So, I got Wii Fit last week. I can see how it might be very helpful in tracking your BMI and teaching exercises and such, but man that fascist little circle that you have to stay inside drives me nuts. No matter how well you do, it never seems good enough. Also, some of their balance tests seem arbitrary. How come I'm a rockstar at one and a complete failure at another? Why does my "Wii Fit Age" jump from 27 to 42 to 34 when I've made no real changes? It seems to be based on how well I can manipulate the game, not how good my balance is. Anyway, it just seems like a number of the things the game says are designed to make you feel bad. I don't want to get all PC and whiny, but man, it ticks me off sometimes. Shouldn't the game be supportive, rather than critical? I mean, that's a big "duh" in my book. Who wants a putdown instead of supportive encouragement?
Note to Nintendo: I don't know how they do it in Japan, but Americans don't like to be verbally abused.
