News Family Trainer - The Next Wii Craze You Won't Be Able To Avoid
Looks a bit like a dance mat to us, but what do we know?
Namco Bandai has released promotional shots for the latest 'must have' Wii item. To our untrained eyes it looks more than a little like a traditional dance mat, a revolutionary accessory that first saw the light of day back in the Playstation era. Here's the scoop from Kotaku: Taking a page...
About The Game
Family Trainer lets all the family and friends get physical by engaging the whole body in a variety of easy-to-understand, fast-paced and wildly entertaining activities.
The game includes the specially designed Family Trainer mat controller which, when combined with the Wii Remote, lets players get totally physical in a series of crazed challenges. Unlike other games for the Wii which only focus on the arms, Family Trainer gets the feet involved too for total body gameplay. Simple controls and intuitive play make the game easy to just pick up and play, and let players of any age get involved, get physical and have maximum fun.
There are over a dozen frantic single and multiplayer challenges to choose from all based on outdoor challenges amusingly interpreted for the world of Family Trainer, such as river rafting, mine karting, log jumping, rope skipping and much more. The activities take place in a variety of colourful locations including jungle forests full of ancient ruins, a haunted mansion complete with hordes of zombies, and a fairytale world where riding on toys and floating amongst the clouds is the order of the day.
Players can challenge friends or family members on the same mat, or cooperate together, for example trying to balance a runaway mine kart as it hurtles round a gravity defying track. Players can track their progress and set new records for their friends and family to beat, bringing a dose of healthy competition into the madcap mix.

I'd only get this if I ever saw it really cheap. Some of the mini-games look kinda fun though.
The game IS a lot of fun, yes
Some of the control reponses are imprecise and the mat occassionally bunches up, but besides that, its cool. It has a rowing game that looks very dated now that Wii Sports Resort rowing has arrived, though.
I orderd it a few months before release for about £32, which made it worth it imho
I'm trying to get hold of the software only version of Extreme challenge which was listed all over the place when the game first came out. The listings have all disappeared now.
