75This is another motion controlled mini-game collection. It's a good one, but it's not taking the genre anywhere new.
-
75This eclectic sports collection is fun with friends and does a good job of showing what the PlayStation Move hardware is capable of.
-
75Considering the joy that the multiplayer options bring and the sheer feel of the PlayStation Move working just right with all of the activities (even with the repetitive recalibration), Sports Champions is a winner.
-
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.
-
Despite some missteps, Sports Champions is a solid offering for gamers, provided you can accept the shallow nature of a compilation such as this.
-
70Presentation is what lets Sports Champions down, and not just when it comes to the characters. The environments appear bland, empty and dated.
-
91I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the precise, enjoyably implemented motion controls and event variety totally sold me.
-
Oct 24, 201075Ultimately, there's no reason a Move-owning PS3 gamer shouldn't pick up Sports Champions. Stay away if you've only got one controller, because whether you have a Move in each hand can make or break the experience.
-
91But is Sports Champions a "killer app?" Not exactly, but, as you might guess, the multiplayer is a lot more fun than single-player.
-
80Fantastic showcase for Move.
-
75Sports Champions is a good opening effort for the PlayStation Move. It's not going to capture the attention of the world the way Wii Sports did, but it has put to rest any speculation that Sony's technology isn't up to snuff.
-
Sports Champions is by far the best of the launch lineup for the PlayStation Move. It's not quite as charming as Wii Sports, or as original, and the constant calibrating of the motion controller is a bit of a nuisance, but Sports Champions does well to showcase the talents of the PlayStation Move - specifically the highly responsive one-to-one motion control – and it's a lot of fun to play with friends or family.

Dec 22, 201060It remains an early PS Move highlight, but one that can't boast the charm or accessibility of its Wii rivals, despite the improved tech. [Nov 2010, p.92]
-
70As an example of the kind of control Move is going to allow in future titles, Sports Champions is easily the best of the launch line-up, but compared to the obvious competition (Wii Sports Resort) it's lacking content.
-
70Sports Champions manages to stand up in its own right, proving a commendable showcase for Move's impressive level of on-screen gesture replication, and highlighting the strength of Sony's tech over Nintendo's Wii Remote, even with MotionPlus attached. [Issue#101, p.124]
-
This is one of the best PlayStation Move launch titles. Its rivalry with Wii Sports is clear, and although the latters wins overwhelmgly in charm, Sport Champions options are very praisable.
-
Dec 22, 201082As a whole, I really was impressed by this game.
-
75Sports Champions is likely the strongest of the launch titles for the PlayStation Move, as it not only provides some solid entertainment in its game modes, but showcases the potential of the Move itself.
-
81Sports 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.
-
75Sports Champions is a perfect game to demonstrate the abilities of PlayStation Move and a solid piece of entertainment.
-
68It's a decent enough showcase for the hardware, and most of the games are genuinely fun, especially with friends, but it's hard to recommend without reservation when you consider how much it'll all cost.
-
70Sports Champions is the only game in the initial Move-line-up that makes it clear how impressive the abilities of the controller are, as well as having enough gameplay to make it all worthwhile. The sports are varied and work accurately, although the presentation could've benefited from a bit more spice.
-
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.
-
Unoriginal and blandly presented, but an effective vindication of Move - with at least half of the games being the best ever adaptations of their sports.
-
75Sports Champions is a perfect example of what the Playstation Move is capable of. Just don't expect to find any form of innovation in this game.
-
75A nice start for Sony Motion controller. Move is precise and accurate, and some of the sports in the package are seruoisly entertaining. Too bad that only 6 sports have been included in the blue ray.
-
76As the core PS Move title, Sports Champions delivers on what it intended to deliver: offering fun and easy sports games that everyone can pick up, play and enjoy from the start.
-
70This is the game to get if you're set on buying a Move controller or two. It's a shame that we couldn't have more involved experiences at launch, but Sports Champions should tide you over until the mythical bunch of 'second generation' Move games arrive.
-
Sports Champions is a nice experience, and is the demonstration of the PlayStation Move qualities. Some design problems with a couple of mini-games ruin the overall experience, but it's a pretty launch title.

83Exact, precise controls. [Issue#196, p.92]
