Wii fitness games

[ArcticChicken]

So I'm looking into getting some kind of fitness game for my Wii. I've tried Wii fit and don't enjoy it. I like to dance, so I'm looking into that, but I'm also willing to look into other fitness games, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations.

Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party 2 is really good, imo (there's also the original, but we only have the sequel.) It comes with one dance pad that plugs into the Wii that you dance on. It's pretty easy to learn and all the songs have 4 difficulty levels so you can start easy and increase the difficulty as you get better. There's also a Workout Mode where you input your weight/height/age (I think) and then it keeps track of approx. how many calories you burn per song. You can play it with just the dance pad, or with the dance pad and the Wiimote/nun-chucks simultaneously to get your arms moving.

Edit: Sorry, we actually have Hottest Party 3...I think they're all pretty similar, aside from the track list, so it mostly just depends on what songs you like.

Just dance 2 is fun and has a workout mode.

I don't like the newer DDR's (not a big fan of current dance music) so I'd recommend Extreme and Extreme 2. Or the Maxes.

There's also a number of other games for the Wii, like yoga games or EA Active. It's all kinda up to your tastes. I'd say get your games from GameStop and try to work out exchanges while you figure out your preferences.
