Video Games : Wii Fit
I must say though the Wii fit is mildly entertaining, it was not what I has expected when I purchased it.
I thought I would be able to have a fitness class or some training at home. What the Wii fit offers is a demonstration of very short exercises you can choose to do. There is no 'class' or even substantial segment of fitness routines anywhere on Wii fit. You must INDIVIDUALLY select to do a single yoga pose or a single set of push-ups. After each one, lasting approximately 1-2 minutes, you must choose to "retry" or "quit". When you "quit", you return to a menu to select another individual exercise. There are several things in between each and every exercise you complete providing feedback and a score. Not bad information but terrible to stop constantly and push A and wait again ... Read More

I've played the game just a few times so far, all single-player.

The adaptive difficulty engine is interesting in theory. At the start of the game, you are walked through a series of simplified game scenarios and tested on your ability to react appropriately. At the end of each test you are rated. The scenarios are in four general categories (pass offense, rush offense, pass defense, rush defense).

The problem with the adaptive difficulty engine so far is that it measures you on things that do not equate well with the hard parts of the game. I was ranked "All-Pro" in pass offense and "All-Madden" in rush offense, yet in my first couple of games I threw tons of picks and had several runs totally stuffed. So my ranking in those skills has gone down. My skill hasn't ... Read More

Well it is pretty much what the title says. You get apts, you get landlords, your get noisy neighbors with new "noise" graphics (and a bang on the wall option), your sims can have a butler again, new vending machines, a human statue, open mic, other little odds and ends. No new cars (nightlife) but you can get a helicopter and from what I hear you get the option to "woo hoo" in it, lol. I am pretty happy with this EP, which unlike Freetime-which had bugs for days, it seems pretty glitch-free, so far. I am sure there are a few that perhaps I haven't stumbled onto yet, but so far, no major problems (keeps fingers crossed it stays that way). It comes as a DVD-Rom so make sure you have a computer that plays DVDs. My game came with an insert to download a Sims3 hoodie and t-shirt. Also, if your look VERY ... Read More

I used to own one of the GT for Playstation 2. And I think that while the graphics are mind-blowing, the driving experience has not changed at all.

Some reviews already point out that the game is pretty much the same as its predecessors, but with a lot more of eye candy. I agree. So don't expect car damage, and any other 'game immersion' features from other less graphical games.

Good game for starting your collection for your Playstation 3. Don't pay more than $20 for it though.
