Combining the motion sensing Wii Remote with a custom mat controller, this game lets players use their whole body to participate in more than 10 fun and unique activities and multiplayer challenges.

Building upon the Wii Remote's unique attributes, Outdoor Life introduces a custom mat controller that lets players manipulate the on-screen action with a combination of hand gestures and movements with their feet across the mat's eight sensor pads. From rowing and dodging obstacles on a white-water rafting expedition to clearing an obstacle course, each of the game's more than 10 activities features a unique control scheme designed to provide an active and fun gameplay experience.

I was going through a retail store when I saw this (I can prolly even find the cell phone picture I took of the packaging...)

IN MY OPINION...This is possibly one of the stupidest ideas nintendo could have allows on their system.

I haven't played this...and prolly never will (I wont rent it, and I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna buy it. So if I HAPPEN to run into someone who owns it and they let me borrow it...MAYBE...

my question is...WHY NOT JUST GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY rather than play this game?!?!?!

I'm sure it's fun...but dude...go outside!

There's your out door challenge! Turn the TV OFF and go outside!

I have to agree with you on this. But people will buy it instead of going outside.

You see.....Id rather play it that go outside . It looks kinda fun . I'm a lost cause when it comes to exercise and getting fresh air, Im a hermit crab with a controller in my claw, its as simple as that but, I do feel that Nintendo are totally destroying their "gaming that is good for you motto" that theyve built up with Wii Sports, Wii Fit etc with a title like this. Don't they think about these things in advance? .
