I was warned yesterday this may be a possibility, but I didn't want to break your hearts until I was sure — This Week's Saturday Gaming page in the Poughkeepsie Journal has been washed out. There just isn't enough space in our section this week.
So, I have this review of "Deca Sports" all ready to go and written, and I have two options — I can post it all here in one big review post, or I can hold on to it for a week and use it in Next Saturday's Gaming page.
I'm going to compromise. Since this game just came out this week and some of you may be waiting to read about it before picking it up, I will give you the briefest of reviews here:
"Deca Sports," which features 10 different sports mini-games all packaged together with a retail price of $29.99, is not a game for anyone over the age of 10. Anyone under 10 will enjoy this, as 4 or 5 of the 10 games will keep the youngsters occupied for days, and the kids can go on thinking how they have a game for all these different sports and be happy with it.
But, for anyone over 10-years-old, you will see the IMMEDIATE flaws with the basketball and soccer games, get tired of volleyball and badminton, and realize there are much better racing games out there. Now, I do recommend this as a game you may want to rent one rainy afternoon with three friends and competing, because many of the games will keep older gamers' attentions for an afternoon. But even at the $29.99 price, it's not worth a purchase for you.
