Wii Deca Sports 2 4 out of 5

This is a fun game. The tennis is far more realistic than the tennis that comes with Wii Sports when you purchase your Wii. This is a really fun game to play online. Since it's so cheap, it's easy to convince your family and friends to purchase the game and play with you online. The game is great to play with other people, but not as much fun if you're playing the computer.


Deco Sports 2 A dissapointment 2 out of 5

I was excited to get this game because of the list of sports and the cover art. I thought it would be more like Sports Resort where you could use your Mii to play the game. The games are weak, the graphics are weak. I was very dissapointed. I instantly lost interest in the game the instant I worked my way through the main screen and played the first game. I have had it about a month now and I still havent played all the games on Deco Sports 2 as it sits on my shelf collecting dust.Rent before you buy.


Fun Game. Kid Friendly. Family time. 4 out of 5

My family really enjoys playing this game together. It feels like we bought a bunch of games and we can switch games without the trouble of turning off and switching discs. I feel comfortable letting thie kids play alone but mostly its family fun. Grandpa has been able to join in because there are games which do not require too much physical effort. I would recommend this if you are looking for family time with kids between 5 and 12.


Good, but not as Good as the original 4 out of 5

We were excited when this came out because we loved Deca Sports. Some games are really fun (hockey, motorcyle racing, tennis, dodgeball), and some are just okay. There is one game (if you play the deca challenge) that kind of annoys you because it takes so long to finish. But most of them go by fast so you can finish the challenge in an hour or less. I love how you can create your own team. Also, if there are two people who have created there own teams, both can be used in 2 player mode. I would suggest buying this if you liked the original even though it isn't quite as fun.


Lame. 1 out of 5

If you're like me and you expect Deca Sports 2 (hereinafter DS2) to be be a lot like Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort (hereinafter WS/WSR), well, I'm sorry to report that it definitely...ain't.

As far as I'm concerned, a lot of the fun for me is the Miis. I have an awesome supporting cast, and love to watch them interact up in WS/WSR. Miss Sophia v. Robert Goulet in boxing? Love it. For that reason, games like this that don't support Miis automatically start off on the wrong foot. DS2's characters are relatively cute, but they're also pretty indistinct.

The controls in DS2 are pretty lame also. WS/WSR did a pretty good job making the controls reflect the real-life gestures. DS2 didn't. For instance, DS2's speed skating requires the player to flap the mote/nunchuck to coordinate with the athlete's *footing*. Footing? Speed skaters totally fling their arms, but I'm "trotting" hand controllers like feet? Ugh.

Okay, I'll be honest: I bought DS2 principally for the synchronized swimming -- I thought it would be hilarious at parties to watch my goofy friends mirror the swimmer's moves, but again, the controls amount to "flick the mote this way, flick it that way, whirl it in a circle." You can do it sitting down. Bah. Not what I had in mind. Not by a mile. The fact I used male swimmers was, however, good for a laugh.

The bright spots (such as they are) are kendo (Japanese swordfighting) and pétanque (like bocce ball), but even those aren't very much fun to play. The camera angle for kendo is a bird's-eye view, and tossing pétanque balls should be at least as responsive as Wii Sports' golf or bowling -- but isn't. If you're playing by yourself, the computer slooooowly takes its turn against you. Boring. Speed it up, yo!

I think the collection of games is conceptually great because there's little something for everyone. Use Miis, make the controls more like WS/WSR and add some balance board support and this thing could be a Rock Star. As is, it's slightly more fun than playing with a rock.
