Not Just Fun and Games - Wii Fit

In this day and age the number of genres and combinations of genres is almost limitless and still growing (obviously I'm exaggerating a bit). But one of the genres I thought would be the weirdest is the exercise games. In the older days exercise games were limited usually only to dance games. They were simple, you press a button with your foot as the indicator tells you to (trying not to go into too much detail). This day there are additional accessories you add to your home system to exercise. One of the most known and first to bring it to the home consoles was Wii Fit
With the Wii fit you do exercise games categorized under calorie burner, yoga, strength training and balance. It sounds a bit weird, but it really does get you moving. The games are fun, and you can record your progress and record improvements.
As the name implies it is for the Wii system. The only problem was that Wii Fit accessory and game cost about $100, and unless you keep yourself to it and want to do it, it can end up being a waste of money. Overall I give it a 7/10 mostly because it was able to draw me in and keep me for a while, but at the same time after running out of things to do, i stopped playing.
