Good addition to my "Wii fitness Set" aka "Wii Fit and Wii DDR"
If you wanted to burn more calories go with Active Life. Unlike Wii Fit, you are required to jump and run faster (considering that you cannot jump on the balance board). DDR can only compete if you play in difficult mode.

I think this will get played more by the kids then Wii Fit.
I got the game before the kids were home from school and played the whole 2 hours till the they got home. I loved it, got all sweaty. The games are simple and more fun and active feeling then Wii Fit. Much more jumping and running and just moving your whole body. So far there seems to be enough variety to keep interest.


I really like that it is easy to change between people. We have lots of kids over of different sizes and it is so frustrating when they are taking turns and to have to change Mii's for each child's weight on Wii Fit. Active Live Outdoor Challenge is very easy just maybe 5 back buttons and choose new Mii and it's changed. Wii Fit is a pain and most times not worth the hassle. So nobodies stats are truly theirs.

Yes Wii Fit keeps track of weight and does strength exercises and yoga so it would be better for working out and keeping track of real exercise. This but this is more fun, for myself and the kids. It is not formal feeling like the Wii Fit, just body moving games. And NO LECTURING from the game.

The only problem I see is that the two players have to share the mat and they have to be pretty close. I would bet money someone in my family (the 7 yr old) will get knocked down and get all mad. But it has plenty of two player games, better then Wii Fit.

PS I have not been able to get back on the game since the kids got home. :o)

Great exercise!
I'm not a kid. In fact I'm almost 60 and I bought the game for myself after getting Wii Fit a couple weeks ago and really enjoying the games that are included with that.

I LOVE this game (or series of small games) If you want a good workout and you're a kid at heart, you're going to love Outdoor Challenge. I've only played it by myself so far but I can tell you that it works every part of your body. I was dripping with sweat after 10 minutes. Some of the games you do standing, or I should say running in place and jumping over logs or jumping on a trampoline over water or jumping rope. There's a Mine Cart game where you're leaning to the side and lifting one foot while pumping both hands up and down to propel the cart at ever faster speeds. Or sitting on the mat and rowing with the "paddle" (wiimote) trying to get to the goal as fast as you can.

Like the Wii Fit games, it keeps track of your scores and the scores of others that play so you are constantly trying to beat your best scores and get top scores in the games.

This game is too much fun to waste on kids. Get it for yourself! It'll make you laugh out loud!

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Product Description

The next chapter in the Star Wars saga, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, tells the story of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice, a mysterious figure trained by the menacing Sith Lord, to hunt down the last of the Jedi. Set in the dark times between Episodes III and IV, the story is both a continuation of the prequel trilogy -- exploring the aftermath of Order 66, which called for the immediate execution of all Jedi, and focusing on the continued rise of Darth Vader -- and a direct bridge to the Original Trilogy. The Force Unleashed will forever change the fate of the Galaxy and explain key plot points that directly lead into events in Star Wars: A New Hope. With The Force Unleashed , LucasArts not only introduces a new chapter in the Star Wars saga, but also two completely new and innovative technologies -- Digital Molecular Matter by Pixelux Entertainment and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. These groundbreaking technologies combine with Havoc physics to create true next-gen game play and the Force like it's never been seen or experienced before.

• Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility

The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics™ system, these new technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consoles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything reacts exactly like it should - wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time.


Game Features:

• During the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice.
• Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice's four core Force powers - Force push, grip, repulse and lightning - throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos.
• Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:
  • The Secret Apprentice won't just Force push enemies into walls - he'll Force push enemies through walls.
  • The Secret Apprentice won't just Force grip foes to throw them aside - he'll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
• In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader.
• Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.
• The Force Unleashed is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.
• The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioral simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.
• LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace Press.

Meet the Cast
The Star Wars Saga will continue in 2008 with LucasArts' biggest-ever video game event.

I *was* jazzed about this game
Honestly, I came here to get a price and, maybe, purchase the game based on the previews. Then I saw that the game uses one of these virus-like DRM schemes. What a shame. I guess I won't be purchasing Spore until EA pulls it's collective head out of it's nether regions and realizes people don't like to have unwanted cripplewear installed when they *purchase* a game.

DRM? You're kidding me. Way to FAIL.
Unbelievable. I came here ready to shell out $50 for the game. Literally, my credit card is on the table. If it's good, I was going to buy two more copies for my sisters whose birthdays are this month.

FORGET IT. DRM that is based on changes of certain piece of hardware is the most draconian, backwards form there is.

Dear EA: Instead of selling this game and gaining customers who would tell others about it... you've managed to do almost the exact opposite. You've alienated your fan base and created a small army of people who will warn other potential customers about the aggressive DRM.

80$ coaster
after buying the 79$ "galatic version, I dioscover that EA thinks im a thief. How could I possible have the temerity to want to intall the game on my computer..

btw: the drm broke my cd burner. I can no longer burn discs due to a "system protection error:

thanks, I needed that.. great game, fun and all that but DRM sucks and blows at the same time
