This is a fun game but some of the controls are hard. My brother bought this game for the Wii; he thought some of the games where hard, but I liked them. I think this game is good for some 6 year olds and up.

This game is a waste. I was expecting a lot more along the lines of wii sports. Man was I disappointed. The controls are horrible and the games lack everything that makes wii sports great. If I had to do over again I wouldn't have purchased this game. It collects dust now.

I gave five stars based on the certain awesome aspects of a badminton gameplay.

Pros.
1. In tournament mode,the game is getting harder and harder with the more time you spend playing the game. The computer A.I. can play like a real Olympic player.
2. A practice mode is good enough for a quick learning.
3. Here is why I gave it 5 stars. It is possible to
3.1 fake drop shot
3.2 dive in every directions to receive a smash
3.3 Drop return a thunder smash and win the point
3.4 Smash hard onto the fallen opponent
3.5 Loft a birdie far from the fallen opponent
3.6 Jump smash a high serve

Cons.
1. Swing time in the gameplay lag quite a bit behind that of wii-remote
2. The direction of shots is not 95% controllable depending on the position of the player and a swing time. It requires some practices to master a swing time and a direction control. If one gets used to it, the game will get very intense and incredibly fun when you play with an intermediate to excellent skill-level A.I.

3. A.I. at its excellent performance level is almost impossible to beat but it is still fun to play with it

4. Drop shot does not work all the time if the wii mote is not moved hard enough.
5. The position of the player should be able to be slightly adjusted.

I Enjoy It

I think this is a good "expansion" to the games that come with Wii Sports. Theres some fun new sports to try. And you can definately play them for a while. Each of them take some time to understand and the directions take a while to master but once you get the hang of it its alot of fun! I wouldn't recommend to young kids who can't grasp directions well, it even took me a while to learn how to do somethings correctly :-).

good, but ....

Deca Sports

I bought this game for my grandchildren, who enjoyed it very much. The variety of sports is wonderful. I have to say that I have enjoyed playing the game myself. Great for all ages.

Be a kid again!

These games are fun and challenging! You will enjoy every minute that you and your family or friends are playing. Laughter prevails while watching each other attempt to "be the best." You won't regret buying this item.

If you love Badminton, you will love this game.

I first played this game at my brother's place and I couldn't wait to get my own. I am a big fan of Badminton, and actually I am a semi-pro badminton player myself. What do I have to say is that the badminton game feels like a REAL game, and the controls feels like you are swinging a real racket. Since you are not controlling the movements of the player, you will need to be patient not to swing too early, i.e., wait till the player closer to the birdie to smash or drop. What is really satisfying is that you can even deliver a faked smash, jumping high in the air to fake the smash, but drop the birdie. While receiving the drop, you may drop back or return it far to the back court, just like play a REAL game!!! This is so fun and both my brother and I got sore arms after playing a very tense game.

All in all, I love BADMINTON and the Deca Sports simulates it VERY well, and I really enjoyed it.

Frustrated but willing to try it again

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.

Easy and more Fun than I expected.

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.
