Amazon.com Review
Play your favorite sports like a pro with the Ultimotion Swing Zone Sports video game. This fun and entertaining interactive video game will have your five- to 10-year-old child hitting home runs like a champ, tossing a football like a quarterback, and acing their opponents on the tennis court in no time flat.

The game controllers look like real sports equipment. View larger.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Allows you to control the sports action with your own movements The Bad: Requires a lot of space for play In a Nutshell: Gives young kids the chance to practice their favorite sports moves At a Glance Ages: 5 and up Requires: Two AAA batteries, four AA batteries and a television

Let The Games Begin!
With the Swing Zone Sports video game, your child can get right in the middle of the action. The set-up is simple, and with five different sports challenges to choose from, the fun will last for hours . To get started, simply insert two AAA batteries into the game controller, four AA batteries into the game console, and hook it up to your television with the AV cable provided. Give your child plenty of room to perform all of their favorite sports action and watch as they shine like a sports star.

Your child can choose from one of six sports competitors and games: tossing footballs like a quarterback at moving targets; throwing strikes as they bowl 10 frames in the bowling challenge; serving and returning smash hits on the tennis court; teeing up for a round of golf or hitting home runs for points on the baseball diamond; and more.

Each sports challenge comes with the option of one or two players, with high scores recorded so your little athlete can keep track of their progress. Adding to the fun are the lightweight, plastic game controller accessory handles, individually designed to look like real sports equipment.

Get Off The Couch And Into The Action!
Once you have connected the Swing Zone Sports game console to your television, take a moment to sync it to the hand-held game controller. This may take a few tries of pushing the right buttons, but once the status indicator on the game controller begins flashing, your child is ready to go. Be sure to give them plenty of room to play (at least eight feet of space) so they can safely mimic real sports motions like tossing and swinging. And remember to keep the adjustable wrist strap securely wrapped around each player's wrist during play as forgetting to do so might result in them loosing their grip during the exciting action.

A fun and entertaining way to learn basic athletic moves, the Swing Zone Sports video game engages your younger child with bright graphics and simple but fun sports challenges. The variety of activities combined with the entertaining choices of sports characters and the durable plastic accessory handles makes this video game fun and engaging for young players.

What's in the Box

4.0 out of 5 stars easy to play, fun for the family., December 9, 2008

By	Tennille Infante (Milford, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this item for my in-laws. They love to play the wii bowling when they are over our house. They originally wanted to buy a wii but not worth the money to them because they only like the bowling game. We bought this as an alternative for them. I just got it today and decided to test it out with my husband before we give it to them as a christmas gift. Set up was easy, add batteries, plug and play!!! No problems with the remote sync. We tested all the games and they were fun. I think my father-in-law will like the bowling game alot. I did press the sync button on the console by mistake thinking it was the power button and needed to re-sync the remote. I followed the instructions on the back of the console and had no problems. Overall, very easy, great for kids and adults. I would purchase again.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun toy, December 22, 2008

By	Gregory J. Snyder (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This is actually a fun toy. I've played with it for a few days now, and I'm actually pretty pleased with it given the price. No, it's not a Wii. It's a toy that costs about 1/10th of a Wii. So no direct comparisons should be made. And with that said, this game unit still has some really fun game play. It's meant to be a toy, not a serious gaming platform.

I've read a few complaints about syncing the remote with the base unit. It's quite easy, and I've not had a single problem. The complainers either were using old batteries or so technologically inept that the touch-tone phone is still a new concept for them. Turn the base unit "on"; Press "A" on the remote. Done!

All the (5) sporting games are fun, and they're all quite unique from each other. (1) Golf: The course is a bit boring--but the wind strength and direction make it interesting. (2) Bowling. (What can I say? It's bowling! But there is "bumper bowling" for the wee-ones.) (3) Tennis. (One player.) Probably my least favorite, because I stink at it (4) Home-Run Derby. (5) Football: (A game of accuracy, as you throw a football through moving targets.)

Set-up was easy. My "gripes" (word used loosely) is that the sound is only mono (not stereo), and there's only one remote (so there's no head-to-head game play). But with that said--these guys had to cut costs somewhere, so I see these offenses as passable. Buy a "Y" RCA splitter, and tell the kids to share. (Some games have 2-player mode, others do not.)

For the money (approximately 1/10th of a Wii), this is a great little purchase. It's great for occasional use, and for non-serious gamers. And considering how many other parents I know who have Wii's on shelves (unused) collecting dust--this is a great niche product that's perfect for a lot of people.

OK I HAVE USED THIS ABOUT 5 TIMES SO FAR. IT WASNT HARD TO SYNC AND IT AUTOMATICALLY SYNCS WHENEVER I TURN IT ON. MY 5 YR OLD LOVES IT AND I LOVE IT. IT IS WONDERFUL GAME PLAY. WHEN U ARE BOWLING IF U TURN YOUR WRIST IT MOVE THE DIRECTION U GO. IT HAS GREAT SOUND EFFECT AND WHEN YOU HIT A HOMERUN IN BASEBALL IT HAS FIREWORKS. THE CHARACTERS LOOK WAY MORE REAL AND FUN THAN THE WII CHARACHTERS AND THIS IS A GREAT PRICE ON AMAZON.
