for $40 you would think that the software would work with your controllers well if you move to fast it just stops in badminton and volley ball (which is the reason why i purchase this game over deca sport and big beach sport. i just wish i rented this game instead of purchasing it. not worth the money by any means
What's great about it: variety of games
What's not so great: poor controller interaction - difficult game play
