This article is a big picture view of what people on the web are saying about the Zumba Fitness game on the Wii console to see if it's going to be a worthwhile purchase for you.
I'll start out in this article by talking about the original Zumba Fitness Wii game and then I'll talk about the Zumba Fitness 2 Wii game in a future article.
The original Zumba Fitness Wii game gets excellent feedback from almost every review I've seen when it comes to how fun it is to just launch into the game, try the dancing routines and just have a good time. There are positive comments about the music getting your pulse racing and the routines being a lot of fun to try and do.
The overall reviews about Zumba Fitness for the Wii focus in that the dancing is really fun, burns a lot of calories, but it's also sometimes hard to learn the steps from the game alone. It seems clear that those that are not new to Zumba can pick things up easier, than those that are brand new to it. As expected, the game can't compete with having a real Zumba instructor in front of you. That said, there's no comparing the convenience and one-time cost of buying the Zumba game for Wii and just spending more time in the privacy of your own home to figure out the moves.
There are also positive comments about the amount of features the Zumba Wii game has in terms of difficulty settings, different routines and overall options in the game. The down side to that is that sometimes it's confusing to understand all of the differences between the difficulty levels, the tutorials, the different venues to unlock and all that. People appreciated all of the stuff in the game, but that it was a bit confusing to figure out the differences sometimes.
Even though some newbies may struggle with some of the harder dance steps, the overwhelming majority of reviewes agreed that the game is a lot of fun. Those that like to dance, move their bodies and get a nice sweat going at home by burning calories to pulse-racing music would be really happy with this game.
Like other dance games that have come out before Zumba Fitness, there are sometimes issues with the motion tracking and how accurate it is. There are reports from some reviewers that when they did something well, they were penalized by the game. Other times, they would just stand there and watch and they would get rewards with points for doing the moves well. Ultimately, the reviewers seemed to have taken this in stride and said it didn't detract from the overall fun of the game.
Overall, Zumba Fitness stood out as an excellent game for the Wii and perfect for those that are interested in doing interactive Zumba workouts at home anytime they like. It may be a bit difficult to pick up for those completely new to Zumba, but there are tutorials and enough fun involved that most looked past that. The tracking accuracy and features sometimes aren't perfect, but that didn't take away from most people's ability to have a blast with the game and get a great workout.
