Would be great if it worked!

User Rating: 6 | EA Sports Active 2 X360
Active 2 would be great if it actually worked. At first I had problems with the loading screen locking up which was caused by the game trying to communicate with EA's servers. I had to disable my network to get it working. Once I got past that problem I started the 9 week workout program and the game locked up 3 separate times losing all workout progress each time. During a few of the workouts I could not get the tutorials to stop popping up. Also had the jukebox menu interrupt a few of the exercises. The workout programs are great and do get you sweating when it works. The Kinect sensor picks up movement well and only occasionally has problems recognizing running during the uphill portions of mountain biking. Unfortunately Active 2 is broken and completely unplayable for me at this time. Check the EA forums and you will see others having the same problems. My other Kinect games work flawlessly so I will hold on to it for a short while and see if they release a patch to fix these issues.
