A Decent Minigame Compilation, the best in the series thus far, though that doesnt really say much...

There is really noting to spoil about the game. Essentially it is just a minigame compilation that is budget priced and attempts to bring a new and fresh take to the world of motion sports. DECA Sports 2 features ten new sports such as Ice Hockey, Dodge Ball, Tennis, Darts, Speed Skating, Mogul Skiing, Petanque (throwing a jack, then throw balls to get them as close as possible to the jack), Kendo, Motorcycle Road Racing, and Synchronized Swimming. The good thing and bad thing about these types of games is that there are a large number of events that can cater to a large number of people, but there are also a large number of events that wont appeal to people. For example, I feel that Kendo, Petanque, and Tennis were awesome events, but Synchronized Swimming, Motorcycle Road Racing, and Ice Hockey were quite boring or difficult to grasp the controls. The games are fun and probably the most intense is Tennis.

Ultimately there is fun here for people who like multiplayer games, there is an online component but I do not really think it is all that fun to play online when there is no voice chat, text chat, or even any other way to interact with the other person. I could see that it was a great addition, but like other games, the fun here is had when you play with other people who are live.

The only other thorn here is the odd presentation. The only voice like sounds are those made from the character grunting and what not, but there is no announcer guy or lady, which makes the game feel empty at times. Of course this is a small point if you're having fun and laughing/trash talking a friend, but it would have been nice. Visually, the game looks like a game from the middle of the gamecube life cycle, flat textures, bland moments, and jagged lines are all present. But this is excusable for a budget priced title.

Ultimately there are some golden jewels in this game and it wont disappoint if you are looking for a game that is fun right off the bat. Sure it wont be a single player game to last you for years, but for kids of all ages and adults it is one of those games that provides some fun for the family and friends.
