SPORTS CHAMPIONS 2

Sony
PS3/Move

Sport. It’s the backbone of our vast great nation of big brown land. Well, with little green circles dotted about so that we can play... Sport! It’s the Australian way. If ya don’t like it, you must be a bloody poo... WHOA!

OK, erm, yes, uh, cheers for that. Why the fuck did we get Sir Les Patterson in as guest intro writer?

Eww, there’s dribble all over our keyboard! Icky-icky-icky!

Anyway, sport’s something that many Aussies are passionate about. So, this compendium of six sporting endeavours, able to be played from the relatively non-green circleness of your living room, should have widespread appeal.

Obviously a sequel – well, unless you’re used to first release thingies having a ‘2’ jammed on the end - familiarity is the safe word. We were intrigued at how the first Sports Champions veered a tad left of centre in its sporting endeavour selection, and that’s been smacked down. Tennis, boxing, bowling – sound familiar? Yep, that triumwiirate’s here, bolstered by another go at archery (’cos it rocks), skiing and something else. Umm... shit, what is it? Rustle! Rustle! Oh yes, flog. But backwards.

Able to be played in various solo modes or with friends – but still not online - Sports Champions 2 continues the series’ vibe – if you can call two releases a series - in that it with Move well work does it. Unlike our ability to sentence constructs.

Want hardcore tennis, boxing, bowling, skiing or flog? There are better alternatives. After better archery? You’re shit out of luck. However, they’re all eminently playable – actually, that’s crap, the boxing sucks. OK, they’re almost all eminently playable, especially by most anybody capable of grasping a big black shaft with a glowy orb on the end of it. Although we suspect it’d work better with two...

Dirty, dirty old man!
