as expected

wanted the game for myself as my boyfriend has it and I wanted a set of the monitors so I could play with him. the product was new. the batteries that were included in the box were corroded, but that was to be expected as it is an old game.Read full review

It's great, but has flaws

I originally had the first EA Sports Active (known as EA Active at the time) on the Wii, and had a rather frustrating time with it. It repeatedly failed to keep track of what I was doing, so much so that in frustration (and covered in sweat) I would wave my Wiimote around, pretending I was doing something.

Thankfully EA Sports Active 2 fixed that...or at least some of it. While it's much better at tracking than it's predecessor, it still will occasionally fail to track you. Gone are the days of waving your Wiimote around like a madman, but instead you'll have to watch your movements and try not to go too fast. Or too slow. This may not sound like an improvement, but it is.
The exercises are more engaging, there's more to do, it's more accurate, and the character creation is better. I don't recall if the first game had co-op, but this one does and it's even more fun with a friend.
The equipment does it's job, and even though the sensors are rather finicky, they do seem to perform well and can even track your heart rate (relatively well).

I think EA was really on to something, but unfortunately there won't be a third. So instead I would consider purchasing this one, because it really does work. After just one session of medium intensity, my muscles were sore in all of the right places and I found myself excited to work out the next day...which is really rare for me.

So if you have the money, I would say to spring for it. Despite all of it's flaws, it's a really neat game.Read full review

Best Console Based Workout Program

It's like having a personal trainer to keep you motivated. There are a variety of activities like biking, skateboarding, basketball and soccer to keep you interested. I have had a failure of one of the monitors you wear, but for the most part it works pretty flawlessly. I recommend getting extra resistance bands of heavier weight, they will break with time.Read full review
