Great idea, poor delivery

User Rating: 2 | My Weight Loss Coach DS
This game provides a few idea's to help someone get moving and start focusing on weight loss. However, the menu options are limiting leaving the user stuck with having to guess what food options most likely match what they are eating. Additionally, their is nothing in the game that helps you learn what types of foods are best to eat. Everything is based on calories taken in vs. calories burned.

The pedometer, works great at first but then I found that it stopped counting my steps accurately. I had taken good care of it but, the accuracy suffered resulting in de-motivation. When trying to lose or manage ones weight it is important to stay motivated. When the pedometer failed it made the game useless.

Overall, the graphics were fun and entertaining, the concept is great but, the game needs to be enhanced before it is an effective game.
