I bought this thinking it was like the DVD's and would teach the steps then track the fitness level. If you already knew the Zumba steps then it's good, if you're wanting to learn them, it will take a while. Even without the belt, I was able to put the Wii controller in my pocket and it worked fine. Not a bad Wii purchase, especially for what I paid for it... Just not what I expected. All in all it's good, just wouldn't say great. The dance instructor is more of an outline of a person, can't "see" the person and specific movements are sometimes a little hard to follow if you don't know the steps. Seller was great, no problem there at all. Product was "as described", I just wished I'd researched it a bit better. I will say that the music on this Wii Zumba fitness game is pretty good and has an easy rythmn to follow. I will say that after only a few minutes of trying to keep up, I felt like I had a cardio workout and was sweating! It was worth giving it a try...Read full review
This game has a lot of potential and I have to admit that I haven't had a lot of time to use it. I enjoy Zumba class and looked forward to having the option of doing it at home. The routines go really fast, so I tried starting in the tutorial section, but I found that the remote was way too sensitive. Any movement I made caused the instruction to jump ahead as if I had mastered the step. I had to set the remote down in order to have time to practice the parts of the routine and then pick it up and give it a little shake when I was ready to move on. Also, the belt that holds the remote is super huge and the pocket requires that you take the remote out of its protective covering, which I don't like to do repeatedly for fear it will wear out. Other than that, I got exactly what I expected and look forward to a lot of fun use of this game.Read full review
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this game. I use it in conjunction with Just Dance 2 for my cardio. There's even a workout mode option that starts at beginner and arranges a schedule for you. You can also just do individual songs. I highly recommend doing the tutorials before trying workouts/dance routines. Even if (like me) you've done real Zumba classes, the tutorials help you get used to how the game looks for each dance, predicting what's coming next, etc. The belt is great - no more worrying about the remote flying out of your hand! I'm overweight and can wrap it near to the tightest fit, so it will certainly fit all body types. Definitely very happy with this product, the results I'm already seeing, and the overall value of the game!
I wanted to buy Zumba fitness because I had just gotten a Wii for xmas and because I am unashamedly addicted to zumba classes. I would say that this program does provide a workout that compares favourably to a zumba class at the gym. It is fun and gives you an adequate workout. There is enough variety and enough of a challenge to hold the attention of more experienced users and I do believe it offers enough of an introduction to zumba that would allow the novice to find his/her own level of expertise. The program provides feedback to let you know how close your movements are to those on the screen. My only complaint is that I find the dancers on the screen are a bit difficult to relate to since they do not at all look like people but like colourful shadows or figures. This results in a decrease in my interest over time.Read full review
Never tried zumba before and dislike current wii dance games without mat but I really like this. Good workout and love the calendar function so I can see when I last exercised and at what intensity level. Fun to play with multiple people at once too!
