EA Sports Active 2 requires a lot of patience to make work right, and even when you think it’s perfect, you can expect occasional problems with the Kinect functionality. It’s a shame that it’s $100 like the other versions, as this feels overly expensive because it’s the only version that also requires additional, non-included peripherals (it does include a heartbeat sensor, at least). Still, if you have the will to make it work – and the significant amount of space it requires – Active 2 Kinect will burn calories, tire you out, and hell yes, it’ll make you sore.

BioGamer Girl states, "Losing weight can be hard and sticking to a workout plan can be even harder. However, there are tons of new video games that can help you get moving and drop those extra pounds quickly. Video games get you up and moving with Xbox 360's Kinect and Wii which helps burn off those stubborn calories. Playing games is the easiest way to lose weight, because it can be fun which helps you forget that you are even exercising!"

My advice. Turn off the PS3, Go outside and run/cycle/walk/swim (obviously in a pool), Comeback no earlier than one hour later, turn on PS3, Have fun.
