I think ea Sports active 2 be definitely a step up from the original . I really like the interactive content and heart rate monitor . the infrared leg strap be a big improvement as well . I no longer have a desire to use the original -lrb- active 1 -rrb- because it have so much trouble follow my movement and track my repetition . active 2 sometimes have trouble track movement but not so much so that it take away from the experience as it do in active 1 . I be also happy with the variety of the exercise content . a downside I have encounter with the Wii remote sensor for this game be that it be far too touchy -lrb- when compare to other Wii game I have -rrb- when attempt to select from the on-screen menu .
