Celebrity Sports Showdown (Wii)
Plus- en minpunten
door onze specialisten
Celebrity Sports Showdown is een teleurstellende minigameverzameling die vooral in multiplayer enige waarde biedt. De 12 sportspellen zijn overwegend oppervlakkig met slechts 30-60 minuten unieke speeltijd voordat alles herhaald wordt. Reviewers hekelen consistent de slordige besturing, waarbij events zoals skiën en jetracen moeilijk te controleren zijn door onnauwkeurige bewegingsdetectie. De celebrity-thema is louter cosmetisch - geen speciale vaardigheden, muziek of stemmen - en voelt aan als een marketingtruc. Positieve punten zijn de toegankelijkheid voor casual gamers en enkele vermakelijke games zoals Beach Volleyball in groepsverband. Met een Metacritic-score van 50/100 is dit alleen interessant als goedkoop partyspel voor gezinnen die alle alternatieven al uitgespeeld hebben.

I got this game because the reviews on Amazon suggested that it was similar to Wii Sports. Whereas Wii Sports is STILL fun to play after a couple years, this game has lost its luster after only a couple hours. Whereas the controls for Wii Sports are intuitive and easily picked up even for your mom or grandparents, the controls for Celebrity Sports Showdown are harder to pick up and definitely requires some time to get used to. Whereas Wii Sports you can use your Mii avatar, in this game, you have to use either the group of celebrities or unknown avatars which they call "wannabes". The list goes on and on how this game doesn't quite match up to Wii Sports. The game isn't terrible but it isn't anything to write home about either.

I wasnt expected much when I bought this for $10 during Christmas on amazon. Turned out to be one of my best multipler wii games. I got it as a white elephant gift and then got to play it after with family and friends. Let me tell you, the dodgeball game in this is one of the best and most fun games I have played in a long time. Honestly, I would have been happy with the game if it was "Celebrity Dodgeball Showdown." Also, the other sport games were not so bad as well. They give you a chance to mix it up alittle, but in the end dodgeball is a game you could play with friends for hours at a time and really get into it. I highly recommend this game for some good ole multipler matchups. Even for $30 i still say this game is worth it.

As far as party games go, this title, and Carnival Games are the ones I'm playing the most right now. The celebrity factor is pretty cool - I think Avril Lavigne and Fergie are the ones you'll know the most. The dodgeball game is wicked - definitely the best of the set. You will need a Nunchuk though. It plays without one, but the controls are much better if you have one handy. All in all, it's has a pretty good set of mini-games - the best ones are Dodgeball, Curling, and Volleyball.

Lots of family fun!! We have laughed past the point of tears!!! You NEED this game if you like to compete against your family and have fun. My kids love it and so do I!!! Volleyball and joust are the family favorites. Horse racing is a real arobic workout.
