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!

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.

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 :-).

This is a good game

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.

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.

Deca Sports
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.

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.

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.
