EA SPORTS Active was a huge hit on the Wii console in 2009, and now EA has announced that EA Sports Active 2.0 will be coming out later in 2010. As well as being on the Wii, it will also be available on the Playstation 3, iPhone and iPod touch.
It seems virtual training is taking off and improvements in the version include motion sensors on both arms and one leg so there's no need to hold any controllers. There's also a heart rate monitor which is built into the left arm sensor which will capture the workout intensity. An active personal trainer walks users through their workouts and provide continued encouragement with feedback.
The new online system hub will allow users to save and share their workout data, send messages to each other, and interact by joining workout groups. So although the trainers are virtual, there is also a sense of community. People using the PlayStation 3 will be able to download additional workouts.
