I used this program on Wii for years and it worked without a hitch. On Kinect, it would occasionally lock up if you moved in any way that confused it. Not bad, but other fitness programs such as Nike+ and Your Fitness Evolved work much better on Kinect.

I have been using the EA Sports Active 2 for going on 3 weeks. I have found it to give me a great workout and the Kinect allows for a nice controller free workout. The Heart Rate monitor was the main reason for trying this one out as I've used some other programs like Jenny McCarthy Your Shape on the Wii, which gives a decent workout but the heart rate monitor really allows for a better idea of how much you are actually pushing yourself. Another pro to EA Sports Active 2 is the ability to work out with a partner, my wife and I enjoy the ability to now workout together and push each other on as we go. You can do the joint workout even if you don't have two heart rate monitors, however we did just purchase a 2nd monitor so we can both see more accurately how we are doing together. This workout comes with a resistant band, or if you are like me you can change the settings to use your choice of free weights instead. The workout gives you a good warm up period and cool down period for each workout program where some of the ones I've tried in the past skip the warm up cycle.Read full review

A game which the family can use or couple to get back off the couch and get into shape. EA should sell this item with Two monitors and bands. This would get more couples involved. EA is selling the extra from their store. It is a excellent game which has the player taking part and getting into shape. way to go EA.
It took a while to set up the first time you use it and the targets to get to a workout are a little awkward to hit when you want to work out...making you go through multiple menus to get there. The workout themselves are great, good variety, you do not do anyone thing for very long, so on a 30 minute workout - you have 25 activities....and you get water breaks.
