Sports Champions Critic Reviews

But is Sports Champions a "killer app?" Not exactly, but, as you might guess, the multiplayer is a lot more fun than single-player.

I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the precise, enjoyably implemented motion controls and event variety totally sold me.

Sports Champions is a great pack-in for Move and well worth buying on its own if you go the a la carte route with the hardware. You'll spend a good chunk of each day playing it and hoping for a sequel.

There's a surprising amount of gameplay here. There are six sports and countless difficulty levels for each. This will keep you training for weeks.

Champions' exists to show off what the PlayStation Move can do. In that regard, the mission is accomplished.

Although Sports Champions houses only a handful of events, with the type of events on offer, teamed with the number of modes and challenges easily makes this game a wholeheartedly recommended instant purchase along with your Move Motion controller.

So does it feel like Wii Sports? Certainly not. The better graphics, more responsive motion controls and the different types of sports have created a unique experience that anyone would be proud to have on the PS3.

Exact, precise controls.

At the end of the day, Sports Champions is a must have release game for the PlayStation Move that captures the potential of this new control system perfectly for the PlayStation 3.

As a whole, I really was impressed by this game.

Sports Champions impressively shows what Move can do in six different sport themes. Still, we're waiting for the killer application like a Jedi lightsaber, a Kingdom Hearts keyblade or an Indy Jones whip.

The only significant criticism we can make of Sports Champions is its limited number of sporting events. That said, having six sporting events that are nailed as well as they are in Sports Champions is infinitely preferable to ten sloppily designed ones. When all's said and done, it's the pick of Sony's launch line-up for PlayStation Move.

It's priced well (at around £25), offers lots of gameplay and a couple of real gems.

Fantastic showcase for Move.

It's the perfect game to bundle with the hardware, since it gives you enough gameplay and variety to keep you engaged long enough for Sony to cook up something else compelling to do with your Move controller.

Sports Champions provides a terrific introduction to Move for both hardcore and casual gamers. The game is at its best when played with others; however, the single-player experience leaves a bit to be desired.

As essentially a "pack-in" title with the Move, it is a great showcase. The sports offered highlight the range of movements the Move supports, and the simple games and challenges have that addictive quality that keeps you coming back to them.

Sports Champions is a solid piece of entertainment that gives us a glimpse of what is to come. You really do have to "move" and many of the available events highlight Move's super advanced reliability, precision, and responsiveness.

Sports Champions is to the PlayStation Move what Wii Sports is to the Nintendo Wii. It serves as an easily accessible, enjoyable way to show off the motion tech, while offering up some competition using sports that most people will be familiar with.

Sports Champions may not be the most innovative game, to demonstrate the abilities of PlayStation Move, but what it does do is show how incredibly well Move can work.
