1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Control Response Makes for Poor Game Experience, May 16, 2008

This review is from: Deca Sports (Video Game)

I didn't come to Deca Sports with extremely high expectations. I was just hoping for a fun little experience that could be shared with a few friends in multiplayer mode. What I got was a very frustrating game with a input response delay that makes the whole thing unbearable.

While the event selection, game mode variety, and graphical presentation meet my expectations for a budget price, multiplayer casual game, the gameplay leaves something to be desired. In almost every one of the 10 sports on offer, there is a major control problem that makes the experience completely unsatisfying. Two examples:

Badminton: When executing a swing the on-screen character does not initiate movement until the player has reached the end of their wiimote motion. This delay feels unnatural and ruins the experience for me. Volleyball and basketball have a similar delay.

Curling: The velocity at which the stone is released is dictated by stopping the power bar at the appropriate level. This task is nearly impossible due to a significant (and inconsistent) delay between the wiimote command and the game's response to that input. It is very difficult to enjoy the best part of curling (strategy) when a basic element of the gameplay mechanics introduces an uncontrollable random element.

I cannot recommend this game due to the high level of control related frustration I experienced.

1.0 out of 5 stars Could have been SO MUCH MORE!, May 15, 2008

This review is from: Deca Sports (Video Game)

I was very excited for this game. Unfortunately it is not even close to what I had hoped it to be. I wanted more of Wii Sports. This game isn't even in the same category.

The controls are NOT intuitive. For some of the games the controls don't respond well. In particular the archery game was one where I had to shake the wiimote to get the target to be on (you are not supposed to have to shake it). Soccer was confusing. Skiing was o.k. It was VERY short. Beach Volleyball was so-so. Kart racing (of course) is not Mario Kart.

You cannot play with your Mii (which is REALLY a let down!)

My daughter did play a little when I finished. She remarked that most of the games were very boring. In fact that's a good way to put it. BORING! There is also NO real exercise value to this like you get with Wii Sports--this is one that is absolutely not designed to get you up and moving even a little bit. The only exercise you might get is a little bit of thumb workout. Disappointing.

Hopefully it will have some trade in value since its brand new. Otherwise I'm out $30 (I wrote this review so you won't be too!)

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it!, June 5, 2008

This review is from: Deca Sports (Video Game)

I have owned this game since it came out. I was bored at work and thought that I would look up other peoples reviews and I am completely shocked at all of the bad reviews. I have had so much fun with this game. Beach Volleyball and Badminton are my fav's. Mostly I have played this game as a single player but when my friends have come over they love it as well. I think the part that is better than Wii Sports is that the competition is harder. In tennis on Wii sports I have reached a point where I am a pro with over 2000points. I can beat the best team every time. So now I only play against friends and never against the computer. However with Volleyball and badminton you can increase the strength of your competition and I have been unable to beat any of them. It's great that they have made it more challenging. I totally 100% recommend this game and at $30 it's a steal!
