I wasn’t aware EASA2 came out yesterday and I decided to do something I usually never do: buy an expensive product without reading the reviews. Totally worth the gamble.
The game comes with two programs you can enroll in: a 9-week exercise program and 3-week cardio program. It’s recommended that you start off with the 3-week one but I decided to jump into the 9-week one. You’re also given a choice between 3 difficulty levels (which you can adjust at a later time): Easy, Medium, and Hard. I went with Hard and it definitely showed. It was a great 30 minute workout that had me sweating hard by the end.
I bought the PS3 version which uses three sensors that connect wirelessly to a USB peripheral. One goes on your left forearm, one on the right, and the last one goes on your right thigh. Setting everything up was a breeze and after I completed the avatar creation process (which you shouldn’t expect much from if you’re a heavy RPG player like me), I filled out some surveys for the in-game journal (for better tracking) and then proceeded with my first workout session using EASA2.
So far I’ve found the music tracks enjoyable but I’m probably going to make my own playlist and import it into the game pretty soon. The exercises are wonderfully paced and the mountain bike one is a lot of fun. You can make custom workout sessions and track all the progress you’ve made and create schedules and view your workout calendar.
All the data is stored on EA’s servers and a lot of it is accessible from EASportsActive.com; the companion website is mostly functional but does have a few janky (buggy) moments. EA is not known for excellent launches (online stat tracking for Battlefield Bad Company 2 was an atrocious mess for the first few weeks), but you should expect excellent functionality soon.
If you’re interested in doing this thing with a partner, the game features a 2-player mode if you buy another set of sensors (so far EA is only selling bundles) and that seems like it might be really fun. I don’t have friends willing to shell out $110 on something like this but I can see couples getting a lot out of buying 2 bundles.
If you’re even remotely interested in exercising at home without buying monetarily and spatially expensive equipment, then EA SPORTS Active 2.0 is the product for you. Recommendation based on the first day impressions? Buy it.
P.S. The bundle comes with a resistance band but neither the manual nor the game instruct you to put it together prior to starting your workout. Just when I was really getting into it, I had to pause the whole thing in order to set up the resistance band. It’s a bit of a lame oversight on the developer’s side, but definitely not a deal breaker.
am a sucker for any product that’s going to make my workout more fun. I own both previous version of this game, and faithfully ran out to get this one the day it was released. I am in good shape and have done intense workouts in the past such as p90x, so I consider myself an advanced exerciser. I am probably not the target audience for this product, but if you are like me, maybe this review will help you. If you are out of shape and don’t exercise, go buy this product right now and start using it! If not, read on…
EA Active 2 is by far the best exercise video game available, so if you have already decided to get one, definitely get this one. However, compared to most other forms of exercise its still lacking, will annoy the crap out of you, and probably end up not being used. Some of the issues from previous versions have been improved, but there are still enough annoyances that you can’t get through a workout without getting frustrated and slowed down by the technology.
Lots of people have written about the pro’s and improvements so I’m just going to say what I think they left out. The program still gets stuck waiting for you to ‘stand up and stay still’ between reps of many exercises. Even when standing completely still I sometimes have to wait 10 to 20 seconds for it to continue. It is still too slow to register when you have gone into a position (faster than before, but still too slow!). The avatar tracking of any running type motion, including high-knees and kick-ups is still terrible. Sometimes it goes slowly while I’m running fast (and keeps telling me to speed up) and sometimes it runs extremely fast when I’m just doing a light jog. A lot of these issues could be caused by improperly positioned sensors but I am following the limited instructions that came with the game and have tried making many minor adjustments without any improvement. The warmup routine is improved, but still totally monotonous and is much more of a stretch than a warmup. I still end up jogging in place between stretches to get a decent warmup (not a big deal).
The pace of the exercises (even when its working right) is just too slow for my taste. Timing is probably the biggest issue preventing me from enjoying the workout. The 1 to 2 second pause between each rep sounds small, but ends up making me feel like I’m holding myself back the entire time. There is also a 10 to 15 second delay between exercises, ugh. It would be much better if this was adjustable. No other form of exercise (video, class, gym, home gym) has you waiting this long between each rep and activity. Good for beginners, not so much for people who already know what they’re doing.
The bottom line is at the end of a workout I’m just annoyed and relieved its over, which is a horrible way to feel after exercising. I recommend you spend your money on something else, unless you’re just looking for the novelty experience. I hope EA keeps working to improve it, maybe the next one will get right!
EA Sports Active 2 for PS3 comes with everything you need in the box. It doesn’t use the move controllers. This is so exercises can be hands-free in case you wanted to use weights with some of the resistance routines.
If you are looking for an alternative to the gym or a personal trainer… I would recommend this over any other fitness title as it provides real exercises instead of routines where you can only wonder if you are getting an effective workout. The routines and programs in this software were designed by personal trainers.
You can have the software create a workout routine for you focusing on cardio, upper body, lower body, core, or full body. You can also create your own personal routines. When you create your own routine, the software lets you know what percentages of the body you are covering. Such as 50% upper body, 20% lower body, 10% core, 15% cardio. This is so you can be sure you are tailoring the workout to what you want. There won’t be any guessing on if you are working the body effectively.
There is a 21 day cardio program and a nine week total fitness program which also features weekly fitness tests that measure how long it takes for your heart rate to recover.
This software uses motion sensors to make sure you are doing the exercises properly. These may present a problem initially for some people as they may put them on incorrectly. They aren’t difficult to put on, it’s just one may overlook something about them when first using them. Overall, they work excellent.
Two people can play if there is an extra set of motion sensors. These should be available for purchase from the EA website.
The heart rate monitor is accurate as well as it shows you and saves your heart rate data. This enables you to see your intensity levels on your workouts. You can make sure you are working out in the right zone and not overdoing it or underdoing it.
There is a journal that is optional for you to fill out that keeps track of your nutrition and workout progress. If you already know quite a bit about fitness and nutrition, you may find this repetitive. I do, I still choose to use it though, it makes it easier to know your eating patterns over time compared to writing it in a book. I know on my days off of work, I choose to eat more snack type foods. So at the end of the day, you just answer about 10 questions of what you ate and drank that day and that’s it.
If you don’t know anything about nutrition or are confused by it, they have built in, easy to read and follow nutrition charts on what is good to eat and what you should avoid. These are very easy to follow and I highly recommend them to someone who wants better nutrition but do not know where or how to start.
Also, if you don’t know the first thing about exercises and/or are just starting out exercising, the lead and follow exercises the virtual personal trainers perform are great. There are also tutorials before an exercise begins.
Not only are there the traditional exercises and stretches, but there are also “games” which cover up the “exercise” to make fitness fun. There is mountain boarding where you have to run up hills and jump from rail to rail. This covers up the running in place and squat jumps you are doing.
What I like about this software alot is that when you are doing an overall workout, you aren’t doing one type of exercise for 20 or 30 minutes. It moves from one exercise to another smoothly and quickly. So you may be doing 20 mini exercises in a 30 minute workout for example. The way it is laid out though, it covers the body areas you chose to focus on and you don’t get bored doing one exercise for 20 minutes. I think this is the thing that will keep me at it long term for myself.
To sum up, whether you are familiar with working out or not, this is a real fitness product. If you don’t know where to start concerning exercise and nutrition and wonder if you should join a gym or hire a personal trainer, I would recommend this. It’s cheaper than a gym and a trainer, although some people do better in that setting.
The PS3 version also will feature downloadable workouts as well to keep things fresh.
