EA Gives Gamers Another Exercise Game Not to Play


Remember when the Wii came out a few short years ago? Remember the throngs of geeks and weirdos that waited hours in line to be one of the first to get the "revolutionary new Nintendo system?" Well, I was one of those geeks, but to be honest, for about the past six months, I have had to remember to boot up my Wii every couple of weeks to ensure that the fan bearings don't lock up. I don't play the Wii any more, I don't have a Wii Fit, and I won't be buying EA SPORTS Active either.

The game was supposed to re-revolutionize the revolutionary revolution of working out instead of playing video games. It was supposed to one-up the Wii Fit fanatics out there. Instead, it makes the user look immensely lame, offers no fun, and guarantees that you won't be breeding in the future. Don't get me wrong, I have a few brother-in-laws that I wish I could have kept from breeding, but the EA SPORTS Active would be too cruel for even them.

The EA SPORTS Active simply includes a thigh sensor to track your movements, and rubber resistance bands that make it harder to lift the Wii Remote. Honestly though, if your sole source of physical activity is the Wii, lifting the remote is probably difficult enough. If you purchase the game, I do promise that you will be at least $59.99 lighter, but you will still be out of shape - and you will look like a dork.
