Each of these sports has three ladder trees to play through on your own, challenges to play, and multiplayer to tackle.
The system's OK and sometimes the slashing feels great, but the stiffness of the characters and the super-simple visuals make this feel like a really basic arcade game rather than a full-fledged PS3 game. Anyway, you slash with your weapon, slam people with your shield, and try to be the last one standing in the end. One controller can function as both if that's all you have, but having to share control of two things with one controller can be a pain. Here, one controller is your shield and another is your sword or mace. Meanwhile, table tennis provides plenty of opportunity to slam flaming ping pong balls back at your opponents, but I had a lot of trouble returning balls that were hit to the center of my side as I couldn't seem to get the PlayStation Move in the sweet spot and couldn't get power behind it.
You just stab or swing the controller when a circle goes green around the ball. Here, you use the controller or controllers to spike, dig, set and so on, but the computer automatically moves your player around. Sports Champions' volleyball match is an interesting idea that doesn't provide for the most exciting time, at least in my matches. Don't get me wrong the controls work well here in these games – I throw a Frisbee far better in this virtual world a than I do in real life – but the experience starts to feel like the same-old-same-old pretty quick. Similarly, disc golf is fun, but you're strutting your stuff on the same courses over and over again. Every time I sit down to play, I'm just tossing balls. I actually really dig bocce ball in Sports Champions, but there are no crazy cool variations for it. Sadly, that isn't the case for all the games on this disc. This keeps the sport from being a one-trick pony. There's a tic-tac-toe board where you're trying to mark your spots before your opponent can, one where you have to shove a sled across a field with your arrows, and so on. Sweetening the pot is a bunch of variations to play. It's easy to track where the arrow will go on the screen, so just about anyone can feel like Green Arrow after getting the hang of the control scheme. The act of holding the bow steady with one Move controller and pulling the other back like your arrow is simple and fun. Archery seems to be the universal favorite with everyone I've played with. Put down the sword and watch our video review.
Each game can be played with one PlayStation move controller, but a few (volleyball, gladiator and archery) support two PlayStation Move controllers per player for an even more realistic feel. Buy Sports Champions, and you're getting volleyball, table tennis, disc golf, gladiator duel, bocce and archery in one package.
