EA SPORTS Active for the Wii

If you liked the Wii Fit, consider trying out the new EA SPORTS Active for the Wii console.

A year ago I did a release date review on the Wii Fit for CBC News at Six. I thought the game was a whole lot of fun. My only complaint was it was *too fun* and not challenging enough to see results.

The EA SPORTS Active seems to have that angle covered. This looks like it could be a fun AND effective way to get in to shape or supplement your training program

In this game you have the option to include accessories such as resistance tubes, to work your body harder and a leg strap to monitor movement. It's also possible to combine the Wii balance board for more variety and challenge.

Another great feature is multiplayer. You have the option to play side by side in split screen, or compete against each other. There is also progress tracking for diet and exercise. Plus the 30 day challenge, which designs a workout per day program designed with your goals and level in mind.

As you might imagine I LOVE that this game has a personal training component. The trainer explains exercises, motivates and corrects form!

All of this sounds seriously cool. I can't wait to try it out. If these games get any better, I'm out of a job! :P

If anybody has played yet, comment or write to me. I want to know if it's as good as it sounds!
