Gold's Gym Cardio Workout
SCORE: 69
After we played and enjoyed the Gold's Gym
Dance Workout video game I thought it would be good to purchase and play
Gold's Gym Cardio Workout on the Wii. This game turned out to be a major
disappointment. Why is boxing the only thing in Gold's Gym Cardio
Workout? Can't we do cardio outside of boxing? Shouldn't Gold's Gym
Cardio Workout be called Gold's Gym Boxing Workout instead? It would fit
the content a whole lot better.
The controls do not always register properly in Gold's Gym Cardio
Workout. I would do something in terms of a boxing motion with the two
Wii Remotes and Gold's Gym Cardio Workout did not register my movement.
It was frustrating whenever this happened. Especially when I was enroute
to a complete and total perfect score. I gave up on accurate results
from Gold's Gym Cardio Workout.
The length of many of the sessions are too long and too similar in my
opinion. Gold's Gym Cardio Workout has Wii Balance Board compatibility.
I did not check that out though. I found myself falling asleep while
doing some of the routines in Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. Something about
the pacing, and sounds put me to sleep. I found it difficult to stay
mentally engaged while playing Gold's Gym Cardio Workout on the Wii.
I play a variety of dance and exercise video games. Many of them impress
me in a variety of ways. Gold's Gym Cardio Workout did not. In fact I
see this exercise game as on the lower end of all the exercise video
games. If you want to do boxing exercise then you should check out
Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. We did videos this Wii game
here if you are interested in this game.
The instructors directions are usually clear. At times they may say one
thing and a slightly different motion and/or image will work. Gold's Gym
Cardio Workout helped me stay in shape. I feel like my money was wasted
on Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. Hopefully you can save money thanks to
this review. Gold's Gym Cardio Workout reminds me that the industry
needs more exercise video games.
