Developed in collaboration with fitness expert Bob Greene, best known as Oprah’s personal trainer, EA SPORTS Active provides a fun, inexpensive and simple to keep up regimen designed to encourage physical fitness and healthy living. A combination of a wide variety of interactive activities and exercises, linked together into an ever-changing circuit training routine targeting the muscles of the upper and lower body, as well as providing cardio for a healthy heart, it is the exact implementation option for every member of a modern household.
Gameplay Although activity in EA SPORTS Active flows exclusively owing to the combination of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers, it also utilizes a few additional accessories to maximize the functionality of this configuration. The first of these included with the game is the controller leg belt. By attaching this to their upper thigh and then slipping the Nunchuck controller into it, players can utilize the Nunchuck controller’s motion sensing capabilities while it is connected to the Wii Remote to monitor their leg movements. This allows for cardio exercises like jogging and cardio boxing and strength training activities like squats. Also included with the game is a resistance band designed to increase the intensity of a variety of exercises such as bicep mane and shoulder presses and lifts. In addition, although not included, the Wii Balance penetrate is compatible with many EA SPORTS Active workouts, but only as an optional added controller configuration. Key Game Features:
Co-op Multiplayer Mode

The reason I gave the Wii Active such a poor review is the numchuck holder is designed very poorly. The numchuck holder does not stay on the thigh very well – Nintendo could of come up with a different way to hold the numchuck on the leg. If I knew how poorly designed the holder was I would not have bought this workout from Nintendo. I wish I could get a refund.

Such high hopes.. completely dashed.
In a nutshell, a splendid workout may be had here, but the game is FLAWED.
From the opening moments, I knew it wasn’t going to work.
EA HEARTBEAT.. EA HEARTBEAT (push button to skip) EA HEARTBEAT.. EA HEARTBEAT.. (I GET IT! push push push button to ship) EA HEARTBEAT .. spinny logo HOLD . . . (push button push button) logo HOLD..) and load to the next screen.
SERIOUSLY? We can’t skip that? mkay..
Character make is shallow. Sorry, choosing shoe affect doesn’t count.
It wouldn’t have taken programmers long to import a mii and just place EA’s spin on it.
THE TEXT IS TOO SMALL ON THE SCREEN. Holy buckets, I’ve got a 56″ screen and I was squinting from just across the room. Admittedly, I don’t have the best eye-sight, but still.
Typical alacrity programming problems: small things like there is text on the screen, with a timely to go down.. so you do.. and find yourself scrolling the text up to find a blank line. Thanks much for not anything!
So, fired up 30 day challenge because making a workout was really really perplexing. It was just a bunch of small pictures, and none of them looked fascinating. Where is the jewelry? The tennis? Do I have to unlock them? Really? Care to mention that somewhere?
The workout is on, and it’s.. fine. I was getting a excellent workout. I got crap from the trainer for not running hard enough, but my pace was exact. Turns out I was wearing the belt-thing too high. Lower it, and it sees more movement. SO, it wasn’t the PACE, it was the intensity. Too terrible it didn’t tell me that.
TRAINER COMMENTS! OH, please.
GREAT JOB! YOU’RE REALLY DOING GREAT HERE! WOW, THAT’S SOME INTENSITY! GREAT JOB! YOU’RE REALLY DOING GREAT HERE! WOW, THAT’S SOME INTENSITY!
Really? the same 6 comments repeated in every workout non-stop? Like 1 note every 3 seconds?
So, I went into the options and turned down the frequency of comments.
SAVING.. (pause pause pause) RESUME GAME
SAME THING EXACTLY. non-stop string of comments.
So, I went into the options and turned them OFF
SAVING.. (pause pause pause) RESUME GAME
SAME THING EXACTLY. Another bug. Crappy free programming really hacks me off.
Back into options, Trainer voice volume, 0%
There, now he’s gone.
So, I got a pretty excellent workout. The running was .. fine.
They really missed it by doing the running on a TRACK.
HOW BORING IS THAT? Even Wii Fit lets you run around an island.
Ooo.. pink trees, huge deal. loop loop loop .. same scenery again and again.
The stretchy cord stuff was .. fine. You can adjust the intensity by stepping on more or less of it.. cool. Seems flimsy and I’ve read the belt is snapping on people already.
The boxing was .. fine, though for the life of me I couldn’t figure out why some targets would break and some wouldn’t.
When using the balance penetrate.. it was just perilous.
foot up KICK..foot down.. foot up KICK.. foot down.
Do again that a ton and you’ll find that you’re not putting your foot down in exactly the same spot. You aren’t watching your feet, you’re watching video cues on what to do next. I fell off twice, once rolling an ankle. Thanks EA.
So you’ve heard of all the different stuff in the game, right? I’ve heard of it too, but saw very small on my first workout.
IN FACT (this so hacked me off!) at the end of the workout, we pretty much repeated everything we’d just done. Really?
That’s fascinating? That’s motivating? Puh-leaze. I was already bored and couldn’t wait for it to end.
Left lunges wouldn’t register, btw. I had to slap nunchuck for my character to go down with me. Crappy programming for the win.
The fact that your character on-screen takes a honest amount of time to respond to your movements is beyond irritating also.
I got a trophy for completing day one of the 30 day challenge (cool) and read that tomorrow, we’d be doing tennis. (cool!)
Fired it up tonight, heartbeat.. heartbeat.. ARG! ..
loaded the profile it suggested as the last used (the only profile made) and launched the 30 day workout.
ON DAY ONE.
(let me do again that..)
ON DAY ONE.
Yep, I still had the trophy for completing day one.. but I was stuck back on day one.
I’ve read of this bug on other sites.
Crappy programming for the win. I really wanted to try tennis, so I tried to smile and bear it .. but I couldn’t. To do the same workouts 4 times in two days was just too much, especially since the lunges threw both knees out somehow.
EA SPORTS ACTIVE was pulled from my wii and will probably never be place back in. I can’t trust it.
For a excellent workout, I highly recommend Personal fitness coach. THAT is a workout. I’ve been doing that a few times a week for months. I took off about 10 pounds and have now been maintaining my body weight. It does something EA sports Active can’t: it gives energy by timing all the music to no matter what you are doing, just like at the gym.
You may like it, but I couldn’t get by the bugs and how unpolished it felt. ick.

As you may have read in my other reveiw, our small Jeremyna has a slight weight issue, mainly from her riding around her small scooter Razor Pocket Mod Miniature Euro Electric Scooter, and not walking anywhere. That is why we chose to get her this EA Active game. Jeremyna likes playing with her Wii, and it has helped a bit when it comes to her weight loss, but it tires her out completely.
Poor small winded Jeremyna.
The software is excellent in that it makes something called the “30 day Challenge” that allows you to tailor your workout, and change it up over this cycle of time. We just started doing this, and the results are positve, so far. We will see how the trial cycle works out.
We also saw that there is a co-operative mode with the game. When we introduced this to Jeremyna, she was all for it. But just one week into our practice, Jeremyna was not hip to it anymore. She said it was too hard, and threw down her Wiimote.
Stubborn small Jeremyna.
We are now back on speaking tems, but Jeremyna is not sure if she wants to continue. I told her, “No playing with her Wii, no Razor Pocket Mod.” That got her attention.
So we are back at it, and I am encouraging Jeremyna every chance we get. Splendid job, Jeremyna!
And excellent job EA on this fitness trainer.

This was the worst video game and dissipate of cash yet. HATED it. half the time the nunchunk in the belt doesn’t register. The other half the time the punches in the boxing don’t register. I WANT MY MONEY BACK. HORRIBLE

I thought this game was excellent on the first day I had it- it was a nice mix of fun and more of a workout than wii fit. I immediately started the 30 day challenge and thought the exercises were excellent, except for the bent over rows. I am really small so I had to have my legs very wide in order for the resistance band to give any kind of resistance. The second day I did the workout my game bunged registering my movements during the bicep mane and lunges. I opened a new nunchuck and changed the batteries on my wii remote but still could not get the exercises to register. I tried skipping exercises, and that worked for a bit, but who needs a game that you can’t do all the moves in? Then the game kept telling me to stand still even though I already was. I adjusted the leg belt and even tried taking it off and setting it, the remote, and nunchuck down, but the game still insisted that I was not standing still. My boyfriend tried to use the game to see if it was just me, and it would not register his moves either. It was incredibly frustrating, and I returned the game. I had really high hopes for this product but so far it is the only game for wii that I have had any kind of distress with. When I was having distress with the controls it was WORSE than the Jillian Michaels game.
