Yes, it’s dated but it’s still compelling enough to keep me on my exercise bike longer. I use the "slide the nunchuk down the side of your workout pants leg" method of registering steps and it’s fine for the bike, at least on the more lenient step setting.So far I’m listening to the music in the game, but I expect eventually I’ll turn the sound off and choose my own music. You can set the game so step precision doesn’t matter and just use it to incentivize you to pedal just a little longer to find that one more rainbow sphere…
If you have been ill, injured, or just have been a couch potato, this could be your ticket back to health. Get clearance from your doctor before beginning any exercise program. Lets face it, most exercise is repetitive and BORING. This at least adds enough to keep your mind active while exercising. If you already run several miles a day, this game isnt for you. If you expect to fight enemies and have things blow up, this game isnt for you. You may be reading some of the reviewers who walk several miles on their first time playing the game. You dont HAVE to start there. YOU can set very small goals for yourself. Walk 100 steps. Pause the game. Later in the day if you feel ready, try another hundred. If your a beginner at this level you may even wait and collect several days worth of steps to buy the more expensive items before you save the game. Gradually, after several days you will find that how far you walk before feeling tired will increase. There seems to be a learning curve in getting used to the controls. Its easier if your used to the controllers with Wii games. If you have no experience with Wii, it may take a few days to get comfortable with the instruction. Bear with it. Once you understand the game controls the game is easy to play. Note that walking a few steps and then pausing would also work well for busy parents, and for students taking study breaks through the day. It is not mandatory that you burn all your calories in one session only per day.Pause is your fr.
Yep it is true. I look forward to walking on the island.While this game was marketed to kids mostly and is cartoon-y looking, As an adult, I have come to love this game.I am now on my 4th tour of the island (basically I have completed the game 3 times and have started over again).When I started I was obese. I didn’t like exercise and was unmotivated.I have since lost all but about 20-30 lbs above my goal weight. Was WIO the only reason? No but it was helpful.Here’s why.I can create strategies on how I am going to get through the game.Everyday my goal is to complete the rainbow task which takes about 20-25 minutes. So I am focused on completing the task not exercising.I find myself having to get off to go to work or whatever but staying on to just finish one more item or section. Which is crazy to me b/c I have never been one to say "uhhh… just five more minutes of exercise please." WHAT? Crazeee talk!!There is also a great community of WIO fans on Facebook so it is fun to share our experiences. The WIO Facebook page offers support, hints on strategies for completing the game as well as maps etc and there are silly times when we talk about our made up stories about the characters in the game.I think this would also be a great game for kids and a parent b.c there is an option to play together. I imagine that just like reading with children leads to adults who enjoying reading that the same would be true for exercising.Anyway this would be a great gift for adults, kids.
Before I get into reviewing the game, I want to say right away I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars only because of the way the camera controls work. You need to move the Wiimote in the opposite direction of where you want to look (point up to look down, swing left to look right); this is very difficult to control, especially when walking in place. If the camera actually moved in the direction you pointed (the way the cursor does when clicking) I’d have rated this 5 stars without question.I will not take up space describing how the game works–plenty of people before me have done a fantastic job explaining the various ins and outs of the game. Instead, I will tell you how this game, more than anything else, has gotten both my wife and I up on our feet and not only exercising, but looking forward to it, and even playing longer than planned. We hate exercise, and it shows. Walk It Out, however, makes us want to work out, and this game is a work out if you select all the “fast” songs in the list. I find I almost forget I am actually being physically active because I am so focused on looking for specific things or amassing enough to purchase an item. There is no way I can say that about any other exercise I’ve tried. I want to do this, I make sure I have time in my day to play this game–I never did this for exercise plans!Just this morning I started up the game for a quick 20-minute session; an hour later, I had to scramble to get ready for work. How many of you can say you were alm.
Great game if you are needing a way to get a walking workout when the weather is lousy outside (and even when the weather is nice but want more of a workout than a leisurely walk). The more up beat songs on this will have you jogging in place and really get your heart pumping. Its also fun to explore the virtual island, and to spend your steps earned to help bring the island to life (clicking on places adds in cars, plants, buildings, bridges, etc). As you also walk, you will find more parts of songs that then get added to the collection. As you add more, you can then customize the songs that you want or don’t want during your walks (I’ve started getting rid of the slower songs as I find the pace on those much too slow for me). And for those curious, this does work fine on a Wii-U. I use the Wiimote and Nunchuck, but it also will work with the balance board and a Wii dance pad. For me, this is by far one of the best workout games.
If you are looking for a low impact walking exercise, this fits the bill. I got it yesterday and did it right away and again this morning. I was somewhat confused the first time but I got the hang of it this morning. I don’t understand why the publishers don’t put out better instructions. If they don’t want to incur the printing cost they could always point us to a web site. I got a good walk in and the time sped by.EDIT UPDATE: Konami has a full manual on their web site The game starts with creating a profile. Your character will look nothing like you. You pick male or female but they look pretty much the same. You can change hair color, skin color and clothing color. It asks your age, height and weight but it doesn’t change your avatar. No big deal. The program makes you confirm each entry several times which would be annoying except that you only have to create a profile once.I have tried all 3 methods of walking: Wii remote and nunchuk, Balance Board, DDR Mat. I like the mat the best even though they all worked. The remote and nunchuk seemed to occasionally miss my movement. The balance board is a hard surface and does not work with the whack-a-mole game (1 of 3 games). I started using a mat from the Wii Outdoor Challenge game which I liked because it had 2 rows where buttons were next to each other but I switched to a DDR mat when the Outdoor Challenge mat wouldn’t work with whack-a-mole. I walked on the top row of buttons.Here’s the premise of the game. You start b.
Don’t be fooled by the cover graphics showing kids. This great game is probably more suitable for the "older generation" than for kids (who could likely find it boring). It’ll get you walking when the weather is too bad to enjoy going outdoors (or when it’s too dark when you get home from work). I struggled a bit at first when I thought I had to click on all the icons goodies the minute I saw them (thinking if I didn’t get them fast, that I’d never have a chance again) . I was clicking so much and so fast that I was too busy too even notice what a click on an icon actually did. Then with the help of a web tutorial, I learned to just build up the points you get for each "with-the-beat" step and casually hover over an icon until you find one representing something you’d like to "purchase" with your built up points—then click on it and a item to build your city pops up. Building up my "piggy-bank" to be able to purchase a bridge, and then hunting down the icon for the bridge purchase resulted in tallying 4000 steps in what felt like no time at all. I have to admit that I even enjoy some of the hip-hop tunes now—–they sure do keep you on the beat to rack up those points![Hint: in settings, turn off "deduct a point for each off-the-beat step" (at least until you are no longer a newbie), or you’ll have a hard time getting enough points to buy anything.]I play with my balance board, and it’s worked out well…….I play with my bal.
I have always enjoyed DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) but wanted to find something lower impact. I tried “Outdoor Challenge” and “Wii Active” but as great as they are, they weren’t right for me. I wanted something pretty mindless that did not involve a lot of thinking or jumping around trying to keep a nunchuck strapped to my thigh. Happily I found it with “Walk It Out”.Walking is a great exercise and nothing beats a brisk walk outside. But “Walk It Out” offers great indoor entertainment and a fun way to change up your steps. It is walking on steroids. You get to walk along at a steady pace (you can set the difficulty) but it stays interesting as you uncover surprises. The game boasts over 120 songs that get your heart rate up including tunes by The Black Eyed Peas and Jesse McCartney. You can also select and edit playlists.If you enjoy indoor walking tapes such as Leslie Sansone’s you will probably love “Walk It Out”. Once you get the hang of the control, there is lots to discover on the Island and the music keeps you grooving. Plus it is fun!”Walk It Out” can be played by shifting your weight on the Wii Balance Board, using any of the buttons on the DanceDanceRevolution Controller pad or with a Nunchuck. Slipping the Nunchuck over your pants or in your pocket tracks your steps, keeps the game simple and allows for a wide variety of movement. With the Nunchuck you can also wear supportive footwear which you can’t with the DDR Controller pad. The record section of the game keeps.
Love this game. While I admit, I still have a long ways to go before I have the body of Brad Pitt I love that I can watch TV and still do this game. I usually watch DVD’s of my fave shows either LAW & ORDER or WILL & GRACE and before I know it the time just flies by. The only reason I give it 4 out 5 stars was because you need to attach the nunchuk and put it in your pocket, and sometimes the game tells me, "No nunchuk located" or something along those lines. Wii Fit Plus also has a running program, and while it only requires the Wii Fit Balance board and Wii Remote, it only lets you go for 30 mins. I like that with this I can go for miles and hrs. literally. Plus, I don’t have to worry about weight capacity, storage space or shelling out $600-$800, if I bought a treadmill.
I purchased this in 2010. Over the past 10 years I have used it more than any other workout device I’ve ever owned. It’s just walking in place to music but as you walk, you earn chips to erect buildings, buy cars, plant trees, etc. – sort of like if SIM City made you walk and sweat. I went through a few stretches where I didn’t play this for a year or two but I kept coming back to it as I aged and had to start eliminating some of my more strenuous exercising. I picked it back up about a half year ago and now spend about 45-60 minutes every morning on it; once you get going on this, you lose track of time. I can’t run any more and my orthoepedic doc doesn’t want me walking on a treadmill. But this doesn’t hurt my knees at all (I use a Wii board). Yes, after all these years I’m a bit tired of the songs (and that Missy Elliott one is just nasty – I’m not a prude but I can’t believe it’s on a family Wii game) but some of the tunes are catchy, even if this game is the only place where you’ll hear most of them. You can discard songs that have a BPM rate that’s too fast or too slow for you. It takes me about 25 days at very easy quarter steps to complete all three islands – that’s about 66 miles of walking for me. As geeky as it sounds, I even did up a Word doc log to track my progress. The only fault I have with it is when it says you’ve done 10,000 steps, it’s actually only about half of that on my Fitbit. But now that you know that, it’s not an issue, right? I know t.
