EA Sports Active 2 (Wii, 2010)

I bought this product to use my Wii for daily exercises and bring some kind of fun into my exercises.
The variety of the exercises are great. Starting from basics to specific, themed exercises such as boxing, soccer or basketball. The best is boxing -I really recommend it. If you feel that it is not tough enough repeat them several times and combine with some upper body exercises. If you are looking for real challenge, buy some dumbbells (0.5kg to 1.5kg) or wrist-weight and punch using them.

The game has several built in exercise plans prompting you to be active more or less every day.
Regarding the sensor: the arm end leg sensor are working very well. The arm sensor includes a heart rate monitor giving more accurate calorie burn figures and feedback how intense is your exercise.

A minor disadvantage, which probably applies for all the Wii games, the graphic is not comparable to the fitness games available on the platforms of the competitors.

Regarding the price, it cost way less than one month membership fee at a gym, so you cannot loose much.

This game is an excellent addition to anyone's workout routine. This game allows you to work out in various time segments, so no matter how busy you get you can fit time into work out. The arm band that runs as a heart rate monitor is extremely incredible and accurate, as is the leg band both are very comfortable. The game play is realistic and also allows you to create your own character (complete with hair style, and clothing choices). The exercises range from strenuous to comfortable which can be very appealing to those starting out like myself. The graphics/motions for the activities are useful and after the work out you can feel the burn. With unique features like online play/tracking and a fitness journal it is no wonder this game is out of this world. Comparitively to games like the WII FIT and other work out games this game is by far the best. It is the best because it pushes you to the limit, works out various muscles and allows you to keep track of your fitness progress/goals in a fun easy to use set up. Did I mention its also affordable?! GO GET IT THIS IS THE BEST FITNESS PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE :]

Wow. This makes Wii Fit Pus (which I also own) look like a joke. Sure, the controls are not perfect, and at times you may find yourself frustrated, bit you will feel the burn. I have been using this for over a week now, and have lost 3lbs and feel great. You will sweat, you will feel the burn, and yes, you will be sore. The daily surveys really hold you accountable for how well you eat, sleep, and play. No shortcuts are allowed in this game. You really do work your body to the peak levels if you stick with it. What do you have to lose, except weight and maybe a few pants sizes? My waistline went from a 35in to a 34in in a week. Set your own goals and keep at it and you will see results too.

Active 2 Wii is a great exercise game. Its entertaining. There is some problems with the arm and leg sensors. The game will periodically stop and make you respond to a prompt if the sensor is not picked up. It occurs every time I run the program. A typical routine is 15-30 minutes so this problem can be irritating. I thought I had a bad sensor so I purchased another one through Ebay. Performance improved but it was still a problem. If it was not for that I would have rated it 5 stars.

Great exercise game! I bought it for days I can't get to the YMCA and it more than meets expectations. Gets you warmed up and sweating in no time. I was skeptical at first, I hate Wii Fit because its too childish, this game is like an exercise video that you work along with. The heart rate monitor helps you control your pace, I don't like the resistance bands that it came with but you can get hand weights instead and also change the setting to hand weights so the person that is "you" on the screen has them.

This game also work with the Wii balance board but I think its better without it because its not used very much and it interrupts your workout when the board shuts off when not used for awhile. The board is most useful for accurate weight. All in all, 4/5 star game.
