Overall, this game is exactly what it's titled: The Biggest Loser. Most licensed games will use a franchise name and little else, but this isn't one of them.

Worth Playing

Fans of the show will enjoy this title immensely, while others can still get a lot out of the content offered here, especially if their only exposure to exercise is Wii Fit.

The Biggest Loser impressed me. While this game certainly has some flaws in its motion tracking and lacks the polish of some of the higher budget fitness games from bigger publishers, when it comes to finding a workout that can get your heart pumping, The Biggest Loser can compete.

One might be quick to pass a title like this off as an attempt to cash in on a popular TV show. Heck, we see it all the time. There is real value here though....The game is an extension of the show in that it provides a new way of enabling people to lose weight and this deserves praise.

The harder players work out the better the avatars will look at the end of their program. This is a neat extra incentive to continue to play this game.

This game has motivated me to move. I am an excercise avoider...and with it right there in the livingroom, I have no excuse. I also can do it with no sneakers on...which for some reason I really enjoy?! Jillian makes me mad, but Bob I love, the first few times he called me his "overweight lova" I had to stop and laugh. PROS: challenges are fun (and hard) workouts are diverse and not boring options for 1,2 and 3 month work out schedule options for beginer, mod, and advanced workouts can change schedule around ahead of time can put in calories eaten daily gives feedback on calorie intake and workouts CONS: why can't my Mii be my character? I don't want to be Ali, nor do I want her weight loss to register at MY weigh in. A BIG disapointment for me. It does track my weight loss on a graph, but not when I step on the scale. Only one warm up and cool down routine is offered.

I love this game, but I didn't give it a 10 because the warm-up is always the same and it doesn't have a lot of excersises to choose from. BUT I did give it an 8 because I did the Upper Body workout two days ago and I'm still feeling it in my abs and arms. It definitely does work, you just have to do it correctly and not be lazy!

I am a fan of the show, but I wasn't planning on buying this game. It went on sale some local stores after the new year so I caved in and bought it. I am soooo GLAD I did! I am very impressed with this game! It has different levels so you don't have to worry if you are just starting out on an exercise routine. I do workout at a gym and also run, but after playing this (beginner level on game - I might add) I used muscles that I didn't know I had!!!!! I would recommend this to anyone !

Lets face it. No game as yet can watch your movements. This is as close as it comes. You have to be honest during game play or get a personal trainer to yell at you. Great workout, different intensity levels,easy to understand and easy on my knees. A problem with other workouts. I gave it a 9 only because I wish they had included some hand weight activity. (which you can do on your own) Great game!

Kevin W gave it a9:
THIS GAME IS AWESOME! the only reason why i didnt give it a ten is becuase there eyes are dead and weird. ( my fav part is the dreaded elimination, lol_ u guys did a great job of gettin people off there butts in the game and on your show!!!

mike r gave it a1:
didnt really do it for me. Not the best looking game and rushed and unpolished in places. A quick cash-in attempt on the license, could have been so much better if done right.

Emma R gave it a10:
