Combining ten sporting events into one addicting and fun-filled game, Deca Sports offers various events like: Beach Volleyball, Snowboard Cross, Badminton, Basketball, Curling, Figure Skating, Archery, Supercross, Soccer and Kart Racing.
Each sport in the game uses the Wii Remote. With a subtle swing of the Wii Remote players can hit and spike the ball in Beach Volleyball, while twists of the wrist produce a wild ride down the slopes in Snowboard Cross. In Figure Skating players need to keep to the music and properly time all of their jumps and spins in order to impress the judges while passing the ball and lining up shots is essential in Soccer. All ten sports support both single player and multiplayer modes, in addition to a training mode to practice essential skills.
Move your body, or not, in this Deca Sports video review:
To quote the video review: “Wii Sports has long been a dominating force in showing off the versatility of the Wii’s remote and nunchuck. The playability across its five events has made it a part of pop culture lexicon. It also has the advantage of being free. It was only a matter of time before the imitators showed up and recently Sega and EA have both taken a stab at the formula with mixed results. Next up is Hudson’s Deca Sports. Featuring an odd mix of events, where does it fall in the pecking order of athletic endeavors on the Wii?
Wii Sports is still the reigning champion when it comes to party sports games. Deca Sports is, if anything, a distraction, and worth renting if friends are coming over. Those with sore elbows from Wii Sports addiction will be enticed by its discounted price, but keep going for the cross-court winner while the wait goes on for a successor.”
