They actually had some problems with the soccer-heading game seen in the E3 demo: pushing off with the opposing foot, of course, caused the on-screen avatar to lean in the direction opposite of that intended. In the end, they were advised to lean only slightly in either direction, which "completely ruins the illusion that you're heading the ball," causing them to liken the experience to "standing on a giant D-pad."
They enjoyed other minigames much more, like a ski-jumping game and a Monkey Ball-like game in which shifting on the Balance Board tilts an onscreen board, with the goal of rolling balls into holes.
Overall, CVG had a very positive experience with Wii Fit, going so far as to say "we're certain this is going to be the next Wii Sports - a fantastic party game and one that will have everyone jumping in for a go." Check out their full post and their video, and decide for yourself if you think standing will be the new waggling.

Screw Wii-Fit, I'll buy it for my parents but I won't touch it myself. Personally I'm waiting for some real games to use the balance board but until then, I'll be content with getting fit the normal way.

I think Wii Fit is going to be a big hit as Wii Sports.
Very smart of Nintendo releasing this early next year when everyone New Year resolution will be to lose weight.

As fanboys, why do you use the word "waggle". I hate that word.
Wii Fit is going to rock! I can't wait for it.
