I went through a stage of "must lose the baby belly" after I had my second daughter and went through a succession of wii and xbox games that would enable me to do it from home - gyms are expensive and quite frankly I don't have the time during the day with my little ones. So how did this one compete against the others? ~~ What is it? ~~ EA Active Sports 2 is basically a far better version that EA Active Sports and combines fun with genuine fitness. Unlike the wii fit, this one makes you feel like you're exercising but lets you go on to your own pace and create your own workouts or follow theirs. It uses the wii fit remote, heart monitor ...  Read the complete review

I have had a wii fit for a few years now so when I was given EA Sports Active 2 as a Christmas gift I was pleased as it meant I now had a bit more variation (please note you do not need a wii balance board to use this game). ==Price and Availability== I was given this by my Mum for Christmas and she paid around £9 for it from one of the eBay daily deals. It is currently £11.94 on Amazon and my sister recently bought it from Tesco for around £15. The game is also available for Xbox 360 Kinect and Playstation 3. ==Whats in the box?== In the box you get the wii disk, a heart rate monitor for your left arm, a motion sensor for your right ...  Read the complete review

I'd been on the search for a Wii game that would be both effective in aiding my weight loss as well as enjoyable for quite some time before I discovered EA Sports Active 2.

I find it really hard to stick to an exercise program, and whilst some may say using a console game isn't going to be the best way to do it, it works for me. I don't like the idea of gyms (I'm shy!) and the thought of just going for a jog again fills me with dread! So findning something to do in the privacy of my own home is great. I've tried many different pieces of standard home gym equiptment, but get bored eaily so some have become nothing more than glorified clothes horses! This game uses the wii's technology to good use, and this second incarnation of the EA fitness range has the added bonus of heart rate monitors for both your leg and your arm, which ...  Read the complete review
