Sports Champions 2
SCORE: 76
Sports Champions 2 is an improvement over the original game. With that said the franchise still has a few issues. This time we have Skiing, Tennis, Boxing, Bowling, Golf, and Archery to play in this PS3 Move home console video game. Archery is the only “sport” that makes a return in Sports Champions 2. Although Table Tennis and Tennis are pretty close.
Boxing in Sports Champions 2 is the most vicious of any of the activities. Boxing is less vicious than the Gladiator Duel in the first game. So that is a neat little baby step in the right direction. The activities in Sports Champions 2 are better than the first one in my humble opinion.
The same wonderful gloss and shine is seen in the graphics of Sports Champions 2. There are still female characters dressed with very little clothing that is ultra skin tight. Can’t our industry mature past using women as objects of lust? I hope to see that improved in a sequel. Since I expect Sony to continue on this franchise.
The audio department has been improved in Sports Champions 2, and that is great to see. The instructions always make sense, even if they can be difficult to implement. More to come on that very soon. The music in Sports Champions 2 got me pumped up for the different activities.
Expect a work out if you play Sports Champions 2 for a few hours. The Archery frustrated me beyond belief so often. I get the reach back and hit a button. But the game did not always recognize this. Which means I had to do it a second time. The controls in Skiing are just messed up. I’m sorry not being able to turn and crouch at the same time is just wrong. Bowling and Golf felt off by just a bit. Tennis controls masterfully - the best of the bunch.

Champions 2 is more traditional sports than the first one. I picked this
game up on a Black Friday sale for review in the e-magazine. Multiple
family members have gotten some exercise and entertainment thanks to
Sports Champions 2 on the PS3. I hope to see continued improvement in
next years installment.
