Sports Champions is the launch game on the PS Move. The game features 6 different sports all with unique gameplay styles, these sports include: Disc Golf, Bocce, Table Tennis, Volley Ball, Archery and Gladiator Duel. In each sport your matches are graded out of 3 stars.The first sport i will start with is Gladiator Duel which is by far my favourite on the game. You have a sword and sheild and your aim is to knock out the other opponent or hit them out of the ring. The game is very tactical as you have to block and parry incoming attacks and aim your hits to precision. The accruacy is brilliant, your sword will hit where you want it and you can control your sheild easily, blocking high and low attacks.There is no lag throughout the duel and the graphics are fantastic. There are 3 tournaments to complete gradually increasing in difficulty, swords to unlock and outfits. With 11 matches in each tournament there is a lot of playing required to complete all of them.The second sport is Table Tennis. First to 7 points wins. Once again the accruacy on the controller is brilliant, you can easily put spin on your shots and you even have to move towards the camera if the ball lands near the net. It is very releastic, the ball sometimes hits the edge of your paddle and misses the table completly if you go for too much spin, and also unlick Wii Tennis your shots wont always hit the table. The graphics are again fantastic. As in every sport there are 3 tournaments, equipment unlocks and outfit unlocks. However, the difficulty increase from the first to second tournament is quite steep.The game also contains Archery. In Archery you are not always aiming for a target, in some matches you have to shoot fruit on stands at different heights and distances and in others you have to shoot falling money bags. Also one match is a game of connect three which is a very nice touch to the game. The aiming is very precise and the action of getting an arrow from your back and putting it on the bow is very releastic and makes the game more authentistic. With the game mode changing every match the sport never gets boring.Also on the game is Disc Golf. In this sport you have to throw a frisbee around a course and get it into a large metal basket, basically it is golf with a frisbee. The game tracks your hand movement very well, the frisbee is thrown depending on the angle of your hand and the power. Also you can choose from different frisbees for long drives or putters. The courses on the game are very detailed and have the best graphics on the game, the courses can vary from caves, to forests and even playground parks. Also Disc Golf is the best sport for multiplayer in my opinion, with up to 4 players the game can become very competative as well as fun.Bocce or Bowls is also included on the game. In Bocce you need to get your ball closest to the pallino (the small white ball). The game is not played on a normal bowls green but in playgrounds and broadwalks so there are obsatcles you need to dodge to get to the pallino. You can control the height, spin and power on your throw which is all tracked very well by the camera. With the surrondings and obstacles changing every round it never becomes repetative.The last sport is Volley Ball which is probably the poorest on the game. Graphically it is great, when you move your footprints come out in the sand which is a small touch but adds realism. However, the game gets boring very fast. It plays great and the movements in the game resemble real actions in real life Volley Ball but it just doesnt appeal and feels like the sport is lacking depth. With only new venues the game mode gets very repetative. Cooperative multiplayer provides good fun with a friend but Volley Ball Will be the sport you play the least.Overall Sports Champions is a great lauch game for Move which shows off the accruacy and power of the move controller, with over 30 matches in each sport to play there is a long single player and also split screen multiplayer provides lots of fun.4/5

Sports Champions is a 2010 sports video game developed by San Diego Studio and Zindagi Games and published for PlayStation 3 exclusively, which utilizes PlayStation Move to its full potential. The game can do 1:1 motions since it can track in 3D because the camera can judge the distance between the controller and camera based on the size of the sphere on the move controller.There are 6 games: Table tennis uses the Move controller very well, it can do 3D motion so you get full control of the the paddle and the game so it's possible for performing heavy spins, lobs and slams. I think this is the best game in Sports champion,the one you will play the longest and have most fun with.Beach Volleyball in this game you just play volleyball and doesn't use the 3d tracking like table tennis, it's mostly timing your movements right. This not really a fun game in her but i did play it a few times with friends which they thought was fun.Gladiator duel is one of thee better games and which kids and adults will enjoy. You enter the arena with an enemy(or a friend), you are given a sword and a shield and you can start dueling. You will lose in this game if you use weak flicks of the wrist, you really have to put your strength in it to win. This game is really fun and is a good workout.Disc golf is one of the games i kind of ignored but when i started playing i had a lot fun. Basically you have to throw a Frisbee down a golf like course, if you good enough at the game you can make the Frisbee go around corners and win in two goes. The move is tracked in 3d and detects the angle of the Frisbee, the power of the throw and the snap of the release. Everything is very realistic.Bocce is game where two people taking turns throwing wooden balls, the person who get their ball closer to the smaller, it fun as how I've described it, i found this game very boring. The Move detects the weight, spin and release of each throw, and then translates that into the direction and movement of the ball.Archery is a game which is very fun and very realistic, you can play this with one or two controllers i found it more fun with two, this one of the better games and is very fun.The game runs at 1080p, which is amazing all the backgrounds are very detailed and very realistic and all the lighting is very good. the music is very good and you can run your own custom music while you play which is good since a lot of ps3 games don't let you do that. i didn't like some of the character models since they were unrealistic and racial stereotypes.This game is the best move title right now i would really recommend it. I'm giving it a 7.5 out of 10.

Sports Champions is a showpiece for the PS3 Move controller and definitely demonstrates how good the hardware is. If you miss a ball in table tennis or fire your arrow out of the arena in archery, you never feel like it's the controller's fault - it's always your own.The disk has a decent selection of games, my personal favourite being disc golf and years of larking around with a Frisbee seem to have finally paid off with several aces to my name. Table tennis is a good workout but I tend to struggle with the backhand as moving my bat across to line up the shot often hits the ball accidentally but often the helpful CPU keeps it in play for you. As you move up through the championship,things do get a lot tougher with the assistance reduced though. Bocce (think boules) and archery make for good two player experiences; the archery in particular can be fast and furious with some inventive rounds such as Tic Tac Toe and a "push-of-war" type game. Gladiator is a bit limited and a certain combo of moves generally beats the comp but you'll work up a sweat here too. Like archery, this can be played with one or two controllers but it's definitely better with two. Volley ball is a bit strange, I put the controller down at one stage and the CPU carried on as if I wasn't there (again, over helpful but only in the early stages). It's probably the weakest of the games as the moves you need to make don't really reflect what you would do in real life.My main criticism of this game is that it's bit generic - the music is quite bland, ditto most of the scenery. There's a lot of browns on show here, put it that way. The playing characters are all "cool" (read uncool) but humourless college type kids who don't say a lot apart from the odd grunt or "Oh man". The unlockables are pretty uninspiring, often the same arenas but at night or dull t-shirts (woo!). It really needs a bit of Nintendo-ing to make it more "funner" and if you can get anywhere near a platinum on this you're or you're a better man than I am.Almost a must buy IF you have the Move controllers (note - nav controller not needed) already but I wouldn't splash out on them just to play this.

Purchased this game at the same time as the move starter pack and an additional move controller, quite an investment I know but for the cost of a meal and a few drinks in the local I thought why not!The game as a whole knocks the socks off any wii games I've played, the controllers are great to use and responsive and the set up easy. All the games have a set of characters you can choose from (about 12 I think) and Bronze, Silver and Gold level cups to unlock and compete for. Feedback on the individual games would be as follows:Archery: Brilliant fun with one or two controllers and likewise for one or two players, a pleasurable mix of challenges can keep you amused for a good long while which you'll want to return and do again,good accuracy with a steady hand and quite tiring for your strong arm!Bocce: Couldn't quite get the hang of this Boules/lawn bowls game so went back to what I was enjoying (archery and gladiator)Gladiator: My favourite, awesome using 2 controllers, one as your weapon and one as shield, you can ram your opponent with the shield to stun them and then slice and dice, very energetic so as a bit of a fitness freak I wanted to see how many calories I burned so wore my heart monitor whilst playing once, 600 calories an hour fighting an AI character in your living room is better than sitting on your sofa watching TV on a dark wet autumn eve!Beach Volley Ball: Fairly simple but again energetic, make sure your not playing near a ceiling light... ooops.Table tennis: Once you relax and try not to compare how real or unreal it is its good fun, I found it hard to master.Disc Golf: Great chilled out fun that's pretty realistic with how the frisbee responds! Fly it over and around obstacles like a golf course (as the name suggests), very enjoyable.All of the above are good fun to play with friends and family no matter how old or young, would recommend for an xmas present, maybe burn off some of those celebrations...I look forward to what the future brings for the move compatible games industry, I think this is just the beginning.

I've only had this game for a week, but so far I have really enjoyed it. I bought this as my first PS Move game based on the reviews saying it was the best game for the PS Move, and I'd definitely rate it about 4-4.5 stars from what I've seen so far. There's a good variety of games, from pretty relaxed (like the Bocce and Disc Golf) to very energetic (like Gladiator Duel). And the movements are pretty accurate as long as it's calibrated properly and the controllers are properly charged (one controller just got the battery low message and I noticed it wasnt picking up all my movements properly).Towards the end of the Silver Cups I've noticed the levels do get a lot more challenging,and it seems you have to be much more accurate with your moves. I was going from beating each person in one or two goes, to taking over 10-20 attempts to beat them (and I am still stuck on some of them). The room I play it in doesn't have a huge amount of space for all the games which makes some games a bit harder, but I'm sure lot of it is technique as well. But when you can't beat them you can always practice on an easier opponent, or go to the multiplayer or challenge modes which are good. And you earn trophies when you complete different challenges, so once you do beat all the levels you can try and get all the trophies too which looks like it unlocks other character or levels.I've still got a lot of it to complete, but overall it's a very good and fun game for any age. Though as I read on some Youtube reviews you should probably strech a little before playing, especially if you aren't normally quite so active. When I first got it I played for the whole day (probably 6-7 hours with breaks), and for the next few days my arms, shoulder and upper back were in a lot of pain and had to take a break for a few days before I could play again. But it shows it does give you a good workout (especially the Gladiator Duels). I haven't played any other PS Move games yet, but I would definitely recommend this one as people's first game.

As a core launch title, Sports Champions has to directly compete with Wii Sports. The games available are: Disc Golf, Gladitors, Archery, Bocce, Table Tennis and Beach Volleyball. All look great in HD on the PS3, are easy to pick up, and make a great addition to any PS3 system.All use the motion controller well, but, ideally you will want two controllers per person to really enjoy them. Especially in the Archery and Volleyball, where with two controllers you really feel like you're mimicking it for real. However, once the initial fun of the motion controllers lifts, the game has to speak for itself; and it's good, but not great! I can only see myself spending long periods of time playing these games if it's multiplayer.On your own, once you've shot a few hundred arrows and jumped around the room playing volleyball for a bit, you realise the game has little progression.Of course, the difficulty increases, which on Gladiators gets very hard very quickly (in fact, the ankle chop is the only move that works later on!). It's just that you realise the games themselves have little in the way of development.Based solely on this game, the PS3 move is so far just an HD Wii! If you're going to buy the 'Move' system, buy this game, since it does show off what the new controllers are all about and will keep the friends entertained for quite some time.PROS:- Graphics look Good- Six Games in One- Great Multiplayer- Uses the 'Move' Controller!CONS:- Games get old quickly- Need two controllers per person to really enjoy (= ££££££££...)- Difficulty goes from easy to difficult too quickly on some games.

Got this today with the starter pack and a 2nd controller. The 2nd controller really helps with this title. Did the archery 1st off and was impressed as it looks and plays nicely. Went on to the table tennis and was disappointed as this doesn't look so great and the table area is too small for the range of spin shots etc available, also the distance is a factor as you have to keep going backwards and forwards but I guess this will come in time with practice. Then tried Bocce as I must admit I didn't know what is was before today! Very enjoyable game and a mixture of lawn bowls and Boule basically with a few different gaming locations and obstacles thrown in for good measure.Next came the gladiator game and I was hugely disappointed by the lag on it. You end up just waving your arms about without hitting anything most of the time (Am hoping for a decent sword / light sabre game on this format so hope it can be improved!). The beach volley ball is alright, nice to look at and ok to play but not amazing. Finally I ended up on the frisbee golf and have to say it's been my favourite so far. Pitching the angle, elevation and strength of the throw is very realistic and highly addictive. All in all some highs and a few lows. Looking forward to playing some more serious titles on it. I used to have the eye toy on the ps2 and this is a definite improvement. Just hope it lives up to its potential

When you buying this game, don't expect too much as there are only 6 games too choose from, however that doesn't make it not worth the money.If your playing solo, I would recommend having two controllers as archery, gladiator duel & volley ball has an option to use two, now you can use one but it's not as nearly as fun swinging one arm around instead of two, especially when playing archery.If your playing solo try out the championship mode, ace all the challenges and then complete the cups (bronze, silver & gold), as you go through the better cups the opponents become even more challenging, this is what I love about this game,it gives you something to do when you're playing by yourself.The fun gets more intense & competitive when you involve some friends or family, personally I find table tennis & bocce the most enjoyable when playing multi-player, however Gladiators & Archery are good when both player have 2 controllers each, I tried doing it with one controller but it just doesn't feel right, but that's my opinion.Overall this game is definitely worth the money, be it for solo play or with more people, the graphics are great, the controllers are responsive/accurate and surprisingly with only 6 games to choose from their is actually quite a bit too do, especially if you want to get all the trophies.

THis is really good fun for the most part. Table tennis really shows the difference between the Wii and Move. For example in Wii Tennis, a quick flick of the wrist at the right time gives the best results, and there's not a lot of control on the shot other than timing.With the Move, you have full control of how the paddle is held, power in the paddle, and where it is over the table. Move forward, and the paddle moves closer to the net. Whack the ball with top spin and that's what happens. There is far more skill involved, along with a higher learning curve.Archery is great, but you really do have to have the camera mounted properly. I initially had the camera sitting below the TV on the stand (thanks so much Sony for supplying a proper TV top stand!)but the camera could not properly track what I was doing and the game was therefore unplayable. Another £8 later and the game is great with the camera closer to shoulder height.Volleyball is a bit dull really. Make sure you have the remotes in the right place and bump them when the orb goes green. There's not a lot to the game.The fighting game is one of my favourite. You get really involved in the game. Unfortunately, the lag is also really noticeable, especially when using the power up strikes.

Archery - Will be alot better with 2 controllers but with 1 it is still entertaining, requires a steady hand and good aim, the only downside is that it gets a bit tedious after a while.Gladiator Dual - one of my favorites, again will be better with 2 controllers however even without it is very tactical and keeps you entertained for ages.Table Tennis - The most realistic and one of my joint favorite, if u use the controller exactly like it was a ping pong paddle then you will have hours of fun with this game, it recognizes chops and top spin to almost perfection.Bocce - a chilled out game, not very exciting but gives the game variety as a whole.Volley Ball - quite simple and not to much skill apart from timing,but it is a good multiplayer game.Frisbee Golf - Another chilled game but it is very realistic as well and will keep u entertained for long especially with multiplayer.Overall - A very polished game and im pretty sure no other move game at the moment is better than it. 100% go for this as your first move game!

When it comes to MOVEgames, you may purchase one of the best.The simple truth is that it won't last very long caused by signs of fatigue ;).The "sport" games :ARCHERY : requires a second controller for a perfect aiming and comes along with different types of quests during a challenge. Very fun, but painful =D.GLADIATOR : a simple fightgame with swords and a shield. Really had me going and you'll laugh your ass off !TABLE TENNIS : one of my fav's. Realistic and very fast, but you have to make sure that there's enough space around you !BOCCE : also very realisitic and exciting - just like the real one.VOLLEYBALL : not really realistic, but also very fun. Perfect for fast multiplayer-matches.FRISBEE GOLF : love it.You gotta throw a disc to attain a target. The result itself depends on your style and movements during the shot.OVERALL RATING : 4 of 5 stars caused by signs of fatigue and the limited extent. It is quite perfect for fast matches and a powerful presentation of MOVE !

Ripping of the plastics and inserting the disc is the easy part of this game.You don't get tired of doing this. Playing the game does make you tired.The insides games them selfs, so easy does it. The explanation is easy for everybody to understand.The hard part is, you get physically tired of playing, some movements are so unusual for non athletics like myself that the muscles begin to protest. And to be honest, that's also a nice part of the game. You exercise, you have to be accurate (not like Wii FIT where you can 'cheat') and the controller is accurate. So no frustration in that part.1 point of disappointment. Don't know who to blame. Being a tall man (6.1 ft),holding a controller up in the air with a low ceiling sometimes make beach volleyball a challenge. So who to blame?- My parents? They made me a tall men due to genes.- Sony? For making a new game with a long controller.- Building constructor? For making low ceiling houses.I don't know, can you tell me?

I've been playing Sports Champions for a week now, in my opinion this game is amazing, it really shows us what the future of the Playstation Move will have to offer. Although some of the games Sports Champions has to offer do not perform as well without the use of 2 Move controllers, when using just one controller games such as Table Tennis and Discuss throw are extremely accurate. Bearing in mind that other games are also extremely accurate; just in comparison to using 2 controllers they do not deliver as well. The key to feeling the five star effect from this game is to use the calibration correctly according to your environment and position. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes to move it.One thing I will definitely mention is the addictiveness of the Table Tennis game; the accuracy is way beyond my expectations. The Playstation Move should never be compared to the Nintendo Wii, it would be a waste of words.

Despite more proffesional reivews, this to me feels like more than a tech demo, its suprisingly deep especially when you consider the context, the game consists of five different types of sport, Table tennis, disc golf, bocce, archery, and volleyball, each game has three leagues, bronze silver and gold, and also a challenge mode that you must unlock, i personally think all the games apart from volleyball are really good, although bocce (which is basically mini bowles) is a bit slow. The archery is pretty hardcore, i played somebody at this and my arms were pretty sore. graphically its better than anything the wii could ever dream of but so it should be,overall this is a nice little gem that to be fair should be in every playstation move owners collection,Pros.- Nice smooth visuals- Fantastic motion control- online leaderboardsCons.- Only 5 different sports- No online play

Bought this game as it looked decent. Is definitely fun, especially if you play with someone competitive. A good variety of things for everyone. My favs are archery and table tennis, my partner's is gladiator. You can guess who wins what!A lot of slow pace games as well. If you can afford it, it is worth getting 4 controllers for this. If not, you can still make use of some of the games.Gladiator - Best with 2 controllers each, but you can use one each.Bocce - One controller in total is fine.Table tennis - One controller eachArchery - Two controllers each is best, but can be done with one each.Volleyball - best with two,but can use one each.Disc golf - One controller in total is fine.Remember to charge your spare controller if you're able to - they will run out of battery if you play as much as we do.
