Amazon.com Product Description
Walk it Out! provides gamers on the Wii platform with a unique way to explore an inviting and entertaining gameworld, while staying active and social. Containing both local single player and multiplayer options, and supporting the DanceDanceRevolution (DDR) controller for Wii, the Wii Remote/Nunchuk configuration or Wii Balance Board, players walk to the rhythm of an in-game soundtrack, as well as take on a series of mini-games. With continued success the gameworld expands with new physical elements, as well as additional songs by popular artists which together keep the fun coming and players moving as they discover new challenges with each step they take.  Walk your way to fun and fitness using your controller of choice. View larger. |  Two-player local support. View larger. |  AI companion stat and calorie tracking. View larger. |  Your choice of three mini-games. View larger. | Gameplay Walk It Out! is a unique blend of simulation, action, rhythm and exercise gameplay. The game's main campaign, known as Stepping Mode, exists in an area known as "Rhythm Island", can be played in single player or local two-player simultaneous and challenges players to explore a gameworld that grows with every literal step taken through it. These steps are patterned after the rhythm of the songs of the in-game soundtrack, which are tapped/stepped out using the game controllers supported. These include the Wii Remote/Nunchuk, the Wii Balance Board and the DDR controller for Wii. Tracks are of various speed and tempo, which the player can alter through difficulty settings. The game features a moving indicator line, known as the "Stepping Guide" that helps players keep in tune with the beat, and the displaying of lyrics, which for some can be helpful in keeping in time, can also be suspended as the player chooses. As players walk in synch they are rewarded with in-game chips, depending on their level of accuracy. These chips can in turn be used to unlock "Event Capsules", which hold a variety of elements ranging from new songs, new paths through the gameworld and physical environmental features like zodiac constellations and rainbows. The unlocking/purchasing of events can happen as the user pauses the action to do so, or can be cued to happen as the required chips are collected. Additional features include: character customization and Mii support, your choice of a male or female AI companion, in-game song set lists, map functionality and varied camera controls for improved Event Capsule searching. Mini-Games Along with moving through the main campaign found within the Walk It Out! Stepping Mode, players also have the option to take a break and play a range of entertaining mini-games, some of which involve walking and some not. These include: Whack-A-Slack! A take off on the iconic game Whack-A-Mole, here players try to hit as many of the "Slackie" creatures as possible with an in-game mallet, within the parameters chosen for the game. Multiple difficulty settings are available and play is possible during a single run-through of an unlocked song or set list, or by letting the song(s) loop and play as long as you like. Psycolo Psycolo is a puzzle game in which you use your ability to walk to the beat to move a cube around a gameboard collecting hearts and avoiding Slackies, all while maintaining your on-screen health through accuracy in play. The game features 3 ways to move your cube. Smash ‘n Run! Another nod to Whack-A-Mole, Smash ‘n Run! again has players looking to drop the hammer on Slackies. The difference here is that players need the right size hammer, if not Slackies can fight back and drain your life. This game also incorporates the Wii Remote/Nunchuk controller configuration with your choice of DDR mat or Wii Balance Board controllers. Game Features - Uniquely Motivational Gameplay - Stay active and explore an in-game world where the more you move, the richer your gameworld becomes. Unlockable areas and music tracks tied to the in-game time of day ensure the discovery of new items and goodies every time you play.
- Music to Get You Going - Walk It Out! is the only fitness-focused game that keeps you in the game with great music. Move to the beat of 120 songs, including 20 licensed tracks, including masters performed by the original artists. Hits include: "Boom Boom Pow" by the Black Eyed Peas, "How Do You Sleep?" by Jesse McCartney, "La La Land" by Demi Lovato, and more.
- Track Your Achievements - Get a visual feel for how well you're doing through charts and graphs that show burned calories, distance traveled, steps taken and more.
- Wii Balance Board Compatible - Play with the peripheral of your choice, including the DanceDanceRevolution Wii controller, Wii Remote and Nunchuk or Wii Balance Board.
- Mini-game Fun - Along with exploring and unlocking the Walk It Out! gameworld, players can also engage in a series of mini-games at any time. These include: Whack-A-Slack!, Psycolo and Smash ‘n Run!.

Sadly disappointed July 29, 2010 AprilMay For months I have followed the reviews and discussions here about this game. I just knew that this was a game that I had to get. I finally was able to purchase it today and I was so excited about it. How quickly that changed. I am so disappointed...and very frustrated. After playing for a few minutes I changed the settings to where it only registered every other step, and I switched it so that I would not lose a chip for missing a step. That helped since my character on the screen takes three or four steps, stops, stands there for several seconds, takes a few more steps, stops, etc., etc., all while I am continually walking away in real life. Before I changed the settings I was constantly losing all of my chips. This, on top of the fact that it is extremely hard to click on the capsules while you are moving or to know exactly what you are doing, makes it so frustrating. I walked past colored bubbles, clock faces, and CD-looking things along with the regular capsules, and had no idea what any of them were for. I clicked on some of them and still don't know what they are for. Nothing is explained to you. The same song keeps playing over and over. What a waste. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed in a game. That's probably because I had such high hopes for this. Maybe walking in place in front of a TV trying to control an unresponsive character, clicking on capsules that seem to do nothing, all while listening to the same song over and over might be fun for some people. But it's not for me.
Fun, Low Impact Game July 28, 2010 fillygene The graphics on this game are gorgeous. The music is okay, but some of the songs are not my favorites; still, I can handle them when I focus on picking up the beat. I love clicking on the capsules and building things. This game is not challenging at all for me; however, I would highly encourage people just starting an exercise program to try it.
Getting me walking July 28, 2010 K. Willhite (Scotts, MI United States) Since many have written about what it is like, I will just give a personal anecdote. I started walking with this about two weeks ago. I have been walking every day. This is remarkable since I don't like to exercise and this is keeping me interested. I found a Walk it Out! facebook page and the support from the group is great. For those who are having difficulty getting started, go to the facebook page as one friend has given all kinds of great hints and helps on making the game worthwhile. I look forward to a sequel.
In addition, my kids are getting interested and we can walk together. Great for ways to spend quality time with tweeners!
Walk It out July 28, 2010 Mr. Dave I was looking for a game I could use to exercise that wouldn't be hard on my knees. I love this game. Having arthritis and fibromyalgia it is hard to exercise. I burned off 581 calories the third day. Time flew by. This game should be on the shelves in every store in the sports section.
This is my all time favorite for exercise. a ten plus.
I hope there is Walk It Out II July 27, 2010 RGH (Louisiana) This is the first product that has really helped me to look forward to exercise and kept me going without complaint. I walk with something to look forward to, and sometimes find it hard to stop. It takes a couple of sessions to really catch on, but since time is still flying by, what difference does that make? Learning is fun. I think this product is great. My only concern is what happens when I have completed my island???? I just have to hope that there will be a second game.
