You might write this one off as shovelware by the box art, but beyond the cover lies a pretty solid minigame collection using a DDR pad* and the wiimote to clear a varied amount of levels and minigame-tower style mode that get your body moving (favs being the Minecart, Whack a Mole and the Tube Slide game). Some of the minigames are throwaways/bad and you can cheat it the same way you cheated NES Track and Field two decades before, but Active Life: Outdoor Challenge at least succeeded in its goal of tricking me and my siblings into exercising back in the day.
