    I have wanted this game since I first heard of its release. I love the Wii and using it for physical activity. Who knew hula hooping on a balance board could be so tough? I would be very interested in a review of Just Dance as well.

    Meee too! I burned 214 cals today. And i have a score of 804 on that hula hoop! Man is it hard. But so much more exciting them smelling the guy next to me at the gym. Or even worse, being afraid he will move and his very obviously soaked light gray t-shirt that now looks closer to black will some how get on me. EEWWWWW. Either way, WII is fun. And its a great way for my husband to laugh at me and for me to connect with my 10 year old sister.....

    It's even funnier to watch my hubby hula hoop! I never laughed so hard in my life!!!!

    What kills me is the segway. It makes my calves hurt soooo bad!! If I end up getting the Just Dance I'll be back to report on it.

    I bought it and plan on playing it tomorrow for the first time. I will wear my heart rate monitor to check calories and post it.

    It looked so fun I just HAD to buy it. :)

    I played it at a friend's house this weekend and it was some serious cardio but I'm not sure if there are enough songs to keep it interesting after a while. It is lots of fun to play with other people and try to "out-dance" them. It seems like it might be best as a party game.

    Okay, so here is my verdict. Though keep in mind it's only after one playing. :)

    I wore the Heart Rate Monitor to track the burn. I burned around 260 calories in 27 minutes. So, it's definitely effective there!

    I had lots of fun doing it and I did some serious sweating.

    The only complaint I have is the same one I have with Gold's Gym and AE Active Sports - I'd SWEAR I was doing the moves, and correctly, and on time, but the game says I'm not, so I get very bad scores. Playing against myself, this doesn't bother me any. My goal is to sweat and have fun - I did both. I don't expect the Wii technology to be perfect given what it is trying to measure and how. So, I'm good with it.

    Besides, since there is only 30 songs, it enhances game play to keep trying to beat my score and figure out how to get it to register. LOL.
