Another balance game, snowboarding, has you reposition the Balance Board lengthwise to mimic the stance of being strapped into a snowboard. Leaning forward and backward affects your speed, while doing so to the left or right allows you to turn. The goal is to weave past flags on the way down the slope to the finish line. Ski Slalom takes a similar approach, strapping you into a pair of skis and sliding you down the mountain side through flag gates.

Without question, there are more than enough activities in Wii Fit. to keep you occupied for weeks. Whether you're going to feel compelled to actually continue playing for weeks on end is questionable. The Balance Board promises a unique interactive experience, but as a method of control it's rudimentary at best. Sharing the appeal of Brain Age, Wii Fit. also shares the same simplicity. While the game's innovative approach is interesting, its lasting appeal is still as of yet to be determined. Look for it to hit its intended late May release date.
