Pros: Physical activity, wonderful sports games
Cons: Graphics
Summary: This is best video game I had ever seen. I agree the graphics is not top of line if you use 1080P but the best part is it allows you have games with physical activity. That was the big reason, I got it for my Kid but later I realized that I am playing it ... read more
