With the release and phenomenal success of Wii Fit, it’s no surprise that other developers are trying to get a slice of the fitness pie. Since then there’s been a constant flurry, of tubby targeting titles.

These titles strike fear into the hearts of people with rotund stature such as myself. Realistically I play games to relax not thrash around like a loony in front of the TV.

But EA sports active looked like it could be more fun than most, as it’s packaged with interesting looking apparatus of torture and makes use of my dust covered balance board.

So I slipped into my track suite and Dire Straits style sweatband, strapped the nunchuck holder to my leg, got the resistance band at the ready and stepped onto the balance board.

30 minutes later and I thought that I was going to die. It was abundantly clear that EA Sports Active is far more intense than Wii Fit is. Instead of poncing around with strange yoga positions, expect some hardcore calorie burning from this title.

I could play this title every day in a bid to get fit. Then again I could just chill out on the sofa, crunching crisps and slurping sugary soda whilst trying to find the final blast shard in inFAMOUS. The latter is far more likely

SCORE: 7 / 10
