 I love it! June 5, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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!
 Easy and more Fun than I expected. June 4, 2008

Deca Sports is more than I expected and a lot of fun, I really enjoyed the Basketball and the GoKarts. I found the Archery to be a little bit to easy and my family and I racked up high scores. Up to 4 people can play at one time, and while you can't use your Mii, you can select your character and for Basketball or some other games, your Team. The book that comes with the game explains each team and their strengths to you. Deca Sports is totally different than WII sports, but I found myself surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. This is due to the fact that I resisted purchasing Deca Sports due to reading the poor reviews on Amazon.com. However, as a very young family member said to me, he is 9 years old, everyone has their own opinion? Deca Sports is fun for up to 4 players and at the end of our evening, I found that I did enjoy myself and so did my guests and my family.
This is a good game May 27, 2008

This is a pretty good game. It is not wii sports, but in some ways I prefer it to Wii sports. First off, this is a multiplayer game, and that is what I am giving it its grade on. With a group of friends this is a fantastic game to pass the time with. Also may I add, this game is great for families or to play with your girlfriend, that is because it is simple and does not have the huge learning curve that usually turns young kids and most girls off from video games. snowboarding, gokarts, and motocross are all essentially the same game. However, the kart game plays almost the same as Mario Kart which sells for 50 dollars, minus the power ups. Soccer and basketball are very unique and can be alot of fun. Badmitten, is simple yet gratifying. Curling and archery are both nice additions, though archery is too easy. Overall this game provides about 5-6 quality games which is the same amount Wii Sports provided and Wii sports was not free, it was factored into the cost of the Wii which was originally only supposed to sell for 150, also I might add this is a far better game than Wii play which only had 1 good game which was the tank one.
Better Experience Than Most Had May 23, 2008

I enjoyed this game quite a bit more than others here did. My expectations weren't nearly as high as others, so I guess I just expected a fun game the family could play together.
We particularly enjoyed archery, badminton, basketball, and curling. The kids liked the figure skating, beach volleyball, soccer as well as the skiing.
We didn't care for the kart racing or motorcross nearly as much and those get fewer plays.
I'm not sure why we are enjoying it more than most of the other people who eviewed the game, and I definitely don't think it's as good as Wii Sports, but it was fun and we will play it in the future.
 Frustrated but willing to try it again May 22, 2008

I was excited at the potential this game had and looked forward to trying some of the different sports offered in this package. We bought the game late Saturday night and had an opportunity to play with it Tuesday night.
The first problem we encountered was trying to activate the multi-player mode. We selected it and tried to start a game but were only allowed to select 1 player. I repeatedly read the instruction book that only indicated "after setting up the hardware". I setup multiple remotes with the Remote Control commands repeatedly to no avail and even switched my remote order around through reconnecting them. Finally I logged onto the Hudson Entertainment forums and discovered I needed to use the red button under the battery cover to connect multiple remotes. I've never had to do this for other games. It was incredibly frustrating. After an hour, my wife and I were finally ready to play the game.
The first one we tried was badminton. We figured it would be similar to tennis from Wii Sports. The response seemed inconsistent with swinging the remote and required some pausing before swinging. We completed a couple of matches and went on to the next offering.
The next game we tried was curling. My wife and I were very excited to try this game. It took a little time to change or expectations for the controls but we finally got used to swinging the remote down to push off the block instead of swinging out like bowling. Gauging the power properly was a timing issue but we could hit the mark 75% of the time after a few throws. We enjoyed this game.
Next, we tried kart racing. My wife is not very good at driving games and I haven't yet tried Mario Kart for the Wii so we didn't have high expectations for the game. It was ok. After getting my wife to orient her remote properly she did much better. We played through 4 or 5 races and got a good feel for the controls. Again, they felt a little loose but ok.
Finally, we tried archery. It was fun if jerky. The box over the target did not move smoothly as we tried to zero in on the target. Instead it seemed to teleport from place to place around the target as we moved. My wife picked up on the controls and did well in our two 6-shot games, scoring 33 and 46 out of 60. The best I could do in two games was 30.
Overall, we only tried 4 of the 10 sports on the game so far. We'll try the others this weekend. The controls did not seem as responsive as with other games. I had hoped for a little better with this game. Curling is probably the top pick for me and my wife.
