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 :-).

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.

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.
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.

Deca Sports gives you 10 different games to play. I've found that everyone finds at least two games they enjoy. Each game has only a few commands to learn, but when you try to learn all the movements for all the games in one day it can leave you frustrated. One of the biggest advantages of these games is that multiple players can play at the same time. Nothing better then a little family competition(?). There's not as much physical movement for the players as I would have liked to see, but the games are fun.
good, but ....

I liked very much the games, but I can play with other persons. I will try to contact the technical assistance to solve this problem.
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.
Boring - Rental only if curious

They tried hard, but failed. The idea is there, but if ANY developer is looking for what casual gamers liked in Wii Sports it would be a first person feel, or at least a very close third person.
There are many different menu choices, single & multi player of course, also practice area, locker room to know your high scores, etc.
All games make you choose your team players on a choice of about eight different teams, each team is known for power, speed, or balanced, all guys, all girls, etc.
What is great is each game has a tutorial and practice for each part of the learning. Such as just learning to shoot hoops by yourself for basketball, or just how to steal, etc.
Each games gives you choices of how long of a game, how hard a course, sudden death, etc. You also choose how smart to make the AI.
Badmitten & Volleyball - the camera angle is in the audience.
Kart Racing & Motorcross - boring tracks, clunky controls
Snowboarding - only game w/good graphics, too boring be great if it had obstacles like snowman like in Wii's Super Monkey Ball's mini game.
Basketball & Soccer - pass between your players & audience camera
Figure Skating - follow the yellow dots like Pac Man & flick your remote when you hit a colored circle... woo hoo.
Archery - tiny target, has wind & even a timer for each shot. the timer helps, but still boring.
Curling - ?? slow-motion bocce ball
find video reviews in many places like youtube
Fun

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.
