EA have announced that their top-selling Wii-fitness-a-thon “EA Sports Active” will see a follow up later this year imaginatively titled “EA Sports Active 2.0“!
Tarrnie Williams, Executive Producer at EA says that the game “will define a new era of interactive fitness with the use of innovative motion sensor peripherals and a heart rate monitor that provide users with a fitness experience delivering real, measurable results“. Who are we to argue?
This time around the game will also be available for PS3 and iPhone/iTouch and it includes a heart rate monitor which sees EA taking on Nintendo at their own game with the release of the Vitality Sensor also due out later this year.
