Hi!

I purchased ULTIMOTION - Swing Zone Sports on Saturday, Dec. 20, 2008 and thought I’d give you my impressions.

I preface my comments knowing this game is mainly for kids 5 years and age through early teen years, although it is billed as a game everyone in the family can play.

The game does provide some light diversion, but has only short-term replay value.

The Super Nintendo-like graphics are near-ancient, but certainly good enough for the younger market. It doesn’t detract from the gameplay.

While the system does retain records for 4 of the 5 sports (why not tennis?), it really falls short because there are only two avatars available in each sport. What happens is after a few days, all ten slots are filled with the same avatar. The ability to create names for each player should have been a given. So no one knows who’s records are who’s. This is a huge error in design.

Also, as with the Nintendo Wii, the peripheral add-ons (tennis racket, bowling ball, etc.) add nothing to the game play experience. Without them, the price of the system could have been far less, or at the very least, more moderate.

BASEBALL

This was a huge disappointment. Every hit is an automatic home run; either that or you swing and miss. No challenge. Very little skill involved. No reason to play this game a second time. A wasted effort.

TENNIS

The only sport in the package without noticeable shortcomings. Plays well with a nice selection of shots. Yet the system won’t keep records/achievements.

BOWLING

Should have been the most popular game, but it has noticeable drawbacks. The player has no control over the speed of the throw. The ball rolls very, very slowly. Also, about every second ball toss, the system stops play to say “Too early” or “Too late.” This is thoroughly annoying. Instead of stopping play, just let the ball roll, and if it’s a bad toss, let the results speak for themselves.

GOLF

An interesting game, but the tiny dots bunched too closely together indicating where to hit the ball are not good indicators. Why aren’t we told how many yards are left to the hole? And why are we not given any indicators on the slope of the greens?

FOOTBALL

Interesting for a minute or two. But after that, there is no replay value.

Thank you for listening. I believe my comments are valid and hope you incorporate my suggestions in your next effort. Good concept though.

I need the instruction book for the ULTIMOTION swing zone game as i can not get the game to work.I have replaced all the batteries but can't get the game to select the game.
