    Despite many new entries into the fitness genre, EA Active remains above its competition. EA Active 2 brings a host of new exercises to the mix, great new motion accessories that are more accurate, a very welcome heart rate monitor and robust online integration. The only drawback I find is that versions on other consoles take better advantage of newer motion technologies.

    But as far as exercise programs go, I've never seen anything as complete yet varied as Sports Active 2.

    Fun, but if you're not obsessed with your heart rate, the original's similar - and cheaper. [Jan 2011, p.78]

    By far the most comprehensive exercise game on the Wii. Accurate motion sensors, a heart rate monitor and a rich online presence really keep you motivated to continue exercising. There are some faults which have been pointed out already, but really those are niggles in what is an excellent product. It the discounted price you can get it for it's an absolute bargain.… Expand

    Love the new workouts, however; 2 complaints. Leg strap doesn't seem to register movement in squats and lunges and you lose connection with Wii Remote and Wii balance board several times during a workout. Sometimes in the middle of an exercise! Any suggestions fellow gamers?… Expand

    EA Sports Active 2 will give you a pretty good workout, but it could be so much better. Major problems: - A lot of the exercises, have too long a rest delay between each rep. That is an unforgivable flaw in a program that is supposed to get your heart rate up. - If you do a cardio exercise fast, it will just ignore a lot of your reps. - Long load delays between each exercise. - The controller and balance board will pause the program in the middle of an exercise if left idle. - There are exercises that require you to have hand weights and the controller in your hand at the same time. It can be awkward. Niggling errors that should have been picked up: - If there is an accessory needed for an exercise, the title screen will omit the workout progress bar. - The tally trophies are all set at an arbitrary count of 1,000, even when it’s impossible. - The Sampler trophy for doing every exercise is not achievable. It seems like they forgot that they deleted two exercises.… Expand
