Fun game and a great workout
I have not been able to motivate myself to workout even after I purchased a 2-year gym membership. This game is so fun that I do it almost everyday. It was hard to get the timing right at first, but after some adjusting, it worked just fine. I really enjoy the music and the different dance moves. I also have the Dancing With The Stars Wii game; but that one is not user friendly and the music isn't as fun as this one.

we cheer
my grandchild, two daughters 34 & 21 and myself we just had so much fun trying and I do mean trying to keep up with the cheers in the we cheer wii game. We are ordering the pom poms for use with the game.

Great fun, nice aerobic exercise!
I'm a male at my 30.
I use my Wii mainly as an exercising tool.
After establishing a good routine of exercise on Wii Fit, I found that aerobic exercises on Wii Fit sometimes are not intense enough for me.

In other words, they cannot efficiently pump up my heart rate during the exercises now.
I tried the pc version of "My fitness coach" (Yourself fitness!), and found it very helpful.
I get get an consistent workout with heart rate around 135-145 there.

Then I bought We Cheer after reading some praises on Amazon before Christmas.
I have to say this is a GREAT FUN!!
I did spend couple days to past first two or three songs.
After that, I suddenly found the way to pass songs, and now I've passed all songs in normal level.

More importantly, I found this is actually a very good exercise.
I got a consistent heart rate reading of 135-140 from my heart rate monitor when I played.
The result is more surprising considering the fact that I didn't really follow each movement from the screen but follow the upper body movements only.
This means We Cheer is a decent low impact aerobic exercise.

Of course We Cheer is not a game which is designed for work out, you may want some other games like Wii Fit or My fitness coach for more balanced exercises.

But I think We Cheer is really a great game for those who have or just start to have a work out routine.
You can play We Cheer outside your routine and still get a good quality low impact workout.
Not to mention this game is a real FUN!!

For those who just started playing this game and found it a little bit challenging, my suggestion is make you overall movement fluent enough so you are not matching the lines one by one.

The sensor sometimes doesn't really pickup the difference between right hand and left hand, so it is ok to use the wrong hand if you find yourself cannot keep up with the tempo.
In other words, just keep you arms and body moving all the way through the song, you may pick up some lucky points and have better body memory through the process.
