    EA Sports Active 2 - Xbox 360

    • And you do have to keep the wii remote "engaged".I really like seeing the heart rate monitor, calorie counter and intensity gauges during each workout
    • The heart rate monitor works great, every once in a while it
    • The heart rate monitor works great, every once in a while it
    • I just wish a second heart rate monitor wasn't so expensive
    • The heart rate monitor is a good idea, but it doesn't work very well.
    • heart rate monitor is a junk and useless
    • Pros:-Heart rate monitoring.
    • The heart rate monitor is inaccurate at best - on one occasion my heart rate was 'zero' for 10 minutes
    • The heart rate monitor works adequately and feels comfortable worn on the forearm, but I would think the program would use that info to customize the speed or intensity of the workout to keep you in a target zone.
    • The heart rate monitor is nice, and the workouts let you know where your at all the time
    • The heart rate monitor seems accurate and it's nice to watch my heart rate while I'm excercising.
    • The heart rate monitor works just fine and is an excellent addition.
    • This goes for all the active titles, the heart rate monitor is GREAT
    • I find the heart rate monitor to be buggy at best
    • The heart rate monitor that comes with Active 2 is simple and works perfectly but isn't really required, it should be optional because it makes the game come in at a pricey $100.The ability to make your character appear on the screen with free weights instead of the resistance band is nice, it doesn't really change any of the exercises and nothing was preventing you from ditching the band in favor of the weights before
    • The rate monitor just isn't that important to me
    • Good news: Heart rate monitor is great
    • This just adds to my belief that it isn't tracking my movements accurately, so I just might go sit on the couch, have a milk shake and get credit for a 200 calorie burn.(wait, I just stood in front of the Kinect, and "ran" a lap by just making my arms go through the pumping motion (of running) the more I pumped, the faster I ran
    • I was running as fast as I possibly could, but my avatar was barely moving.
