GDN:
Before I say anything else, I should be clear; I do not mind the existence of 'Wii casual games.' Done well, they can be fun. Done competently, they can be useful tech-demos of what sort of potential the Wii has. Done badly, they can be rip-offs that try to take advantage of the success of Wii Sports... and the problem with Deca Sports 2 is that it falls into the 'bad' category. The Wii has been on the market for a few years now, and there is no excuse for having bad motion controls at this point. Forget going toe-to-toe with Wii Sports (the original, not Resort)... this game is actually inferior.
"Most of us have played Deca Sports. And most of us agree that the franchise is incredibly inane. Yet Hudson continues to plague the Wii, DS, and even the Xbox 360 with increasingly lame installments of its sports collection titles. When will Hudson learn that no one cares about that poor series?" - BrightHub.com
If they're making the games, clearly someone is buying them. But it sure ain't me.
Gamertell has compiled a list of eight sports-related games to help readers feel more "sporty and competitive."
The list include PS2, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, iPhone and iPod Touch games.
DIG writes: "Hudson joined the Wii Sports mini-game fray with a much closer facsimile than most: Deca Sports. To be honest, I took a pass on the game. Like most of these, I'd rather just stick to Nintendo's waggle centric line-up. Most of these mini-game collections either over or underestimate the Wii remote's sensitivity. Deca Sports 2 doesn't do much to change my opinion though it does have one stand out game that's missing from Nintendo's lineup."
