    Deca Sports Freedom is merely an O.K effort and one that fails to ignite any real passion.

    Sports Island Freedom is a bad game. This Hudson's franchise wasn't good on the Wii, and now it's really clumsy even on Xbox 360, due to its control problems. The sports selection is quite good, but the final result doesn't match Kinect Sports'.

    Awkwardness abounds in this messy Kinect sports collection.

    If you were to judge the capabilities of Kinect based solely on Sports Island Freedom, you'd be likely to think the device was a horrible failure. The menu is a mess that's hard to navigate, and things just go downhill from there. The controls are awful across almost all disciplines. Get Kinect Sports instead.

    Creatively and conceptually bankrupt.

    Hey everyone, DarkZX here, I just want to say before you read this review, this game will piss you off in so many ways imaginable. AnywaysHey everyone, DarkZX here, I just want to say before you read this review, this game will piss you off in so many ways imaginable. Anyways continuing, the game introduces 10 sports, all of which are hard to play due to horrible controls. It was a ridiculous excuse for an idea that has been overused many many times. The only reason I am not giving this game a 0 or a 1 is because it is a good filler game (game to let out your anger on while waiting for a new game). There isn't anything else to say about this game.

    Final Rating: 21/100
    Consensus: Don't buy it.... seriously buy another game that actually has a little something called good controls.

I wasWhen I first threw this game into my 360, I was a little excited...I wanted to see if a game with varying sports had any sort of depth. I was sincerely let down, the game lacks any linear gameplay, you can fight and play against the same opponents over and over again, mainly because defeating a character does not push you forward, instead you go back to the menu screen where you can again choose play.

    The controls, what to say about the controls...well first of all, I am not sure what XBOX was doing allowing this game to hit the market. I have seen the Hudson logo before, but this time I acquainted anger with its presence. Half of my 30 minutes of play were trying to navigate back and forth through the menus while aiming at the right options. Some options you hover over take a second or two to choose. Others just click as soon as you pass over them so you are stuck trying to go manipulate the hand to go around certain options very slowly.pfffft.

    DarkZX said it well. This is by far the worst game I have ever played. I bought 5 kinect games with my system and this is the first one I tried. (Deca Sports) I am hoping the others are better. Fingers crossed.10/100 and next time you beta test a game, please make sure you can navigate through the menu.    … Expand
