| CrashMan said: From a purely entertainment website like IGN, an 8.0 is a good score. Remember who their audiance is, from a PURELY gaming perspective, can you expect much more than that? |
Exactly.
I have never understood why Nintendo gamers feel that reviewers need to learn how to review "casual" games, or apply a different standard to them. A very large majority of the target audience for "casual" games are not reading the review anyway and therefore it makes no sense to write reviews directed to them.
8 is a good score for the game. In fact it's a very good score. I cannot imagine why anyone could complain about Wii Fit receiving that score (unless they thought it was too high).

BMI is an awful measure of health that is almost entirely useless. It is of practically no relevance to almost anyone who is healthy and in reasonably good shape. It is worth noting that I can say this whilst completely disregarding the likes of athletes.
BMI is quite simply a superficial measure of health, it unambigiously fails to analysis the complexity of issues that make up ones health. In gaming terms it would be like measuring a games greatness by its back cover without ever checking its content by playing. In short, it's quite stupid.
