A Review of the Zumba Fitness Game for the Wii

By Shawn Gruvland


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 main thing that comes up with some reviews is that it isn't easy to pick up the more intricate dance moves that Zumba encompasses. Many users that also have attended Zumba dance classes in a studio say that it's easier to learn complicated moves in a class because you can get feedback from an instructor. Others noted that the Zumba Wii game is a great way to get started, even though sometimes not as easy to learn the steps, because you're in the comfort of your own home and there's no intimidation of showing up at a public class.

Zumba Fitness comes with a variety of different difficulty levels to match the skill level of the player. It also features different venues that you can unlock, where you do your dancing. There are also tutorial modes and other features that all in all have prompted some reviewers to say that it all gets a little confusing sometimes.

Of course this game is all about the gameplay and what people are looking for from it and that is moving your body, having a good time and getting great exercise. The consensus on this is extremely favorable in the reviews that Zumba Wii achieves this easily.

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.

Zumba Fitness for the Wii has been a huge success ever since its release. It does have some issues that are minor for most reviewers, including accuracy in tracking your movements, difficulty in learning the dance moves without an instructor and overall confusion associated with lots of features and different modes. Those issues were way overshadowed by the main premise of the game to get you to dance to hot music, move your body & burn calories and have a great time in your living room.
