EA Wii Active versus Wii Fit

You can watch yourself box, inline skate, and do all manner of exercises in this wonderful breakthrough in the technological arena. EA’s Wii active aims to make exercise more fun, motivational, and addictive. For those who get bored with the same routine, they can also choose not to have the same exercise twice. Flexibility: that’s its main strength.

EA Sports Active for the Nintendo Wii has been released last May 2009, and they’ve launched a website that features Carmen Bott and Bob Greene, world class trainers and health enthusiasts. Though both Wii Active and Wii Fit were designed to be fun and functional, the former enhances the program by making the activities more “westernized.” Gone are the voice-overs that are done with thick Asian accents. People from English-speaking countries can now better understand their avatars. Moreover, the music that goes with each workout no longer sounds like it came from a decrepit 80’s radio show. The beat reflects the current trends, making movement more fun. Users of the Nintendo Wii don’t have to put their TV’s on mute because they can now listen to the improved sound quality that Wii Active offers.

If you haven't tried the Wii Fit at all, go to your nearest retail shops and compare the two software products. It's hard to stay motivated watching cute little Wii Mii's move along to sounds that are totally unfamiliar to you. Wii Active, on the other hand, has been designed and programmed to fit the interests of the western culture.
