Horrible

The game freezes the Wii to where it has to be unplugged. I went online to try and find fixes but the only solution is to disconnect Wii from internet, and that doesn't always work. It has little to no interaction with the player, I may as well be working out with the exercise shows on tv. It was a great concept for a tough workout routine, but had no follow through. Don't waste your time and money.

Poor Experience with THQ and Best Buy

I received this game as a gift and it was awesome when you get to do quick workouts. However when you set up a profile and begin a Workout Routine that tracks your progress it does exactly what every other reviewer has previous stated, freezes.
As it turns out THQ the developer of the game released this game on all platforms with an inherent bug that freezes game play during the progressed tracked workouts. Where the XBOX and PS3 received patches to combat the issue, the Wii got the short end of the stick. Go to the THQ website and there you will find more unhappy individuals who have experienced the same problem. THQ would not rectify the issue nor did Best Buy.
My wife tried returning the defective game to Best Buy only to have the Store Manager not believe her and suggested she should contact Nintendo about our Wii. THQ and Best Buy both did a poor job of taking care of their customers.
***Buyer Beware***

DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU CAN RETURN IT

This game has bugs. It WIIL LOCK UP after 10-15 minutes of exercise. Go to amazon's website and look up other reviews. My wife purchased this and tomorrow we will be trying to return it as the mazimum workout she has gotten was 15 minutes. No other games have problems on our Wii. The game disc is clean, no scratches, dust, etc...
I have read reviews that the PS3 and XBOX versions had software patches released to address their problems(the same) but that the Wii did not.
I will not be waiting for the software patch.

AVOID at all costs

As stated by every review I can find of this game online - this game WILL freeze up and it's nearly impossible to complete a workout. It's too bad because the game itself is not bad but if it freezes (requiring you to hard-reset your entire system, not just the game) so it's basically useless. Not only that, but Best Buy will be completely unsympathetic and not allow you to return the game if it is opened (unless it is for a replacement of the same game - which is pointless - why replace a broken thing for another broken thing?). I'm not sure what to do at this point but I'm going to try calling THQ customer service - wish me luck.

Don't waste your money or time

This game was a complete waste of my driving time do buy the game 20 min one way and a waste of my money. I should have read the other review. The game does great the first time, but after about 10 minutes or so it begins to lock up. Then you can't play for more than five mins without it locking up. This is the only game in my house that locks up. Don't waste your money or time, because in the end you will return it.

Got this as a gift, I was just getting on the website to find where it was in stock so I could exchange it because it freezes up, when I came upon these other reviews with the same problem! What a bummer! Such a cool game but now I guess we'll just return it :(

Glitches the WII

We have 2 WIIs in the house and it causes both of them to glitch and freeze so you have to turn off the WII with a hard shut down. I wasn't happy with this since they hyped this up so much.

this game doesnt work

This game does not work and will not work in my game console, yet when i have tried to return it all i get is that you are unable to take it back because of a copyright law. The game just freezes when I try to play it for more than five minutes and I have tried this now on three different games. Basically the manager told me I get to keep exchanging this product even though after three tries it is very unlikely that it will ever work. I have gotten the worst customer service at this store. I understand that I cant get cash back for the product. But at least I should be able to get a gift card for the amount considering the product is defective.
