BIggest Loser for Wii

I am getting the Biggest Loser workout for Wii. Does anyone have this (or have tried it)? Does it tell you how many calories you burn? Do you find yourself getting a good workout from it?

It does tell you how many calories, but many people find them inaccurate, especially if you weigh more than normal - they've tested it with their HRMs. So I don't recommend the game if you really want that in your game.

For the most part I've liked the game. I like that it gives me something to do different than I normally would. It gives you 3-4 workouts per week - a mix of upper body, core, lower body and yoga.

Some people don't like the breaks between exercises. I haven't found most of them not very long, but when there are breaks I march or do other exercises to fill in.

The biggest thing I don't like is you don't choose a mii for the game. You choose one of the past BL contestants. You set up the number of weeks you want. Then your character will lose weight based on how much you exercise, calories eaten etc. Because "winning" the game is not based on weight loss your character may look thin long before you do.

You won't find a calorie guide for food on it. You'll have to look that up elsewhere and then enter the numbers on to the game.

You can have someone else do a game for you, but it won't count the workout for both of you - just the main person logged in.

Overall I like it. It's got some problems, but for what I want it for it works.
