    EA Sports Active 2 - Xbox 360

    • Don't fret over it, that's just the way it is for now
    • Other reviewers have covered the issues surrounding the Kinect's ability to track certain types of motion for certain exercises--floor exercises for instance (it would be nice to have an *easy* way to blacklist certain exercises so they never show up)
    • This is a fun way to change up my workouts
    • Clear everything way out of the way.-You have to stand up before every exercise in which your sitting down
    • I am constantly told to step back and no matter where I stand nor where I place the kinect sensor, it's not far enough way for this game
    • but it is a great way to get a workout if you STAY PATIENT and
    • Your heart rate is an extremely useful tool for getting the most out of your workouts, working out safely, working out effectively, and a very good way of gauging your intensity.
    • I'm usually pretty even tempered, but when your heart rate is at 150bpm (heart rate monitor is VERY cool and accurate) and you're trying to bust your way through a sprint, I admit to considering throwing my TV through the window when this happens.
    • mode.===========================================There is no easy way to jump into a specific exercise
    • There is no easy way to start a specific exercise just for the fun of it: i.e. soccer goal keeping, dodgeball, mountain biking, etc
    • It was mentioned that some of these developers found other unique ways of overcoming this problem by analyzing the shadows of your body
    • Great way to keep in shape..... would recommend item
    • If you are a beginner that is looking for a fun and easy way to get moving, I think regular dvds or the dancing games like Dance Central 1 and 2 are easier to navigate, much more fun and much more interactive.
    • I would appreciate a way to subsitute exercises
    • The game did not recognize moves, and many times I found myself doing it the wrong way just to get the amount of reps needed to continue to the next exercise.
    • Active 2 will work the way it was intended to about 95% of the time and it will kick your butt, make you sweat, and generally give you a solid workout
    • This is a great way to get in shape and lose inches and weight.
