Honestly, there are more negative things that I could say about it...and I will! You have to watch the screen whenever you do workouts because it gives you a specified amount of time it'll take you to do that particular workout (a lot of them are about 30 seconds, 45 seconds, but they're put back to back so they make up routines of about 15-30 minutes). You have to know when to stop, let's say, doing jumping jacks so you can start doing crunches. Where do they expect you to put your DS? On your handy-dandy DS holder? Really I just bought this because it was the cheapest workout thing I could buy but any workout game you get on a handheld is probably not going to be very good. Plus you have to start out every routine with 5 minutes of running. It doesn't give you a choice, even if you try making your own routine (which I like doing, that's a plus). You could skip past it though, which is another feature I like. You can skip past any workout you don't feel like doing. There is a graph to show how much weight you've lost and when you see it, it really motivates you to lose more. There's a calendar to keep you on schedule for the workout routines you were going to do over the week. More things I don't like: The "tips" she gives you are ridiculous! There aren't that many. Like 9 for each category or something like that and there are only, like, 4 categories. It's not like they change so once you've read them you're like "ok...well that was a stupid part of the game...why couldn't she have just put that in the manual?" and I would say, "I don't know!" But honestly, if you can't get the Wii version or you can't get a different game then this game does have some workouts in it that help you lose weight.
