Racquet Sports
SCORE: 69
I normally enjoy Ubisoft video games. This game is on the Wii and Playstation 3 so it can hit a wide audience. Maybe that wide audience can get some exercise thanks to Racquet Sports. But like so many video games on the market today, there are some problems with it as well. I will get into that in just a few words. But first a word from our sponsors (just kidding). The five sports in Racquet Sports are tennis, squash, ping pong, badminton, and beach tennis. So every single sport in Racquet Sports is of the racquet variety. I purchased the PS3 version for this review.
The graphics contain amazing details, and great scenery. I loved seeing the different locations we could play these sports. The down side is Racquet Sports is heavy in enticement to lust. One of the female characters like to shake her behind as a celebration. This comes after every single time you score a point. Yeah I got pretty tired of her acting like she was in a rap video.
The voices in Racquet Sports fit different stereotypes. The video game industry has a real problem with this. It has not matured past using certain kinds of extreme types of personalities. And don’t expect the kind grandmother, or the happy Sunday School teacher either. The music is adequate, and honestly enjoyable.
There are various unlockables and different settings in Racquet Sports. Some of those are difficulty settings. The problem is there are only five sports in Racquet Sports. After swinging my arm around for one, I was less thrilled at doing it for the second. Let alone the third, fourth, and final sports. There is sadly very little diversity to Racquet Sports. The good news is you can get different attire for the characters. To be honest I am not sure if it was better or worse. At times it was just different colors.
Swinging the Move Wand is a very easy activity. I had no problems with how Racquet Sports controls. I did get some exercise while playing Racquet Sports. I also found some fun to be had, especially when I picked a character who was not shaking her groove thing at me.
So often here
at Family Friendly Gaming we review games that are not black or white.
They are not pure good, or pure evil. We avoid the pure evil games as
much as possible. Racquet Sports is a game with some good and some bad.
You can get exercise, and have some limited fun. There are down sides to
this game as well.
