![]() A full review of Exerbeat can be found here. There are a good selection of different kinds of exercises, ranging from aerobics to boxing to yoga, not to mention a few fun games. On the other hand, the video gaming elements keep you motivated to start up the game again day after day until your on-screen character has “travelled the world”doing all kinds of exercises. Read my original review of EA Sports Active 2 here.ĮxerBeat isn’t necessarily the most strenuous workout available nor the most “professional”. Developed in conjunction with the NFL and making full use of graphical assets that EA Sports has with their licensing relationship for NFL Madden, this is another winner in the EA Sports series and a must-have if you have a football fan in the house who could shed a couple pounds. ![]() Like Sports Active 2, it also has interactive games that make exercise a ton of fun and help you build reaction skills, agility, and first step quickness. It features actual football drills and conditioning workouts as conducted in actual NFL training camps, with over 70 drills and strength, power, and conditioning challenges. I’m putting EA Sports Active NFL Training Camp together with EA Sports Active 2 because it is, more or less, an NFL-flavored version of a very similar game. I’m a little surprised that EA Sports never put out EA Sports Active 3 this year, but hopefully they’re working on it. You can read my full review of EA Sports Active here. Polish it off with an improved resistance band and access to a new online portal where you can chart progress and interact with other exercisers, and you’ll see that EA Sports didn’t rest on their laurels, but moved the platform ahead. A new wireless heart rate monitor lets you see your heart rate as you progress through the exercises, and there are a lot of new activities that are much more interactive (and fun) than the previous version. With specially designed wireless transmitters that you strap on to your leg, you can say goodbye those nunchuk wires that kept tripping you up with the first generation. Even though EA seems to have given up on the franchise, it’s still a great workout. And unlike last year when a lot of us paid upwards of $90 for it, nowadays you can easily find it for around $25, which is a steal considering that you don’t just get the game but all the accessories as well. It’s still the one to beat if you’re looking for a “pure exercise game” for the Wii. ![]() EA Sports Active 2 and NFL Training CampĮA Sports Active 2 had been #1 on this since it was introduced last year. Just Dance once again falls in this category.Ģ. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again–the best kind of fitness game is one that’s so fun that you don’t realize you’re exercising. Plus, with “Just Sweat” mode now embedded throughout the entire game, not just in one section, you can get running stats on your workout and receive lot of incentives to keep coming back for more. This, plus a large number of great new modern songs with variations of new and fun choreography, make Just Dance 2015 as fun as ever. The control inaccuracy that plagued the first volume is all but gone now, now that Ubisoft is supporting Wii MotionPlus controllers. Just Dance 2016 is the sequel to Just Dance 1, 2, 3, and 4, 2014, and 2015 and takes its place as a perennial favorite on the best of the best list.
