The entire EA Sports Active 2 package includes the game, a heart rate monitor, a USB receiver, a leg strap (wireless motion detectors) a flexible strip. Batteries for Pulse Monitors & the motion detectors are also included. Unfortunately, the manual was in English only. But once you have inserted the CD, start the game with no problems. USB Stick infect & then one gets also exact instructions for setting up peripheral devices. Initially I had some problems because my heart rate monitor is not recognized. After repeated testing (peripherals sync) but then it worked. The graphics, apart from the surrounding area has not changed much with the previous -EA Sports More workout. Advantage is that you can import, for example, its own profile, so you do not have to enter all the data again. Also like its predecessor has the chance to try different workouts to start in different difficulty levels. You can create your own workouts or different day / week workouts. Another new feature is that you can get from the coach put together a workout. There is also the option to keep an online diary where you can retrieve its progress on the Internet and communicate with a community. This has been not yet used by me. A big advantage is that you can almost no longer requires the Wii Remote. Even the annoying cables the Nunchuk, which always was sitting in the predecessor in the leg loop, has now disappeared due to the wireless motion detection. I started with a moderate workout. Already with the first exercises you realize that the whole exercise will be carried out much faster than its predecessor. I found the speed very pleasant. The combination of exercises was very nice & alternately (strength, endurance, stomach, legs, buttocks, etc.). Especially in the warm-up and cooldown exercises but notice that some exercises were taken over from its predecessor, there are some new exercises (mountainbike, Basektball etc.) have been added, which shine many only in new package. Positive noticed me also that incorporate some dance and kickboxing elements especially in the step aerobics exercises. This has especially been fun, you get a good pace on it and can enjoy a workout pretty.
Conclusion: In general, the game worked perfectly for me. Also it works wirelessly and you almost always have both hands free, I liked. I'm not a professional athlete or trainer. I love it a lot of fun, I would like it and I want to be a bissl Fiter. But I find it very good. For couch potatoes or couch potatoes, it is a nice way of making your home something for your health. Disadvantage as well as its predecessor, as opposed to the gym, of course, that one can never be sure whether you perform the exercises correctly, since the program can not correct a. As for the price / performance ratio, I would like to join the previous speaker. Who knows the predecessor, will be familiar to many exercises. The Flex belt then you have indeed already home. Whether the heart rate monitor, which always displays the heart rate during exercise, requires, I think everyone must decide for themselves. Those who had previously however not even to do with EA Sports Active, is here surely have even more pleasure in it, so I think it's advisable.
