Amazon.com Review Play your favorite sports like a pro with the Ultimotion Swing Zone Sports video game. This fun and entertaining interactive video game will have your five- to 10-year-old child hitting home runs like a champ, tossing a football like a quarterback, and acing their opponents on the tennis court in no time flat. 
The game controllers look like real sports equipment. View larger. |  | What We Think Fun Factor: 
Durability:  (what this means)
The Good: Allows you to control the sports action with your own movements
The Bad: Requires a lot of space for play
In a Nutshell: Gives young kids the chance to practice their favorite sports moves | At a Glance Ages: 5 and up Requires: Two AAA batteries, four AA batteries and a television |  | | Let The Games Begin! With the Swing Zone Sports video game, your child can get right in the middle of the action. The set-up is simple, and with five different sports challenges to choose from, the fun will last for hours . To get started, simply insert two AAA batteries into the game controller, four AA batteries into the game console, and hook it up to your television with the AV cable provided. Give your child plenty of room to perform all of their favorite sports action and watch as they shine like a sports star. Your child can choose from one of six sports competitors and games: tossing footballs like a quarterback at moving targets; throwing strikes as they bowl 10 frames in the bowling challenge; serving and returning smash hits on the tennis court; teeing up for a round of golf or hitting home runs for points on the baseball diamond; and more. Each sports challenge comes with the option of one or two players, with high scores recorded so your little athlete can keep track of their progress. Adding to the fun are the lightweight, plastic game controller accessory handles, individually designed to look like real sports equipment. Get Off The Couch And Into The Action! Once you have connected the Swing Zone Sports game console to your television, take a moment to sync it to the hand-held game controller. This may take a few tries of pushing the right buttons, but once the status indicator on the game controller begins flashing, your child is ready to go. Be sure to give them plenty of room to play (at least eight feet of space) so they can safely mimic real sports motions like tossing and swinging. And remember to keep the adjustable wrist strap securely wrapped around each player's wrist during play as forgetting to do so might result in them loosing their grip during the exciting action. A fun and entertaining way to learn basic athletic moves, the Swing Zone Sports video game engages your younger child with bright graphics and simple but fun sports challenges. The variety of activities combined with the entertaining choices of sports characters and the durable plastic accessory handles makes this video game fun and engaging for young players. What's in the Box Game console with a/v cable, game controller, and five controller accessory handles.
Product Description Use this set of wireless motion-controlled accessories to swing, roll, putt, serve and pass your way through five all-star sports challenges.

Perfect gift for my nephew's birthday! September 21, 2009 Lenard McLean (Jacksonville NC) Alright - let me state the obvious facts first.
- 1 This game is clearly meant to be an inexpensive alternative to the unbelievably high-priced, ever-popular Wii.
- 2 It obviously ISN'T a Wii.
- 3 You can NOT buy additional games for this system.
- 4 This is likely an item best suited for kids and young teens.
Now that we have that out of the way - this is a VERY nice game for the entire family to enjoy together. It is simple enough that a 5 year old child could play it, but it can be challenging enough to entertain mom and dad.
This game DOES require both AA and AAA batteries. You can use rechargeables to save cash.
The controller seems to be fairly responsive to movement - though exact form is NOT really important. But that's perfect for entertaining kids without frustrating them too much.
I purchased this for my 8 year old nephew, and he absolutely loves it.
One added benefit is that it gets kids up and moving. Plus it costs a fraction of the Wii's price tag.
This is a cool toy for the entire family to enjoy together.
Never worked September 14, 2009 Patricia Carey (Kenosha, WI) I never got a chance to use the game never worked, and by the time I used it, it was too late to return it.
I was shocked August 27, 2009 Blessed Sinfonian (Charlotte, NC United States) Well I work at a discount store and we have a Wii on display. I usually get to work early and play Mario tennis on it and enjoy it. But I know I don't play enough to buy the Wii or the sports package so I was like let me see how this system is and if I don't like it I'll just return it. I have to admit I was chocked when I started playing it. No the graphics are not as good as the Wii but what do you expect with a fraction of the cost. I actually enjoy playing the games especially the bowling, tennis and golf and I am a grown man. I feel this game is a good investment for people who like interactive games like this but realize they wont play it enough to put all that money into a Wii system. I had trouble with getting synced up once but all you have to do is look on the back side of the base and follow the directions and with in a min I was back up and running.

product as advertised--arrived in timely manner
I enjoy shopping at amazon.com knowing the order will be filled correctly, shipped well and in a short period of time
Fun on a budget August 14, 2009 A. Morant I purchased this item after reading other reviews and can truly say this purchase is worth it. We had some problems resyncing the game but overall after one or two tries we are up and running. My kids enjoy this game alot(mostly golf) and I am waiting to take it on a road trip for a time diversion. I truly enjoy having this game and all the benefits of not spending a large amount of money based on the economy.I can truly say as a family we have and will continue to utilize the game for exercise and fun for awhile. The baseball game could have been a little more interesting other than homerun derby and the football is a little challenging at first but overall this is well worth the money spent.
