I just snagged it for my birthday drom my sister.  I love wii fit and this seems amazing to be honest.  Much more in depth with personal workouts to help you hit your goals and target areas specifically.  I've lost 30 pounds almost on wii fit, but i still have the ol gut.  This will let me target it now.

Anyone else got it yet?  I'm too tired and hungover to exercise so I havent tried it yet, whats anyone here think of it?

my mother plays that game a lot, i use it sometimes as well

it has much more depth than Wii Fit, asks if you want extreme exercise, normal or low level, tells you how many calories you lose, and has several challenges which are series of exercises you have to complete

also asks about body type and all that, has a higher variety of exercises so you'll probably find the ones for you

nope i use an awesome game called Riding a bike!!! lol jk no i havnt tried EA active. Seemed too much like a cheap knockoff of wii fit for my taste. But to each his own and im happy to hear that its made you get more active. Congratulations on ur 30 lost pounds :)

^^^^

its kinda different than wii fit, just more like a program of exercise, then random exercises

its got beetter music too ;)

I haven't gotten it yet but I will soonish. My gf wants it and i just can't say no to her. I have to sent me wii back for repair though so i'm holding off buying it for the moment in case i find a sale between now and when my wii gets back.

howd your wii break out of curiousity?

my 360 died, so i cannot let my wii go atm :P

I have it and am on day 9 of the 30 day challenge. It is a great fitness program, though the resistance band provided is way too light (thin). I picked up a 3 pack of resistance bands from Target for $8.99 with a light medium and heavy band, and am currently using the blue heavy band on the medium workout level.

The software provides a much better workout than Wii Fit. You will work up a sweat, and the exercises follow a program, working out varied muscle groups each day, with a consistent focus on cardio. It works you out and it works very well. It gives you an estimated calorie count of burned calories, and gives you extra points for healthy eating, water consumption, outside exercise, and good sleeping patterns.

I have lost more weight in the short time I've owned this than I ever did with Wii Fit. But I might add some Wii Fit into my routine as well, as the sit ups and pushup exercises in Wii Fit are not present in Active. Though I would use Active as the main program, and use only the strength and yoga from Wii Fit as the cardio in Active is much more effective than the cardio (lol) in Wii Fit.

My only complaint, though minor, is that the controls are slightly buggy in two of the twenty five exercises (Lunges, Bicep Curls with Shoulder Presses). The Wiimote and nunchuck are recognized by exact turns in these two exercises, and I believe the nunchuck doesn't always show the move.

Overall I'd give Active a 9 out of 10 as an exercise too, and Wii Fit a 7 out of 10.

I snagged EA Sports Active & Punchout! Both are really good games. I definitely work up a good sweat with Active on my workout light days...

2nd time i'm sending in btw i'm kind of getting pissed but at least the customer service was excellent.

at xmas time i was trying to join the VGC secret santa but i couldn't friend anyone for some reason.  I called up customer support and they told me to send it in.  But since everything else worked and I had a year to send it in i've been delaying.  Lately it won't read disks reliably and occasionally black screens on me which requires a restart.  i'm to the point i can't play my wii reliably so i'm forced to send it in,.. but it will be missed.
