this game. Jillian will always shout at you if you are not trying hard enough. It's just what I needed. Just like the real show. Thanks.
