Are Wii ready for their Outdoor Challenge?
Nintendo is releasing a new Wii game, Active Life Outdoor Challenge on Sept 9, 2008. The retail price for this game and mat is said to be $60.
Compared to Wii Fit, Active Life allows players to compete or compliment each othe at the same time. Active Life uses an 8-point foot pad that comes with the game and the Wii controller. The Active Life pad seems similar to the Dance Dance Revolution pads. Impressions from the people at Gamespot include:
For those who are exercise enthusiasts, the game actually categorizes its many minigames into “exercise sets” that you can access from a menu. There’s even a tracking feature that somehow records your prowess at various activities, so if you’d like to incorporate hopping over virtual logs into your fitness regime, this is technically possible. The game’s modes have easy, intermediate, and advanced intensity settings so you can control how much flailing around your living room you’ll be doing.
I am looking forward to trying out this new game as it attemps to keep us moving and off the couch!
