August 18, 2009 - Mediocre - From a game design standpoint, Extreme Challenge isn't bad, it just feels lazy; it's a collection of shallow minigames of variable quality that grow progressively more repetitive with time.

September 1, 2009 - Mediocre - Despite having tons of potential and a few very bright ideas, it's impossible to fully recommend this game. Go with the infinitely superior EA Sports Active for a real workout - or perhaps Wii Fit if you'd like to play with the kiddies.

September 2, 2009 - Mediocre - Aside from the repetitive sports, the whole thing feels cheap. Jaunty locations look like low-budget Saturday morning cartoons, while the menu screen elevator music is totally at odds with the supposedly 'urban' theme.

September 4, 2009 - Mediocre - [Active Life] isn't terrible, it's just not near as exciting as it ought to be, given the subject matter. It's not even all that active. The game could have benefitted immensely from a few more games, varied controls, or some Wii Balance Board support.

September 8, 2009 - Mediocre - If I had to place an age range on the game, I'd say it would be excellent for the 4- to 12-year-old demographic. The game is eye-catching and will certainly get you moving around, but the lack of longevity and the general wearing of the novelty will make this game very short-lived for anyone else.
