Racquet SportsSCORE: 69I normallyenjoy Ubisoftvideo games.One that is onthe Wii andPlaystation 3hits a wide audience.Maybethat wideaudience canget some exercisethanksto RacquetSports. Butlike so manyvideo games on the market today,there are some problems withit as well. I will get <strong>in</strong>to that <strong>in</strong>just a few words. But first a wordfrom our sponsors (just kidd<strong>in</strong>g).The five sports <strong>in</strong> Racquet Sportsare tennis, squash, p<strong>in</strong>g pong,badm<strong>in</strong>ton, and beach tennis.So every s<strong>in</strong>gle sport <strong>in</strong> RacquetSports is of the racquet variety.I purchased the PS3 version forthis review.The graphics conta<strong>in</strong>amaz<strong>in</strong>g details, and great scenery.I loved see<strong>in</strong>g the differentlocations we could play thesesports. The down side is RacquetSports is heavy <strong>in</strong> enticement tolust. One of the female characterslike to shake her beh<strong>in</strong>d as a celebration.This comes after everys<strong>in</strong>gle time you score a po<strong>in</strong>t.Yeah I got pretty tired of her act<strong>in</strong>glike she was <strong>in</strong> a rap video.The voices <strong>in</strong> RacquetSports fit different stereotypes.The video game <strong>in</strong>dustry has areal problem with this. It has notmatured past us<strong>in</strong>g certa<strong>in</strong> k<strong>in</strong>dsof extreme types of personalities.And don’t expect the k<strong>in</strong>d grandmother,or the happy SundaySchool teacher either. The musicis adequate, and honestly enjoyable.There are various unlockablesand different sett<strong>in</strong>gs<strong>in</strong> Racquet Sports. Some of thoseare difficulty sett<strong>in</strong>gs. The problemis there are only five sports<strong>in</strong> Racquet Sports. After sw<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>gmy arm around for one, I was lessthrilled at do<strong>in</strong>g it for the second.Let alone the third, fourth, andf<strong>in</strong>al sports. There is sadly verylittle diversity to Racquet Sports.The good news is you can get differentattire for the characters. Tobe honest I am not sure if it wasbetter or worse. At times it wasjust different colors.Sw<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g the Move Wandis a very easy activity. I had noproblems with how RacquetSports controls. I did get someexercise while play<strong>in</strong>g RacquetSports. I also found some fun tobe had, especially when I pickeda character who was not shak<strong>in</strong>gher groove th<strong>in</strong>g at me.So often here at <strong>Family</strong><strong>Friendly</strong> <strong>Gam<strong>in</strong>g</strong> we reviewgames that are not black orwhite. They are not pure good, orpure evil. We avoid the pure evilgames as muchas possible. RacquetSports is agame with somegood and somebad. You can getexercise, andhave some limitedfun. Thereare down sidesto this game aswell.- PaulPublisher: UbisoftSystem: Wii/PS3Rat<strong>in</strong>g: ‘E’ - Everyone{Mild Suggestive Themes}Graphics: 59%Sounds: 77%Replay/Extras: 71%Gameplay: 79%<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Friendly</strong> Factor: 61%<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Friendly</strong> <strong>Gam<strong>in</strong>g</strong> 30
