EA Sports Active Overview and Reviews

Publishers have been eager to start making some money from the super popular Wii Fit crowd. Electronic Arts has their answer to the fitness video arena is EA Sports Active.

EA Sports Active attempts to appeal to the same demographic that has made Wii Fit and its balance board such a smash success, yet it also tries to differentiate itself in one crucial way.

In Wii Fit the fitness exercises took a more Eastern approach to them with training like yoga and balance-based exercises.

EA Sports Active on the other hand takes a more Western approach to fitness with more high energy exercises. Active tries to target women by developing a collection of activities for them and bringing in Oprah’s fitness guru on board to help develop and promote it.

The game comes equipped with some exercise gear to to use along with the game such as leg straps and resistance bands.

The new fitness video game will cost you $99 to get your fitness on.
