EA Sports Active 2 360 Kinect Release

EA Sports Active 2 monitors your every move for better feedback and fitness.

EA Sports Active 2 extends the series by adding their heart rate monitor. Unlike other monitors that strap to the chest, restricting movement, this can be used on the arm or leg to capture stress and effort data.

The series continues it's mix of grownup workouts interspersed with exercise games. This time there is more monitoring of performance through the above as well as support on the 360 for Kinect.

Like Activision's Your Shape, EA Sports Active uses Kinect's ability to track the player's frame to provide performance feedback during exercises. This is mirrors, in wired fashion, via the strapped on Body Tracking sensors on the PS3 and Wii versions.
