Personal Trainer: Walking

Although some might turn their nose up at Walk With Me! and what it sets out to do, if you're looking for a useful keep-fit aid or are thrilled by cleverly-presented data, there's no doubt this is a worthy investment.

We must understand this as an utility, not a videogame. It is a software, with its accessory, which aims to reward our efforts with some advice in a nice and friendly style.

I have to admit that even with its slight limitations, missed opportunities, and shocking price sticker, Personal Trainer: Walking is a decent encouragement to get off the couch since your casual activity is laid out for you to see.

The games aren't terribly deep and it certainly would have been nice to have more of them, but they do offer up just enough of a fun factor to make you want to keep carrying around your Activity Meter in order to reach your daily goals.

While I'm not particularly excited by Personal Trainer: Walking, it does what it's advertised to do. I think that Nintendo could have made the product a bit more interesting given the cartridge space, and asking people to fork over $50 for this seems a little steep, considering what you get out of it.

Although it is not a title for everyone, fitness enthusiasts will get a kick out of this simple title.
