Police 911
Sensors in an overhead rail determine where your head and shoulders are so the game can adjust the point of view of the character accordingly. Thus, it's a shooting game where you can physically dodge behind cover. Crouch behind an onscreen railing, pop up to get off a few shots at the bad guys, then crouch again. Shift your bodyweight right or left to get behind cover of a nearby wall or to reveal the perfect headshot.
Due to all the crouching, this game is an excellent leg exercise. You're essentially doing squats a significant fraction of the time. When not squatting, the standing and shifting weight right and left is nice for balance and flexibility as well as exercising other leg muscles.
Upshot: It won't burn as many calories as DDR, but Police 911 is uniquely well designed to strengthen the quadriceps.
Konami attempted a PS2 port in 2001 using a custom sensor but the project was cancelled prior to release; there is no home version of this game currently available.

I LOVE this game. God, I get such a great workout from it. My body aches but it's the good type of aching.
I'm also fond of Konami's boxing and samurai ones
