subject: Sports Champions [print this page] However this title to a major flaw: the package is furiously thinking about the Wii. A game to practice several sports thanks to a new controller that detects movement, it's hard not to think about Wii Sports. Especially because the warning screen that appears to launch the game, telling us to put the strap and provide enough space to play, looks very similar to what can be seen on the Wii. But the comparison stops there.
Sports Champions - PS3 If the first impression we have when we start the game is very Wii-esque, this impression disappears just arrived in menus. The HD graphics of the PlayStation 3 and make us forget Nintendo. And if there were only that, the incredible accuracy of PlayStation Move is a sacred slap in the competition. The ping-pong and disc golf exploit the latter perfectly, reproducing the slightest movement of the wrist perfectly. In addition, the physics of the ball and disc are reproduced, providing the player feel very close to the reality on the physical plane. What finally relegated the Wii in the background, see the third so the gap between the two technologies is important.
A gameplay deeper than it seems
Sports Champions - PS3 If at first sight, just wave his stick in any direction to play very quickly, the tutorials in various disciplines show us the finer points of gameplay. Thus, disc golf, they learn to control the curve take the Frisbee when launched, which will overcome obstacles later. And this is just one example among many others. In tennis, you will soon realize that he must come forward to back bunt. Similarly, for gladiatorial combat, it will strike with precision to get through the guard of the enemy, and hard to maximize the damage. In addition, we have the ability to get super attacks and impressive ecstatic to perform.
Sports Champions - PS3 If disciplines are available globally very friendly, they are unfortunately not all as successful as ping-pong and disc golf. If the shooting to archery and bowls are very fun and varied, including through the hardships and incredible scenery, it is not necessarily the case for the gladiator duels and beach volleyball. Fighting in Arena can be frustrating for some in front of the difficulty they have to touch their opponent. For volleyball, the problem is different, the precision of PS Move is not really tapped. This is more to do the right thing at the right time, just as when QTY. What can be frustrating because the control that has been on the east side of this is limited.
Sports Champions is obviously a good ambassador to promote the PS Move. Its realization HD licked and operation of the PS Move confer considerable advantages. Unfortunately all sports not offered all very exciting to play and still some bugs here and there. But nothing too serious, especially as the ping-pong and disc golf alone can justify the purchase of the title. One regret all the same, and size is the lack of online multiplayer mode. It only remains to hope an update comes to fill this gap.
