Deca Sports for Nintendo Wii Review
Hidey-ho gamers! Uncle Grant back this week with another big gaming release… Deca Sports for the Nintendo Wii. So blow the dust off your Wii-mote and sit right back… because it’s go time.
Lately there’s been a real backlash against the poor little Nintendo Wii, and I think that’s a damn shame. Sure, it might not load up your new-fangled Call of Grand Theft Gears Hero 3. Sure, it’s better at so-called “casual gaming” than it is at quote-unquote “serious gaming”, whatever THAT is. But for the fun factor, the Wii’s like your good-time buddy that always stops by with a 12 of Miller High Life. Cheap and fun. So what’s wrong with that?
Hudson Soft agrees, and that’s why we’ve got Deca Sports, which is an almost ridiculously fun ten-pack of sports games ideal for people that have Wii Bowled themselves out of gaming entirely. This edition brings you such sports as volleyball, basketball, snowboarding, kart racing, and a slew of others. And while you won’t have to worry about whether or not the players faces are photo rendered and accurate down to the nose hairs… you will be relieved to know this is the most damn fun I’ve had Wii-ing since I unboxed the thing. Seriously, this game is pure joy wrapped up in a thirty dollar box.
Alright, you say, it’s a Wii game — it probably looks like crap. Well, yes and no. Honestly, the biggest problem with Deca is the controls are sometimes a little difficult to get used to, particularly in the curling and figure skating categories. Some stuff you’ve just got to let go.
All in all, though, if you like Wii Sports and want more variety, give this game a hard look. Deca Sports isn’t going to blow you away with its realism, but it’s a more than suitable successor to the Fun Crown.
Later, gamers!
