It finally arrived and now I just want to cry. Even if you faithfully tried to use the software, you wouldn't be able to do the proper breathing because you'd be laughing so hard (or sobbing in my case). What a disaster.I bought the original Wii Balance Board specifically to get the yoga software, and while many people correctly complained that the yoga routines where clunky, it actually worked well enough for me. I loved having the feedback from the balance board as I did a pose and discovered that I wasn't balancing as well as I might as I watch the red dot move around, and that is a kind of feedback even a personal yoga instructor cannot give. I believe the Wii has fantastic potential for yoga and I was thrilled as I'd see my scores slowly improve along with my balance. So after a while, I started looking for a more sophisticated version assuming that some developer would improve on the...

What we got was not worthy of a single workout, let alone a daily routine.I popped in the disc and it had me create a profile, ok, that's easy enough. I was presented with 3 game modes, story, training, or routine. I figured I would start with story mode and see how the game plays. We select our instructor, then we get a video from Anja Rubik saying why she loves yoga, then the game loads again. Finally we get into the yoga temple. For the first 5 minutes you follow your instructor around the building stopping to look at every statue and painting along the way, we finally get to a room that has a painting with a pose inside of it. I finally get to the room and it teaches me that pose. Basically, the story mode is going from room to room learning each pose one at a time with a couple minutes of break in between. Argh. I went back to the...

They did get the music right and the story mode is full of good information including mention of chakras. However, the graphics are terrible and you can't really explore on your own -- you have to just follow the guide around. I couldn't even figure out how to interact with anything.The real problem, though, is when you actually go to do a pose. The balance board and remote are only used to check your form if you are in story or training mode. Then it really only seems to check to make sure your hand is steady and your weight is evenly distributed. Even this part is up to you as the game doesn't give you feedback. The routine section is even more disappointing. The routines are supposed to help you with different things like a headache, a cold, etc., but they're more like random grab bags of unrelated poses with no warm up... Read more |
