not as good as the first my fitness coach game September 3, 2010

My Fitness Coach 2 isn't as good as the first one. Although they have incorporated the wii balance board in this one, the first one is still the best one if you want to keep track of how many calories you burn and choose wich part of the body you want to work out. also the first one keeps steady track of how much work out time you have left this one does not.

I bought this game thinking that it would be an extension of the first, with new exercises and tips, but found that is entirely a new game altogether. I love the original game because it does not require me to use controllers, this one does and it does not register your movements as quickly as it needs to. I plan on keeping the game, and will use it occasionally to add variety to my routine; but would not recommend it as a primary fitness game.

I really wish it included some of the features from My Fitness Coach (1), such as the ability to include different excercise equipment, but it is still a worthwhile addition.
Total Waste of Money! July 25, 2010

I LOVED MFC1 and actually lost 50 pounds using it and counting calories. I couldn't wait to buy the new version, and I can't believe how bad it is. I used it once and I will never use it again. The graphics are cheesy, and the work outs are pathetic. It's like that took everything that was wrong with WiiFit (original) and copied it!
A game with good potential ultimately marred by very poor marketing May 26, 2010

As some reviewers have noted, My Fitness Coach 2 has absolutely nothing in common with My Fitness Coach other than the name. Here's why.
br /
br /The original My Fitness Coach was developed by a company called Respondesign (who had created the original version, called Yourself!Fitness for the Playstation 2). It was a runaway hit on the Wii. Granted, it was little more than a glorified exercise video (the exercises consisted mainly of calisthenics, with no usage of the Wii's unique controllers). But you could definitely get a great cardio workout from it.
br /
br /In the meantime, in the UK, there was another completely different fitness game called NewU Fitness First: Personal Trainer, developed by another company called Lightning Fish Games. It was a very different kind of title. My Fitness Coach featured long 15-30 minute cardio workouts, while NewU had much shorter sub-10 minute workouts. My Fitness Coach had a personal trainer that gave you a fitness test and seemed to personalize your workout for you based on your goals; New U had a limited set of prepared workouts. My Fitness Coach had over 500 unique exercises, NewU had about 80.
br /
br /Perhaps in an attempt to cash in on the success of My Fitness Coach, Ubisoft simply renamed NewU to My Fitness Coach 2 and released it in the US market. Unfortunately, they completely failed to understand nor acknowledge that the over 1.8 million fans of the original My Fitness Coach liked the original for a reason, and wouldn't take too kindly to them slapping a "sequel" moniker on a new game that bore no resemblance to it.
br /
br /It's a shame, because the NewU Fitness First game itself is not too bad when evaluated on its own merits (as opposed to being in the shadow of the My Fitness Coach). If you need short 10-minute workouts throughout your day, whether early in the morning, at a lunch break, or before bed, it provides a pretty decent workout.
br /
br /Also, it does use the Wii remote and balance board and is mostly accurate. As with most other Wii games not developed by EA Sports or Nintendo, there are times where the motion controls are sketchy, but at the end of the day it's far superior to the atrocious motion controls of games like Jillian Michaels 2010 or Your Shape.
br /
br /It also includes recipes and lifestyle tips (which mostly contained nutritional facts about foods). The recipes looked interesting but at the end of the day were pretty useless, as most of us don't have a Wii in the kitchen. Plus, they totally failed to convert some of the instructions for an American audience (I have no idea what 200C/Gas Mark 6 means).
br /
br /Its "Challenges" section is, in my opinion, the best part of the game. There are five options: Dance, Cardio Test, Army, Boxing, and Baseball. It's a little misleading at first, because I was expecting to do dance movements under Dance, baseball simulation under Baseball, etc. But what it really means is that it'll do basic workout routines to exercise the muscles and build the stamina that a dancer, a trainer doing cardio work, someone in the Army, a boxer, or a baseball player would need. And unlike the short and simplistic exercises in the regular workout parts of the game, these challenges really make your heart pump and last a good long time for meaningful toning, muscle gain, and weight loss.
br /
br /As a fan of the original My Fitness Coach, I have to say I'm as disappointed with this game as everyone else (or more precisely, with Ubisoft insulting our intelligence by calling a completely different game a sequel to the first). But on the merits of the game itself, I'll give it three stars--it's certainly not the best out there, but as another reviewer said it provides a decent alternative if you want to add a little variety to your Wii exercise routine.
