Wow.. I'm pretty shocked both at how much fun I'm having with this game, and how much it actually makes me break a sweat. As I expected, this is a very linear and basic game, qualities on usually not too keen on - but anytime you can make an exercise even moderately fun and interesting, it's super impressive and admirable in my book. I do sort of wish there was a bit more freedom of exploration, customization/upgrades, and a real difference in the strength applied to the ring translating to the strength of your attacks against enemies, but overall I'm enjoying it. The level of nuance in the motion controls/movement recognition is impressive and the feeling of tactility when walloping the monsters makes those typically grueling reps a ton more satisfying.
My only concern is beating the game relatively quickly as I've only logged a few hours of workouts and I'm already done with world 2. Though I suppose I can always go back and replay the game on "Extreme" difficulty (currently playing on the third tier difficulty which I think is called Intense). And I've still barely played the separate minigames and can always resort to just jumping into the "quick play" options which you just get right down to the reps. |
The game has 20 worlds, and they get considerably longer as you go on. I've put in about 8 hours of movement time and I just finished world 10. Hoping there's a new game plus deal or some DLC.
You'll also unlock a skill tree a bit later on, and some other abilities that give you some more freedom to customize your workout.

Exactly this. Plus the earliest worlds are more introductory than anything. World 5, for example, is probably around as long as World 1-4 combined.
And the worlds do get less linear as the game progresses. Not to mention there's no linearity in the other game modes, it's a straight-up succession from Wii Fit, but the Adventure Mode is indeed the main attraction.
Without saying much more, as you go through the Adventure Mode, the complexity of everything ramps up. There's also a lot more diversity.
Anyway, has anyone been doing the bonus exercising outside of game?
