First off, there really is no controler needed. Nada. Don't even bother plugging it in. Everything is handled on-screen via buttons you control by "touching" them.
Secondly, make sure you have a good light. We found that an overhead ceiling fan light worked better then a standing lamp.
Then, load up a game and be silly. Really, it's as easy as that.
The games are a good mix. The collective favorites were "Kung Foo" (where you have to bash the ninjas and evil monkies who are bent on your destruction. A GREAT way to be silly, make goofy kung-foo moves and kick their butts. Very satisfying.), the fireworks one (wow...pretty...and what a neat feeling of actually interfacing and controling something. it feels like half conducting something and half computer interface a la "minority report") and the window washer (here's a trick: jump up and down to use your body to help wash the windows!) where, as someone else said, you really DO work up a sweat. (It's the longest two minutes of your life!)
All the games though are fun and pretty diverse, though not all of the twelve are quite as replayable or enjoyable, it's a well-rounded collection.
This product and it's mini-games are like a cross between DDR and Para-Para. ;) It will definately appeal to those who enjoy that type of game and makes and EXCELLENT party game. (Especially when you get a new high score and you get your pic taken for your victory pose)
Some of the other things are neat too. You can record video clips and save them on the memory card (full motion complete with sound, although the built-in mic is pretty crappy). You can also just have the camera on with your choice of special effect for the times you want to just goof off but not actually play anything.
Kids will love it and you can even get your mom to join in. It's really utterly simple and there's no actual skill required. Just be careful you don't end up playing so long you're arms get sore the next day like we did!
