Active Life: Extreme Challenge – ZTGD Review

ZeroTolerance writes: Namco Bandai returns with another collection of sweat-inducing mini-games that support their plastic mat of good times. Active Life: Extreme Challenge is the second in a series of Wii exercise games that focus on getting the player to complete a host of challenges, while getting off the couch at the same time. When we reviewed the initial Active Life game I can remember being impressed by just how much fun the mini-games were, and how well the mat integrated into the experience. This time around the activities are a bit more inventive, but a severe lack of balance between controller inputs leaves you frustrated at times. The harder difficulties also continue to infuriate and hinder this title from feeling like anything less than an expansion pack.
