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!
