Some games are fun, but overall a poor package.Nov 05, 2010
By Tom Tweed

UPDATE: A small patch came in today, and the motion controls seem somewhat better, and difficulty appears somewhat tweaked.. esp. in boxing. There may be other fixes, but I'll up from 2-3 stars.
It seems that much like with the Wii launch some developers have made some inferior games to cash in. I would place Motionsports in this category.
There are some fun games in here so it's not a complete disaster.
On the good side -
Skiing Equestrian Hanggliding Football
are all decent although football and equestrian are almost "turn based" (seems as this was a design decision not a function of the hardware) as you must perform your move well before the motion actually happens which is odd since Skiing and hanggliding are both extremely responsive.
On the diaster/broken mechanics side I would place Boxing and Soccer. Boxing difficulty seems ridiculous. You can connect with many punches on just the second boxer after the "tutorial" boxer and if he hits you a couple of times you're going down. In soccer the setup for kicking the ball pretty much breaks the gameplay as it is extremely difficult to tell where exactly on your floor you need to kick. It does say "shoot" but only for a very brief moment.
There is also no online multiplayer (I believe there is in Microsoft sports) so the game gets a negative there.
Also, there is no broader game.. would be nice if they could have included some sort of party game setup so the minigames don't feel so detached.

Not much to the gameNov 13, 2010
By Connie D. Pileggi
"wii addict"
This game was terrible. It doesn't been have any full games to play, just little activities from within different sports. A waste of money. Stick with kinect sports

nah, not worth itNov 06, 2010

Do not buy this game. I just got the Kinect and wanted to try a sports title.. unfortunately I bought this game and was very disappointed! If you finish any stage in the game you have to start over just to try and continue (how dumb is that ubisoft?)
Do yourself a favor and spend your money on another title related to sports.

Could be a lot betterNov 07, 2010
By Sphynx
"The man!"
This game was very frustrating at first. There two things I found you have to do with this game:
1. It does not work in the Kinect good zone. You have to have more space. It was cutting off my feet until I moved the couch and didn't respond to most jumps.
2. You have to actually watch the demos and do exactly as shown in the demo. For example in the football crouch you have to actually put your hands on the ground.
So the controls in this one are not very intuitive on this game. It definitely needs to be more forgiving. I don't like that it forces you to unlock everything. You have to go through these lame scenarios to get to the ones that are actually worthwhile. This game really seems like they mostly built half a game, or may be a quarter of a game. Like some demos they through together.
It's still somewhat fun and a good workout, but probably best to spend your money on something else.

Delay and painfulNov 06, 2010
By Matt First I went through a 30 minute dance trying to get the sensor to pick me up, which I did not have to go through this with other games. There is a major delay between action and input, for football I was 10 yards in front of a marker I had to duck under so I crouched down, and even after waiting for 4 seconds for my player to crouch it still did not. Bad game save your money, save your time, save your sanity.
I bought this game from Walmart and I cannot return it so I guess I got taken.
