Active Life Outdoor Challenge

Active Life Outdoor Challenge Review

I echo a lot of the positive feedback you’ve likely read here so I won’t repeat it except to say I was pleasantly surprised at how much of a workout this gave me. I enjoy the other Wii fitness offerings and bought this one as a family game, not for fitness, so that was a bonus.

The only problem I’ve found so far is that when playing in multi-player you can have two people on one mat. (Not sure how you play with more than two people.) Two kids, like they show in the promo photos, works fine but one adult and a child doesn’t, let alone two adults. Just not enough room to really get moving. My 12-yr-old son and I played tonight and kept bumping into each other during the pole jumping in multi-player mode. We then went to single player and just took turns. Other than that, this really is fun and some of it is pretty challenging.
