Two dollars per sport is hard to beat

Amazon's latest Deal of the Day is once again a Wii game, this time Hudson's cute sports minigame collection Deca Sports for $19.98. If you've been searching for a Wii curling game to play with your friends, with occasional breaks for figure skating, this is the game for you. We can't offer you an unqualified recommendation: our impressions of four of the games were quite positive, but reviews have been less than enthusiastic. It's fairly popular, for what that's worth!

We can never talk about Deca Sports without mentioning its super-upbeat, catchy theme song. The game came out in May and we still get the song stuck in our heads!

I dont care if it is $19.98 its shovelware and if people keep buying these Wii Sports ripoffs these companies are gonna keep making more.

I thought this game would be a spiritual successor to Wii Sports, but it was pretty terrible. Everything felt incredibly awkward. It's true, it is shovelware. It may have undone a lot of the progress Wii Sports made in getting my husband into games. =P

Rented it and returned it within an hour. Despite my love and adoration for Hudson, this really isn't a good game. It's very bad. Figure Skating was the best event, but really, Sonic and Mario at the Olympics is MUCH better and WiiSports is MUCH better than that.

I really bought this game because of how its been hyped by you ninfanboy people, and regretted it the second I tryed to hit something in badminton.. mostly because it took 2 more seconds until my hit actually registered.. and then I tryed the other sports in there... so bad.. I was so sucked up into buying this junk.

I can't believe you're still giving it some hype now, how much did they paid you to do it?

Now that I think about it, I definitely wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't kept reading about it here on WFB. And the only other site I can remember seeing the game mentioned on is GoNintendo and they post everything that has anything to do with Nintendo, including shovelware boxart and stuff.

Way to let me down, WiiFanboy.
