Out of the several fitness games I've tried on the Nintendo Wii, this one wins hands down. With EA Sports Active, you actually feel like you are doing some exercise, as opposed to the competition where you don't feel as though you're actually getting a 'sweat on'.

There is a great range of different activities, each focusing on different areas (cardio, upper and lower body) and can range from; simple exercises (lunges, squats) to sports (baseball, tennis, volley ball) to even little scenarios (roller skating, dancing and running). These activities vary the equipment they use to mix things up a bit. They can use the leg strap (included), the resistance band (included, although it is a little weak), or a balance board (not included). The game uses all of these to great accuracy and the on-screen demonstrations make all the exercises easy to perform, and effective. You can also change the intensity of a workout (light, moderate or hard) to choose how hard you work.

Other great features include a daily diary, in which it gives you points based on exercise outside the game, and a food/nutrition diary, where it recommends changes to your diet for a healthier lifestyle. You can also workout together with a partner towards a common goal, which adds both a teamwork and competitive element to the game which I find makes you workout a lot harder.

Summary: I would definately recommend this if you are looking for a fitness game, the best by I've played on the Wii so far.
